I have extensive experience working in Kansas appellate courts, providing an in-depth understanding of the Kansas criminal justice system. I can use my knowledge and experience in the courts to put together a strong defense for any criminal charge you’re facing.

I chose the field of DUI defense for many reasons.  I have a great deal of experience in all areas of the criminal law, and it is my opinion that more people are falsely accused of DUI than any other crime.  Many Judges and jurors assume a person is impaired if he or she cannot walk perfectly heel-to-toe on a line or stand on one leg for thirty seconds.  The fact is, most people cannot do these things after having nothing to drink.  Try to do theses things in your living room, then imagine trying to do them on the side of a busy street after being pulled out of your car by a police officer.  Additionally, I like the scientific aspects of this field, such as the effects of alcohol and drugs on the human body and the inability of breath testing machines to accurately measure a person's alcohol level.

I am a happily married father of two perfect little girls, and I think about my own family when working with clients.

As a criminal defense lawyer, I am committed to listening to my clients to learn who they are and what their story is all about. Learning my client's story is how I can best educate judges, prosecutors, juries, and the media.. There are many criminal defense lawyers, but far fewer lawyers who routinely put cases before a jury. From July of 2021 to June of 2024, I was lead counsel on eight jury trials, including three homicide cases and three sexual assault cases. In seven of these eight trials, my clients were found not guilty of every single charge put before their jury. In the eighth case, my client was found not guilty of homicide, but guilty of drug distribution.. I have worked hard to develop a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to my work, taking into account the many factors that contribute to a situation where someone finds themselves accused of a crime. A client's future is critically important to me and I will go to extreme lengths within the confines of the law and my ethical duties to assist each client.. I am licensed to practice law in both Kansas and in Missouri.
