About Sheena
Biography
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 and drug 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.

Sheena did an excellent job working on my case and was always organized and on time. Sheena also made my case personal to her and was determined to fight for Justice as much as me and my family did and forever we will always thank her.

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!
