After 45+ years of helping people resolve their problems, dilemmas, and obstacles to success and/or contentment, I am ready to retire. Consequently, I'm not taking new clients as of 01-Nov-2021. To all I was able to help, I thank you for your trust and, of course, your money. To the few I was unable to help, I'm truly sorry that the best I could do wasn't enough to get what you sought. I retire with many memories and emotions, some that give me pride and satisfaction, a few that I'd like to forget. I wish I could retire with as much pride in the legal profession as I had when I started but, unfortunately, the past decade has shown me too many lawyers whose character and motivation have convinced me that it's high time to get out. I refuse to sell my soul, my integrity, and my honor, and I decline to participate in an arena where the highest honors go not to those who achieve justice but to those who garner the most fees. Good bye and good luck.

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I have been practicing law in Kansas and Missouri for over 30 years.  I have dedicated my practice to helping people in need.  Whether it be aggressively defending someone accused of a crime, or representing someone that has suffered a serious injury to themselves or a loved one, I am the lawyer who goes in front of the jury and asks for justice.. When individuals call my office to talk to me about their criminal case, or a personal injury claim they may have, I listen to what they have to say, and explain what their rights are.  Often times, they don’t fully understand the charges against them, or for a personal injury case, the damages they are entitled to.  But for every call, I take the time to listen, and respond to their questions in a meaningful way.
