Overland Park Drug Crime Defense Attorney

Possession, Trafficking, Distribution, Cultivation

When someone is arrested for a drug crime, the balance of power is very uneven. The weight of the state or federal government applied full force against one individual can be overwhelming. People in this position can make mistakes because very often they don't know and fully understand their rights. Many people think that if they just give a good explanation to an officer or a prosecutor no further action will be taken. This is simply not true. It takes an Overland Park criminal defense attorney who knows the laws and knows how to aggressively defend a client to successfully fight back. You need to know your best opportunities for a defense in any drug crime accusation.

Drug Crime Lawyer in Overland Park

Drug crimes include possession, possession with intent, cultivation, manufacturing, sales, distribution, and trafficking.

State prosecutions usually concern smaller amounts of drugs, such as:

  • Heroin
  • Ecstasy
  • PCP
  • Marijuana
  • Prescription drugs
  • Crack
  • Cocaine
  • Crystal Meth, Methamphetamines

Almost all drug charges are felonies, except for very small amounts of marijuana. Conviction can result in a long prison sentence, large fines, and other severe penalties whether the accused is charged as an adult or a juvenile. Additional consequences include a permanent criminal record which can affect your credit, future education opportunities, employment opportunities, and other areas of your life. Having a drug crime defense lawyer on your side that is determined to pursue a successful outcome can make a difference.

By working with a determined criminal defense lawyer while a case is still in the investigation stage there could be an opportunity to prevent any charges from being filed. Take the time to discuss your defense strategy with Attorney Robert C. Gigstad.

Testimonials

Client-Centered Legal Representation
    "Would Highly Recommend Robert to Others"
    I was facing a second DUI and was very much dreading the impact this would make on my professional career and near future goals. Robert walked me through each part of the process and made sure I understood what to expect through the court process. He was very professional and made sure that no stone was turned. The end result, unbelievably was my charges were all dismissed. He was able to find an important information that lead to the dismissal. Would highly recommend Robert to others.
    Happy Client
    "He Was Successful in Attaining That Goal!"
    Mr. Gigstad was very upfront and accessible to us and performed his duties with a positive outcome for all parties. We had a game plan going into this venture and he was successful in attaining that goal. He represented both myself and my son and was very fair on his fees.

    "Robert Gigstad Was Extremely Helpful and Thorough in Handling My Case"
    I got an MIP and Fake ID charge in Lawrence and Robert Gigstad was extremely helpful and thorough in handling my case. He always got back to me in a timely manner and kept me informed throughout the whole process, I got diversion for both charges so they will not be on my permanent record.

    Bill
    "Robert Was Extremely Helpful and Great to Work With!"
    My dad has used Robert for several moving violations in the past and recommended that I give him a call for a speeding ticket of my own. Robert was extremely helpful and great to work with. He successfully got my speeding ticket reduced to a non moving violation.
    Happy Client
    "I Always Felt "in the Loop""
    Robert was extremely responsive from day one - returning my email contact request almost immediately. He walked me through the process and answered all my questions honestly and promptly. I always felt "in the loop". I originally contacted him because he was the only Johnson County attorney I found that had listed in his advertisement, expungement, as a service he provided. Robert assisted me in doing something I didn't know was possible - finally putting a bad decision I made 14 years ago behind me. Although I appreciated his professional and respectful approach to his work, I hope I never need his services again. If I do however, I would not hesitate to call him.
