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.

"I Would Recommend Him to Anyone Facing a Bad Situation like I Had"Mr. Gigstad helped me with my DUI. Sadly this wasn't my first time in need of a lawyer, but I liked Mr. Gigstad a lot more than my previous lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone facing a bad situation like I had.Jarrod

"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

"Friendly, Reliable, and Professional"Chris was great! I was involved in a car accident at a stop light and was given a ticket for following too close. The girl I hit even said it wasn't my fault, however I was still given a citation. I contacted Chris to help me get my ticket reduced to a non-moving violation after several people told me it couldn't be done since I was involved in an accident. I provided Chris with all the details of the accident and he said he would take care of it. After a few exchanged emails, Chris attended my court date and got the job done! For a small fee, my ticket was reduced to a non-moving violation. I would encourage anyone to use Chris' services because he was friendly, reliable, and professional.Happy 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
