Understanding The KCMO Legal System
The legal process in Kansas City can be complex. If the Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) arrests you, you will likely go to the Jackson County Detention Center. The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office then handles your case, which a judge hears in the Jackson County Circuit Court or the Kansas City Municipal Court.
Hiring a local Kansas City criminal lawyer who knows these specific courts, judges and prosecutors is key to a strong defense. Our firm’s local knowledge helps us build a successful strategy for you.
Common Criminal Charges We Defend
We provide determined and knowledgeable legal representation for a wide range of criminal charges in the Kansas City area, including:
- DUI/DWI: Kansas City’s busy nightlife makes these charges common. We challenge field sobriety tests and breathalyzer results to protect your driving privileges and freedom.
- Drug crimes: As a major transportation hub, Kansas City sees many drug-related offenses. We handle cases ranging from simple possession to more serious charges like trafficking.
- Violent crimes: If someone accuses you of assault or domestic violence, we will challenge the evidence and stand up for your innocence.
- Gun charges: We provide a vigorous defense for clients facing illegal possession or other gun-related charges, which are governed by specific laws in Missouri.
- Theft, burglary and sex offenses: We represent clients facing all types of felony and misdemeanor charges.
No matter the charge, we will work tirelessly to protect your freedom and build a strategic defense.
