William (Bill) Byrnes, is an Award-Winning and Nationally Honored Criminal Defense attorney. In 2013, The National Advocacy for DUI Defense (NAFDD) invited Bill to join their invite-only organization of the nation’s very best private DUI attorneys. The NAFDD honored Bill as one of the top 100 Driving Under the Influence (DUI) attorneys out of the 24,423 in Missouri. In the invitation, NAFDD Executive Director, Stephen Glazer stated, “Let’s face it: DUI law can be complicated, and not all attorneys are created equal.”
Bill not only wins awards, he creates case law. Bill successfully argued in trial violations of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution commonly referred to as the search and seizure laws. When the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld Bill’s very solid argument, this became Missouri Case Law for Search and Seizure. This Case Law is now quoted by Lawyers in Missouri and in many other courtrooms across the United States.
