Plea Bargaining in Kansas City
Attorney Steve Schanker Explains the Laws
Negotiating a charge of DUI or DWI is allowed in both Kansas and Missouri subject to some limitations and mandatory minimum punishments. This process is known as plea bargaining.
In Kansas, a DUI cannot be amended to a lesser offense pursuant to state law. Diversion can help avoid a conviction for a first-time offender. For repeat offenders in Kansas, plea bargaining for the minimum possible jail sentence, for house arrest, and for work release can keep you financially secure and your family safe.
In Missouri, Mr. Schanker has been successful in having DWI charges amended to careless driving under certain circumstances and has obtained suspended sentences from judges to avoid criminal convictions for his clients.
Contact the criminal attorney in Kansas City for the legal guidance you need in regard to a plea bargain.

"Steve Schanker is a great choice if you need a lawyer!"
Steve took my DWI case and thoroughly explained my options. He was able to work through the process and get the charge dropped to a lesser charge and Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS), no conviction, no points lost. He really is very knowledgable of the system and will work hard for you. I highly recommend him!,- Dan FParkville, MO -
"Great Lawyer!"
Great Lawyer! Really communicates well with you, and explains everything in great detail. He is the only lawyer that answered at 6:30 PM at night, and spoke to me over the phone for a long time as I explained my story and he explained the process. I would recommend him to anyone who is in this situation.
