He attended classes offered by the Kansas Highway Patrol on DUI prosecution and has successfully defended clients by demonstrating: lack of probable cause, defective testing equipment, illegal search, improper blood alcohol testing procedures, and improper arrest procedures. His familiarity with the courtroom gives our clients and edge in their criminal defense cases. He has tried over 60 jury trials and is a graduate of the National Trial Advocacy II Program offered through the National District Attorney Association.
