Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Potential Penalties for a Rape Conviction in Kansas?
Kansas law imposes significant penalties for rape convictions, which can include lengthy prison sentences, mandatory registration as a sex offender, and possible fines. The state categorizes rape as a Level 1 person felony, which is among the most severe classifications under the state's sentencing grid. The severity of the penalty typically depends on the case specifics, such as the nature of the offense and prior criminal history. Our role at Gigstad Law Office, LLC is to mitigate these penalties by presenting a strong defense, striving for case reductions or alternative sentencing options where possible.

By collaborating with our professional network, we may consult with specialists to gain insights that bolster our defense. Our objective is always to protect your rights and build a case aimed at minimizing legal repercussions.
Can the Charges Be Dropped or Reduced?
While no attorney can guarantee results, charges may be reduced or dismissed based on several factors, including evidence strength, procedural errors, or successful negotiations. Our commitment is to explore every legal avenue and keep you informed about your case’s status and any developments that may influence it.
The prospect of reducing charges often hinges on pre-trial motions and negotiations. We assess each case for evidentiary weaknesses that could lead to dismissals or lesser charges. Additionally, alternative dispute resolutions or diversion programs in Kansas may be available in specific circumstances, providing pathways to minimize the impact of charges.
