Attorney Jerry L. Wallentine Jr.
Experience is the key to a successful legal career. I started my journey as an attorney by learning from some of the best and most experienced lawyers in Kansas. This has allowed me to flourish as a private criminal defense attorney in Olathe. I graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration. Later, I graduated from the University of Kansas School of Law, where I earned my J.D. I love being an attorney and representing my clients. Additionally, I occasionally serve as pro tem judge in Johnson County District Court. I especially enjoy filling in for judges when they go on vacation or get sick.
Committed, Aggressive & Professional Legal Representation
Since that time, I have been able to help hundreds of clients with felony or misdemeanor charges. I began my legal career learning from the best criminal defense lawyers in Kansas.
If you are badly injured, I can also help you to get the money that you deserve using my skill in personal injury law. I am focused on client-centered service and always put my client's needs first. Prior to pursuing a career as a lawyer, I was a persuasive professional speaker for 10 years. As a result, I have honed my skills to become a dynamic trial attorney.
My Philosophy: Client-Centered and Results-Driven Service
I only focus two areas of law: criminal defense and car accidents. Over my career I have defended hundreds of clients at jury trials, bench trials, suppression hearings, pleas and more for criminal cases. I have also developed a knack for advocating on behalf of those injured in car accidents in the Johnson County area. Whenever I take on a case, I adopt the responsibility to protect my clients' rights and interests. I will prepare your case for trial regardless of whether or not we choose to take it to the court room. I am not complacent with settlements and bargains in my cases if I believe there is more that can be done.
