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.

"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.

"Excellent Lawyer!"
I'm so glad I chose Mr.Schanker as my lawyer to fight the DWI case in MO. He informed me all about the case laws/scenarios and gave very practical recommendations to follow. Careful listener who never understated the issue but navigated me through due process ultimately finding a way to plead down to a much lesser charge! Very reasonably priced and experienced....highly recommended. Good Luck!
