My practice focuses on criminal defense at the local, state and federal level in Kansas and Missouri. I have extensive criminal jury trial experience ranging from drug offenses to serious sex crimes. I have successfully helped numerous clients fight their charges to jury verdict resulting in acquittals. I understand that facing a criminal charge can be one of the most stressful times in a person’s life. I am here to help guide you through the process and be your advocate. In addition to criminal defense, I also focus on collateral criminal issues like expungements and removal from the sex offender registry. These collateral issues can be a tremendous burden and I am always happy when I can help a client receive an expungement or be removed from the registry.

Knowledgeable and promptly
I had contacted Sheena for an expungement of my criminal case. She had answered me back in a timely manner. Answered all my questions. I hired her for my case had to wait a little bit for filing and scheduling a court date. But when the court date came Sheena made it easy and we got the expungement granted.

Exceptional work!
Sheena was above and beyond. She walked me through my defense and was intentionally efficient with our time. It was a very emotional time for me and she gave me clear cut information and quickly redirected me into the best paths of action. She gave frequent updates whenever I asked and was very prompt. I'd strongly recommend her to all my feiends and family for any criminal defense case.

Expungement
I reached out to Sheena’s office curious about having my record expunged. She was always quick to return my call, she took care of everything & was always kind, reassuring and professional. I do not live in Missouri, so I met her for the first time at the hearing, she came prepared and represented me well. My record was expunged, I cannot thank Sheena enough!

Thanks for the help.
Sheena is very professional, straight forward and to the point. No nonsense. Good at explaining your options, even for someone like me that does not understand the terminology. Very good at simplifying the legal jargon with your best interest in mind. Would have liked to see my case result in a misdemeanor. But you can only play the cards you are dealt. I believe it was handled prompt and professional from A-Z.

Sheena knows law.
Words cannot express how grateful I am that I came across Sheena and decided to hire her to help me out with situation that had been like a weight around my neck. I won’t write a long review and take up your time. Just know that Sheena knows what she is doing and treats you like an individual and not just another case. She is very detailed and keeps you in the loop on every aspect of the process. Don’t over think it and let Sheena do her thing. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Successful Expungement
Sheena came to my aid in a very difficult and confusing time in my life. She guided me through the expungement process with care and professionalism. Her soft touch and patience to explain the complexities of the expungement process was beyond helpful. Sheena does a fantastic job and would recommend her services to anyone who needs legal services.

Exceptional Criminal Defense Attorney!
Sheena is an exceptional attorney. She is professional and truly cares about her clients. She was always available to discuss all of our concerns, answer any questions whether they were small or big and very promptly. She makes sure that you understand what's going on with your case and most of all she follows through with what she says she is going to do. Sheena went above and beyond for us and we are very grateful. We are even more grateful for her kind, caring, compassionate and empathetic approach. Not only did she care about our situation from the legal perspective, she also showed a lot of humanity and caring from a personal perspective and we will always appreciate her for that. You will not be disappointed hiring her to represent you! We highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of an outstanding attorney who will fight for you all the way!

Professional, Affordable, Pleasure to work with
I hired Sheena for the expungement of multiple past criminal convictions. She returned my original inquiry within days, explained everything clear and concisely, and gave me a fair price up front. She answered all of my questions and let me know how the process would work what to expect. I had multiple cases in serval different jurisdictions and was able to resolve them all in a reasonable amount of time. She was always just a call or email away and was always friendly. I am completely satisfied. 5 stars.

Great Service
Hired Sheena to take over from a previously lacking attorney to handle a revocation hearing. She was always prompt and polite. Most importantly, she got the job done to my satisfaction at a more than fair price! I recommend her services to anyone in need. Thanks again Sheena!

Sheena Foye
Sheena Foye represented my son when he got in to trouble in Bourbon County. Since I was in another state, she took control and really helped us out. Not only did she drive 2 hours each way to represent him she got him the bests possible outcome for his situation. She was always available for any questions we had. She's definitely someone you want on your side. I would definitely recommend her.
