Criminal Law
An experienced and knowledgeable attorney is of paramount importance in a criminal case because the penalties for a conviction can be severe and life-altering. Unlike civil cases, in which the vast majority of penalties incurred are financial, criminal cases can result in not only fines, but punishments that deny an individual’s basic liberties as well. These can include imprisonment, mandated government supervision during a period of probation, and the loss of your driving privileges. If you have been charged with a crime, a criminal defense lawyer can help protect your rights.
If you have been accused of a misdemeanor or felony, you need legal representation to ensure that you are given due process in court. As local jurisdictions often abide by sets of slightly different penal codes, trying a case is a very idiosyncratic process that requires the individuals involved to have intimate knowledge of the particular laws on the books. Our experienced attorneys have expert knowledge of the law in both Missouri and Kansas and are ready to help with your case today. If you would like to learn more about your criminal case schedule a consultation with our attorneys today.
