Greg Wittner focuses exclusively on criminal defense. Practice areas include assault, child pornography, computer crimes, conspiracy, drug offenses, DWI and DUI charges, expungements, fraud, juvenile crimes, murder, sex crimes, theft, traffic violations, weapons offenses, and white collar crimes. The firm also advises on corporate governance and compliance matters that intersect with criminal exposure.

Yes. Greg Wittner is licensed in both Missouri and Illinois state courts and is admitted to practice in multiple federal courts, including the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri, the Southern and Central Districts of Illinois, the Eastern District of Texas, and the Northern District of Ohio, as well as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the 5th Circuit. This dual state and federal experience matters because federal criminal cases follow a different set of rules, sentencing guidelines, and procedural timelines than state cases.

Speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney before answering questions from law enforcement. In the United States, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Exercising both protects you regardless of the underlying facts. Do not consent to searches, do not discuss the case with anyone other than your attorney, and preserve any documents, messages, or recordings that may be relevant. If you are in Missouri or Illinois, contact Wittner Law at 314.406.5006 to discuss your situation directly with Greg Wittner.

Yes. Expungements are a listed practice area at Wittner Law. Eligibility, waiting periods, and the petition process differ significantly between Missouri and Illinois law and depend on the specific charges, dispositions, and your post-conviction history. Greg can review your record and explain which offenses, if any, may be eligible for expungement or sealing, and what the process will look like in your jurisdiction.

Yes. Wittner Law represents minors in juvenile court proceedings, including delinquency matters, school-related offenses, and certification hearings where prosecutors seek to try a juvenile as an adult. Because juvenile records and certification decisions can affect a young person's education, employment, and future opportunities, early representation is important.

After more than three decades practicing criminal defense, including six years at Rosenblum Schwartz Fry & Johnson, Greg Wittner launched WITTNER LAW in July 2024 with a deliberately client-centric model. Rather than carrying a high-volume caseload, the firm intentionally preserves the capacity to give every client direct access to Greg and a defense strategy built around the specific facts of their case, not a templated approach. Greg also maintains an AV rating with Martindale-Hubbell and is a member of The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys (Missouri).
