Kansas City Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal investigations are rarely, if ever, conducted in the manner portrayed on television police dramas like “CSI,” “Law and Order” or “Bones.” Most police departments face budgetary and manpower constraints that impact their ability to check alternative leads, track down witnesses and perform all necessary forensic tests.

Under time constraints, police often assess whatever preliminary evidence is available and form a “working theory” of what they believe happened. Often, evidence that contradicts this theory and isn’t supported by any hard physical evidence is overlooked, which can lead to a wrongful conviction. You need an experienced attorney who can redirect the investigating agency and keep you protected.

Aggressive Defense For State And Federal Crimes

The defense lawyer at the Stone Law Office provides effective legal representation to residents of Kansas and Missouri who are facing criminal charges. Attorney Gary D. Stone regularly consults with forensic experts, lab technicians, hair and fiber analysts, weapons experts and other professionals to defend people accused of committing crimes including:

  • Federal and state drug offenses – Drug possession, distribution and trafficking
  • Federal criminal offenses – Tax fraud, money laundering, bank robbery and extortion
  • Driving under the influence (DUI)/drunk driving – First DUI, multiple DUI and refusal to submit violations
  • Violent crimes – Assault and battery, sexual assault and murder
  • Weapons offenses – Unlawful possession and illegal discharge
  • Traffic violations – Excessive speeding, reckless endangerment and DUI
  • Property crimes – Theft, burglary and robbery charges

Protect Your Rights

If you’re convicted of a felony, then you risk limitations and losing the freedom to:

  • Vote – Your voice in our democratic nation will be lost because a person convicted of a felony is subject to the loss of voting rights.
  • Possess or own a firearm – Federal and state courts adhere to strict sentencing guidelines that prohibit those convicted of felony charges from exercising their constitutional right to bear arms.
  • Be free from random search and seizures – Whether you are sentenced to probation or prison depends on the nature of the offense and state and federal sentencing guidelines. If you are on parole or probation, then the supervising officer assigned to you has the right to enter and search your property for unlawful items. If the officer finds any, you may be contending with revocation of probation or even additional charges.

Once charged, you have just one chance to get your defense right. You need an experienced criminal defense lawyer dedicated to aggressively protecting your rights. Attorney Stone is not afraid to take your case all the way to trial. As a former assistant district attorney, Mr. Stone has the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to defend you against the most serious felony criminal charges.

What You Should Know If You’re Facing Criminal Charges

When you’re arrested or under investigation, it’s normal to have questions about what happens next. Here are some of the most common concerns we hear from clients:

What should I do if I am arrested in Kansas?

Stay calm and do not resist. Clearly state that you want to speak with a lawyer. Do not answer any questions until your attorney is present. Anything you say can be used against you.

How can a criminal defense attorney help me?

Your lawyer will protect your rights, investigate the case, negotiate with prosecutors and represent you in court. A strong defense can lead to reduced charges, dismissed cases or better outcomes at trial.

What are my rights during a police interrogation?

You have the right to remain silent and to have a lawyer with you. If you ask for a lawyer, questioning must stop. You are not required to speak to police without legal counsel.

Can I get a public defender if I can’t afford a lawyer?

Yes, if you qualify financially. However, public defenders often handle many cases at once. Hiring a private attorney may give you more time, attention and resources for your defense.
