Why Hire Our Firm?
Specialized Experience & Personal Care
Our lawyers have more than 60 combined years of legal practice. Of those 60 years, 24 of those years were spent as Assistant District Attorneys in Johnson County, Kansas and all were spent in the practice of criminal law. We have tried cases in municipal and district courts throughout Kansas as well as federal courts in both Missouri and Kansas. Located adjacent to the Johnson County Courthouse, our attorneys appear in court multiple times a day throughout the year. We also regularly appear in all municipalities throughout Johnson County and travel throughout the state of Kansas. We have represented clients as far west as Hays, Kansas and in the neighboring counties of Franklin, Linn, Miami, Douglas, Wyandotte and Shawnee.
Throughout our years of experience, we have accumulated a great deal of insight into the ways in which prosecutors handle various crimes. We have also developed strong specializations in certain areas of law that we utilize to meet the unique needs of our clients. In fact, clients with a specific type of offense are paired with the attorney who possesses the most experience and proficiency in that particular class of criminal offense.
Each Client That Comes Through Our Doors is Represented By One of the Founding Partners of Garretson & Toth, LLC.
Proven Defense Strategies
Having tried well over 100 jury trials in district and federal courts, our legal team has demonstrated that there are no legal challenges to which we will back down. At Garretson & Toth, LLC, we take pride in the fact that we are not exclusively "plea lawyers". While the vast majority of criminal cases are resolved short of trial and strong negotiation skills are a must, far too many attorneys will jump at the first proposed plea offer and sell it to their clients
This is not what our firm does. Our clients can be confident that if a case results in a plea, every possible alternative was thoroughly vetted and the terms of the compromise were derived from extensive negotiation. The right to a trial by jury is a powerful tool in capable hands, and our firm knows how to effectively fight in court.
