She has an upcoming court date. How do we get her a public defender,and how do we get guardianship of her person?

Our daughter lives in the state of Missouri , She has 2 underage sons that live with their father because she left the family to live with a boyfriend. She has demonstrated many signs of paranoid schizophrenic , and has been known to use meth, and marijuana frequently. She of course denies being a heavy user of alcohol or illegal drugs. She is very delusional and believes her current boyfriend is controlling her whole life, even through the news media, and even believes her boyfriend has a direct line to the White House. We would like to get her into a treatment program, but she has no income, and no insurance. She just lives off the current boyfriend. Facing a court date from 5 previous Failures to appear, and 3 DWI’s,some with drugs.

Defense Lawyer Chris Simon’s Answer

I agree with counsel above, it is her responsibility to get a public defender. Of note though is this, KC has a wonderful drug court with great success that can help her, if you can get to her and speak with her and her attorney about this situation, she may get in that program.

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
