Criminal Defense
The choice of a criminal defense attorney is a serious matter and should not be determined solely by advertisements or this website. The repercussions of a felony charge can be felt through the rest of your life, even if you are found innocent of charges. Contact me today for a complimentary consultation so that I may begin building your defense immediately.
DUI/DWI
My job is to focus on your specific needs, whether they involve representation for a DUI or DWI, bicycle accident, or employment issue such as overtime cases or discrimination in the workplace.
Sex Crimes
Even being accused of sexual assault or rape can have devastating effects on your personal life and career. If you or a loved one are accused of a sexual crime, you need to stop what you are doing right now and contact an attorney immediately. The courts are not known for leniency in these types of accusations, and the penalties will likely be severe. If you are being charged or accused of sexual assault or rape, contact me immediately so that I can begin to immediately resolve your legal issue.
Fraud
The IRS is usually only interested in collecting taxes owed, plus interest accrued and possibly a few penalties. However, if the IRS suspects that you have committed tax fraud, they can impose a hefty civil tax fraud penalty. If found guilty, you may receive fines up to $250,000 and up to five years in prison.
Robbery
Most violent crimes involve an aggressive and dangerous action towards others. Murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and assault are all considered violent crimes. The offender typically threatens or uses force upon a victim. Depending on the degree and jurisdiction, some violent crimes may be defined more broadly or narrowly.
Burglary
The unlawful entry into any building or structure with the intent to commit a crime is considered burglary. Usually such places must be closed to the public at the time of the incident and proof of intent must be established. Timing and property damages are also taken into consideration for such charges.
White Collar Crimes
White collar crimes involving business, executives, salaried professionals and financial moguls. These charges range from financial theft to money laundering, fraud and negligence. Both criminal and civil charges can be pursued for such crimes. It is a common myth that the penalties for white collar crimes are soft, and many are lead to believe that the hiring of an attorney doesn’t apply to them. Don’t let this happen to you. Contact an experienced trial attorney familiar with the intricacies of white collar criminal law.
Theft
Misdemeanors
If you have been charged with a criminal infraction in either Kansas or Missouri, it is imperative that you consult with a criminal defense attorney immediately about your case. The costs of a felony or even misdemeanor charge carry a myriad of unseen costs, including loss of employment, large fines, and even imprisonment. Additionally, because of the dual-state nature of Kansas City, both Kansas and Missouri state laws apply and can cause conflict. Consider hiring an attorney who is not only comfortable with Kansas and Missouri criminal law but is also a qualified trial attorney.
Embezzlement
Judges and prosecutors do not take embezzlement charges lightly. The idea of an executive or other employer betraying their company’s trust for personal gain doesn’t look good to juries, even if you are innocent. Embezzlement cases are complex ordeals, requiring hours and hours of research and complicated financial questions.
Assault
Murder
If you or a loved one have been charged with, or are suspected of carrying out, assault, murder, or other violent crime it is imperative that you consult with an attorney immediately. These types of crimes carry lengthy sentences, and the courts are very serious about the nature of these crimes. If you are falsely accused, proving your innocence becomes mandatory. Contact me immediately so that we may discuss you or your loved one’s legal options moving forward.
Juvenile Crimes
Individuals under the age of 18 years old are considered juveniles in the eyes of the law. Juvenile crimes are generally less severe than a crime committed by an adult, but sometimes juveniles are sentenced as adults. It is important that if you or a loved one are being charged with a juvenile crime that you hire an attorney familiar with juvenile law in both Kansas and Missouri.
Probation Violation
White collar crimes, violent crimes, probation violations, felony charges, burglary, and sexual assault all fall under the umbrella of criminal defense. Generally, the more egregious the charge, the more likely law enforcement and the courts will seek to detain you and determine bail. If you or a loved one are currently in jail or prison, consulting with an attorney should be your number one priority. For less serious crimes, you will likely be notified through official mail. Despite the lack of severity in certain crimes, you should never assume that you can represent yourself in court. A seasoned criminal defense trial lawyer will be able to plead your case and help avoid costly charges from showing on your record.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Most white collar crimes are generally business and professional-related crimes. Some of these types of criminal charges include embezzlement, tax evasion, and other crimes that break ordinance in business law. Being charged with a crime of this nature can severely inhibit your ability to get a job, as well various fines and fees associated therein. If you are being charged or accused of a white-collar crime in Kansas City, contact me immediately.

Workers Compensation
Yes. Employers are held to strict safety regulations when it comes to introducing employees to dangerous environments, equipment or chemicals. If an employer failed to meet required safety standards, through choice or neglect, they can be held responsible for damages. Personal injuries are common on the worksite, and workers are due fair workers compensation when accidents occur. Infractions such as insufficient training, broken equipment or exposure to toxic/carcinogenic chemicals can all be used to support a personal injury lawsuit.
Wrongful Termination
The area of practice known as employment law covers the rights, obligations, and responsibilities within the employer-employee relationship-from wages and workplace safety to discrimination and wrongful termination. Employment lawyers typically specialize in representing either employers or employees, but rarely both. Those who represent employees might assist unions or work directly with employees to file lawsuits against employers or negotiate settlements for a wide range of grievances.

Premises Liability
Yes. Slip and fall cases are classified as premises liability lawsuits. Property owners have the responsibility to ensure safe premises. If a property does not adhere to current safety codes, or if the property owner’s negligence created a dangerous situation, they are responsible for damages inflicted.

Personal Injury
If you or a loved one have been involved in a serious accident or personal injury, you will no doubt have questions and be feeling stress both emotionally and financially. What happens next is important to your well-being. It is imperative that you act fast to mitigate the losses and receive the compensation that you are due. Whether you were injured through negligence, an accident, or any reason, you need to know your rights.
Medical Malpractice
The doctor/patient relationship establishes confidentiality and trust. When a doctor is considered negligent while treating a patient, this medical malpractice. The existence of an outstanding duty, deviation of standard care, or injury to the patient can all be considered malpractice. Both civil and criminal charges can be pursued depending on the severity of the situation.
Auto Accidents
Slip and Fall Injury
Property owners must maintain a reasonably safe environment for the public. Otherwise, a slip and fall injury can turn into a personal injury and compensation case. Depending upon the patron’s actions or state of mind, a slip and fall injury could constitute damages. The court will establish who is at fault and who is negligent. However, patrons injured or involved in an accident should pursue legal counsel to ensure protection. Contact me about your personal injury / slip and fall injury case today.
