Story

People are born to be heroes, not case numbers. However, even heroes make mistakes. Criminal charges can destroy lives and families unless you have the right attorney guiding you. I am Souder Tate, a criminal defense attorney, drug court professional, and sentencing consultant. I understand the criminal justice system and can help you

Every life is a story, but one bad chapter doesn’t mean your story is over. If you are charged with a crime, you need an attorney who has the knowledge and experience to represent you in court. However, you need more than that. You need a guide who understands the big picture and can help you see the same. I tell the stories of good people who made bad choices and want to change.

I have over 30 years of courtroom experience in criminal law, including four years as a prosecuting attorney. I work hard every day protecting and defending the rights of people charged with serious drug offenses, drunk driving, burglary, stealing and tampering charges, and probation violations. I help clients get their driving privileges back.

I care about my clients, and I hate the destruction criminal charges can have on my clients’ lives and families. If you or a family member has been charged with a crime in Springfield or Southwest Missouri, I would like the opportunity to discuss your case and explain how I can help.
