Kansas City, Missouri Drug Crime Defense Lawyers
Charged With the Wrong Crime?In one case, we represented a client who was charged with being part of a drug conspiracy involving millions of dollars' worth of a prescription drugs. Our client had been accused of laundering money for the scheme, but had no knowledge of or actual involvement with the drugs. We were able to prove he was not part of the conspiracy, and we obtained a significant reduction from the recommendations of the federal sentencing guidelines — to one day in jail. You should not be punished for a crime you did not commit. Contact us now for a free consultation. |

We Want to Help You Solve the Real Problem
Often, people who are charged with drug possession or property crimes related to drug use are not career criminals — merely addicts. Several counties in this area, including Jackson, Clay, Lafayette and Ray, have drug courts that pursue "restorative justice" by helping addicts get free of drugs instead of putting them in jail.
We may be able to help you enter these programs, which are designed to help offenders stop using drugs through intensive treatment and follow-up programs. Often, if you can gain entrance to one of these programs, your case will be dismissed.
