What Happens After an Accusation in Overland Park
An investigation may begin before any charges are filed. Law enforcement, whether from the Overland Park Police Department or the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, may contact you directly to ask questions. Those statements can be used as evidence. Don’t speak with investigators without an attorney present.
After gathering evidence, the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office decides whether to file charges. From the start of an investigation through trial or a negotiated resolution, cases often span several months depending on evidence complexity and court scheduling. The Johnson County District Court in Olathe has jurisdiction over felony sex offenses committed throughout the county, including in Overland Park, Leawood, Lenexa, Prairie Village, and Shawnee.
When you contact Gigstad Law Office, LLC, we start with a free consultation to understand your situation. We can explain what the process looks like, what to expect at each stage, and what your options are. From that first call through case resolution, we keep you informed.

Client-Centered Legal Representation

"Very Respectful and Understanding Throughout the Process"I contacted Gigstad Law Office when I found myself being charged with a DUI in the state of Kansas. Although I've used other lawyers in the past for other types of legal situations, I've found, much to my disappointment, that they can often be flaky, or lacking in timely communication and responsiveness. I found that Mr. Gigstad was just the opposite. His rates are reasonable, he didn't drop the ball when I needed immediate legal advice, and was very respectful and understanding throughout the process. I would definitely recommend his services.DUI Client

"He will get the job done..."Robert done a great job with my speeding ticket situation. Was very upfront and honest with cost and what I would need to do to get the ticket handle. I would recommend him for any legal issues. He will get the job done...Happy Client

"I Would Highly Recommend Giving Robert a Call"Robert was very easy to work with. He took care of my speeding ticket for a very reasonable fee and had the ticket amended down to a non-moving violation so no points against my drivers license or insurance rate increases. If you have a speeding ticket in the KC area that needs to be dealt with, I would highly recommend giving Robert a call.Mat

"Robert Assisted Me in Doing Something I Didn't Know Was Possible"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.DUI Client

"I Would Recommend Him to Anyone!"Robert attended all of my court dates and got everything in order for me to do a diversion. In addition, he was able to get my drivers license case dropped (the part I was really dreading). He provided me with good advice on what to do and all the steps needed to move forward. He was easy to get a hold of through the entire process and great to work with. I would recommend him to anyone!Happy Client

"Robert Was Extremely Helpful and Efficient in the Way He Handled My Case"Robert was extremely helpful and efficient in the way he handled my case. Due to his hardwork and persistence he was able to get my DUI dismissed and I was only charged with a traffic violation. I highly recommend his services to anyone. BillyBilly

"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.DWI Client
