2015 is more or less wrapped up at this point. We had another good year here at the law firm with respect to DUI cases in Kansas and Missouri, as well as other kinds of cases, in which we were privileged to defend people who had been accused. A few of the Kansas DUI highlights are below.
2015 DUI Case Results
The following are some of the results we have obtained for clients in DUI cases in 2015. This list only includes Kansas DUI cases and not any of the results we have obtained in defending other types of cases. Also, this list only includes DUI cases that resulted in dismissals or acquittals and does not include the favorable results we have obtained for clients that involved resolution by plea or diversion. It is extremely important to remember, though, that past performance does not guarantee or predict future results. Every case is different and each must be judged on its own merits. No expectation of similar results in other cases should be implied by this information.
