When the Stakes Are High, Protect Your Rights
If you have been charged with a repeat DUI, the best thing you can do for yourself is to secure the services of an experienced, skilled lawyer. Repeat DUI convictions involve steep fines, mandatory jail sentences and loss of your driver’s license. A third-time DUI is charged as a felony.
Kansas is one of the most unforgiving states in the nation when it comes to DUIs, even first-time DUIs. As a former Johnson County District Attorney and Kansas Attorney General, I played a role in reviewing sentencing guidelines and policy on DUIs and other criminal matters. I now employ my considerable legal knowledge and ability on behalf of my clients.

The Lifetime Look Back With DUIs
DUI convictions in Kansas involve a "lifetime look back." If you got a DUI when you were 21, were never in trouble again, but now at age 60 are charged with a second DUI, if convicted, your first DUI will be taken into account during charging and sentencing of the second DUI.
Focused on Compelling Presentation of Facts in Your Favor
As a former prosecutor for more than 18 years, I can attest that most prosecutors want to do the right thing. They simply may not have or consider all the facts and mitigating circumstances of your situation. In addition to vigorously defending you in court, my job also includes educating prosecutors, judges and juries about these facts and circumstances of your arrest and of your situation.
You are presumed innocent in any repeat DUI charge. The prosecution has to prove prior DUIs. Obtaining these records is often difficult and made more so because I will challenge them every step of the way.
