Strategic DUI and DWI Defense to Protect Your Driver's License

A driving under the influence arrest involves both a criminal charge and an administrative hearing that can immediately suspend your driving privileges. Our dui/dwi defense lawyers are skilled in identifying defenses designed to protect your record. Courtney T. Henderson completed the standardized field sobriety testing practitioner course, enabling him to cross-examine arresting officers with professional precision. We review your traffic stop, examining whether police had reasonable suspicion to pull you over and if field tests were administered correctly. We handle both the administrative hearing and criminal court to pursue a dismissal or reduction of charges.

Comprehensive Drug Crimes and Violent Offenses Defense

Kansas enforces strict penalties for possessing, selling, and distributing controlled substances. Our drug crime defense lawyers represent clients facing drug charges, including possession of marijuana, prescription fraud, and distribution allegations. We also defend individuals accused of violent crimes, domestic violence, weapons charges, and sexual offenses. We understand that many criminal accusations stem from illegal stops or search and seizure violations. By investigating the specific facts of your case, we build a customized defense designed to expose weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Protecting Young Futures with Dedicated Juvenile Defense

When a minor is accused of an offense, the juvenile justice system operates with distinct procedures and goals compared to adult court.
