Under the recent Kansas Sentencing Guidelines, the sentence for a felony conviction depends upon the severity level of the felony offense and your prior criminal record. The potential sentence for a felony conviction may include large fines, license suspension, probation, life in prison, and more. The impact on individuals and their families is tremendous. Nobody is prepared to handle the consequences of a felony conviction.

Attorney Jackie Rokusek
Throughout my career as a criminal defense attorney, I have defended hundreds of clients charged with all types of felony crimes. I am familiar with the techniques prosecutors use when building a case against the defendant. By thoroughly investigating a case and working with outside resources, I am able to work for optimal results in each and every case I handle.
If there is an opportunity for a dismissal or acquittal in a felony case, I will not hesitate to pursue it. I would never encourage a client to plead guilty in a felony case without exploring the possibility for acquittal, dismissal, reduction of charges or alternative sentencing. I will do whatever can be done to pursue the best results on a client's behalf.
