Thorough Preparation and Skilled Criminal Courtroom Advocacy
With offices in Lee's Summit and Independence, most of our criminal defense practice focuses on municipal court cases in eastern Jackson County, Missouri. We know the courts, the prosecutors and the law enforcement officers. Most significantly, we know the value of thorough preparation for helping you resolve a wide variety of offenses, including:
- DUI or DWI
- Traffic violations
- Simple assault, domestic assault or juvenile assault
- Drug possession
- Theft, shoplifting, trespass, vandalism and other property crimes
- White collar crimes such as fraud or embezzlement
- Sex crimes and sexual assault
Although we don't always take criminal matters to trial, we prepare your defense as if we will. Our commitment to trial preparation represents a major source of our negotiating leverage for reducing the charges against you or getting them dismissed.
Diversion and Pretrial Alternatives
Especially for first offenders, our familiarity with the full range of pretrial diversion alternatives can help keep your case out of the criminal justice system altogether. Not only will you have the chance to avoid punishment, you can keep your record clean.
Professional Licenses
Some of our criminal defense clients work in licensed professions such as teaching, nursing, real estate or coaching. An arrest and conviction can result in disciplinary problems that might be more severe than the criminal sanctions. Our attorneys will keep your occupational status in mind while resolving your criminal charges and we can represent you before your licensing board on administrative proceedings involving your license.
