Client FAQs
Q1: How fast can I speak to a criminal lawyer in Wichita?
Usually the same business day. For urgent matters—jail releases, warrants, or upcoming court—we prioritize immediate steps.
Q2: Do you handle DUI, traffic, and domestic cases? Yes. We handle DUI/DWI, license issues, interlock, CDL concerns, and traffic offenses like speeding and DWS. We also represent clients in divorces, custody disputes, child support, and PFA/PFS cases, offering the same fast action and clear communication across both criminal and domestic matters.
Q3: What will this cost me?
We offer transparent flat or hourly fees depending on the case and complexity. Many family law and criminal matters qualify for payment plans, and we’ll always be upfront about costs before any work begins.
Q4: Should I talk to police or my spouse’s attorney if they “just want my side”? No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel. Whether it’s law enforcement or opposing counsel, politely decline and ask to speak with your lawyer first. We’ll help you decide if and when speaking helps your case.
Q5: What’s the difference between municipal and district court?
Wichita Municipal Court handles city ordinance violations (often misdemeanors and traffic cases), while Sedgwick County District Court handles state-level criminal charges and domestic cases like divorce, custody, and protection orders.
Q6: What should I bring to my first consultation? Bring any court papers, police reports, or prior orders you’ve received, along with notes or messages related to your case. For domestic matters, documents like parenting plans, child support worksheets, or text/email communication can help us hit the ground running. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — we’ll guide you on what’s most useful for your situation.
Q7: Can you help if a case is already filed? Yes. Whether it’s a criminal charge that’s already been set for court or a divorce or custody case that’s underway, we can step in at any point. We’ll review what’s been filed, assess deadlines, and make sure your next move is strategic — not rushed.
