Jury Success, St. Charles Co. since 1999*
Posting bond gets you out. Mike Kielty keeps you out.

Whoever says money can't buy you happiness has never been found not guilty with Mike Kielty.

Cases Mike Has Won at Trial

The following are charge types where Mike has obtained acquittals, dismissals, or extraordinary reductions — the kind of outcomes that define a career:

Domestic Assault
Assault
Violation of an Order of Protection
Armed Criminal Action
Unlawful Use of a Weapon
Vehicular Assault
Property Damage
Harassment
DWI / Driving While Intoxicated
Driving While Revoked
Possession of a Controlled Substance
Distribution of a Controlled Substance
Manufacturing a Controlled Substance
Organized Theft
Child Endangerment
Interference with Custody

Extraordinary Outcomes

Beyond outright acquittals, some of Mike's most significant wins have come in the form of outcomes that changed the entire trajectory of a client's life:

  • Statutory rape reduced to child endangerment — without sex offender registration. A result that preserved a client's entire future.
  • Manslaughter reduced to a suspended imposition of sentence misdemeanor assault — a felony that could have meant years in prison resolved without a felony conviction.
  • Countless charges kept from ever being filed — the wins nobody sees, because Mike got involved early enough to stop the case before it started.
  • Countless felonies reduced to misdemeanors — protecting records, careers, licenses, and futures.
  • Thousands of DWI cases tried and won — more DWI trial experience than virtually any attorney in the region.

These aren't statistics. They're people — people who still have their freedom, their families, their careers, and their futures because Mike fought for them.

Why Trial Results Matter — Even If Your Case Never Goes to Trial

Over 90% of criminal cases end in a negotiated resolution. So why does a jury record matter? Because plea offers are priced by risk. A prosecutor negotiating with an attorney who hasn't picked a jury in years prices the case one way. A prosecutor negotiating with Mike Kielty — who tried fourteen jury trials in a single year and won acquittals in ten — prices it very differently.

Since 1999, no attorney in St. Charles County has had more success in front of a jury.* That reputation walks into the room before Mike does.

What "Winning" Looks Like

  • Not guilty verdicts at jury trial
  • Dismissals — won through suppression motions, witness problems, and pretrial litigation
  • Charges reduced — felonies to misdemeanors, records protected
  • Probation instead of prison, diversion instead of conviction, SIS dispositions that keep records clean

Every case is different, and the right "win" depends on your facts, your record, and your goals. The first step is a frank conversation about all three.

*Based on jury trial results in the State of Missouri since 1999. Past results afford no guarantee of future results. Every case must be judged on its own facts.
