Cameron Cooper, DUI and DWI Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
John has a few decades of experience in criminal defense, DWI, and traffic matters. He knows how to get results in all state and municipal courts in the Kansas City area. If you talk to John about your problem, he absolutely will know what you need. He and I have worked opposite each other on DWI matters, but now work cooperatively on the same side, so now I have a greater understanding of the depth of experience that he brings to the table, and exactly why everyone in the area respects him so highly. I have never met anyone who knows him who couldn’t say good things about him. You want John on your case.
Joshua Dale, Probate Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
