A strong defense begins with the facts. We fully contemplate and investigate your case to determine how best to advise you and help you consider your best course of action. We can utilize a premier licensed private investigator to help investigate facts which may be useful in certain cases. Don't rely on police investigations—when you can get the facts yourself. We can start investigating your case immediately. That can pay off in successful results. It is a well-known fact that witnesses can be swayed or intimidated by the police, and our ability to get recorded statements or physical evidence early in an investigation can prevent that from happening. Witnesses often lose their memory or change their position, so memorializing their statements early is imperative to a successful defense.

Our law office is located directly across the street from the Johnson County Courthouse and the prosecutor's office. An aggressive defense can sometimes mean your case is rejected, dismissed, or filed as a misdemeanor rather than a felony. A strong defense begins immediately—not in the courtroom. As soon as you suspect you may be charged with a crime, call us!
