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.
