Some of the Criminal Cases We Handle

There are two main types of crime in Kansas: misdemeanors and felonies. A felony conviction is much harsher than getting convicted by a misdemeanor since it can result in a state prison sentence of more than one year. However, a misdemeanor conviction can still lead to a county jail term between one month and one year. Misdemeanors and felonies in Kansas are divided into different classes.
