Experienced DWI Defense in Overland Park and Leawood

In defending against DUI charges, experience counts. I am Paul Cramm, an experienced Overland Park DUI defense attorney whose practice is limited exclusively to criminal defense. I know Johnson County DUI laws in depth.

I prepare every case as though it were going to trial. I believe that is the only way to truly know the detailed facts of each case. If a better outcome is available by means of negotiations, I can effectively negotiate a plea deal. I have always believed that the prosecutor is much more likely to make a favorable offer if he or she knows the defense lawyer is prepared for trial - particularly if that lawyer has a proven track record for achieving acquittals and "not guilty" verdicts in prior DUI trials.

DUI penalties can include:

• Possible jail sentence of up to 1 year
• Loss of driving privileges
• Steep fines
• Significantly increased insurance rates
• Social embarrassment and damage to reputation

Effective Leawood Criminal Defense

Effective defense requires thorough knowledge of the enforcement and prosecution of drunk driving charges, which differ among Kansas and Missouri communities. I know Leawood and Overland Park DUI laws. In planning a drunk driving defense strategy, I look at everything in order to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients. Experience has taught me to carefully consider:

• The initial traffic stop – Did the officer have a valid reason to stop you?
• The DUI investigation – Did the officer have valid suspicion of elevated blood alcohol content?
• The field sobriety tests -- Did the officer correctly administer the roadside sobriety test and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests?
• The chemical test at the station – Did the officer follow required protocol for administration of the Intoxilyzer test?
