Regardless of the circumstances that brought you to a criminal charge, and regardless of your guilt or innocence, I cannot stress enough the importance of hiring a private criminal defense attorney to defend you in the face of a criminal investigation or criminal accusation. Once you are convicted of a crime, you face a series of negative consequences, some of which are permanent and life-altering.
For example, a criminal conviction can include any of the following depending on your circumstances: jail or prison sentencing, hefty monetary fines, community service, probation or parole, victim restitution, mandatory drug or alcohol treatment, anger management classes, driver's license suspension, prohibition from owning or using a firearm and more.

Because it is illegal, under Kansas law, to plea bargain a DUI charge, the plea options, in a Kansas DUI matter, are usually limited to the following:
- Take the matter to Trial
- Consider diversion (if the person is eligible for diversion)
- Consider a plea of guilty, or no contest, to the DUI charge (if no better option is available) with negotiated plea minimums and, possible, dismissal of non-DUI charges that may be accompanying the DUI charge
A 4th alternative may be having the DUI charge dismissed IF the defense can show the prosecution that there is insufficient evidence to support a conviction to the charge - however, only an experienced attorney can understand the complexities of a DUI case, and conduct the relevant discovery (reports, lab results, video/audio recordings, and witness statements) needed to show the prosecution the true weaknesses to their prosecution case. I believe that every client deserves to have the best result possible under the circumstances of their case. I educate my clients on the relevant law regarding their factual circumstances so that my client can make the best decision possible regarding the outcome of their case.

My name is Steve Neighbors, and I've successfully practiced law for 30 years. I have purposefully narrowed the scope of my practice to concentrate on DUI defense and in my experience, it is only through aggressive, and thorough, defense work, in opposition to the prosecution of DUI charges, that my client will obtain the best outcome possible. Your freedoms and rights are at stake; and, with a knowledgeable attorney working for you, there are many times when your charges can either be reduced, or dismissed (for insufficient evidence to convict) - which could result in the penalties you face being diminished.

That depends upon the exact DUI offense you have been charged with, the severity of the crime and your prior DUI history. Commonly, DUI offenses are penalized by fines, community service, driver's license suspension, a jail sentence and possible impoundment of your vehicle. In addition, you will have to attend an alcohol awareness program. In some cases, an ignition interlock device will be installed in your car.
For more serious charges such as multiple DUI, felony DUI or vehicular manslaughter the penalties increase substantially.

Payment Plans are Available
Because some criminal defense matters can become very complicated, I understand that not all clients will be able to provide my full attorneyfee amount up-front. I am conscious of the economic needs of my clients. As such, in certain situations, I am willing to accept payments toward my total fee amount in order that potential clients can afford the kind of representation that I can offer.
