The reasons I chose to be a Kansas criminal defense lawyer are difficult to put into words.. It’s the feeling I get when I see somebody’s car pulled over and they watch helplessly as their property is searched. I wonder: was there a legitimate reason for the stop? Did they consent to the search?. When I hear on the news that a suspect is taken into custody, my first thoughts are: How did they get to be a suspect in the first place? Will they be intimidated into surrendering their rights? Do they really understand the Miranda warning? What coercive interrogation tactics will be used? Promises? Threats? Lies?. If a case does make it to trial: Will the judge and jury really presume the Defendant is innocent? What extra credibility will they give an accuser's testimony over the Defendants? Will the jury truly not use the Defendant’s silence as an inference of guilt?. If someone is sentenced to prison: What kind of person will they be when they complete their sentence? Once they have paid their debt to society, the stigma of being a ‘felon’ will forever haunt them, taking away their right to vote, bear arms and eligibility for countless jobs. Is this really in the public’s best interest?. These are my thoughts and some of the feelings that inspired me to become a Kansas criminal defense lawyer and continue to drive me every day to defend our rights..

I am Kansas City born and raised.  I spent four wonderful years in Nashville Tennessee; however, I knew I was coming back home eventually.  After completing law school at the University of Kansas, I began building a foundation for my own law practice.  Initially, I began practicing as a personal injury attorney.  Wanting to gain a better understanding for the craft, and in an effort to gain more experience, I worked for an insurance defense company.  While those jobs taught me about the process, I wanted to hone my skill in the courtroom.   I opened my own criminal defense firm in 2014.  I was in the courtroom nearly everyday.  I worked cases ranging from DUI, Domestic Battery, Murder and everything in between.. Now, I am putting that foundation to use for my clients. I believe that my success hinges on my reputation with my clients.  As a result, I take pride in ensuring client satisfaction with each case. I would be honored to put my experience to work for you.
