Paul Cramm Criminal Defense Attorney is the BEST in Kansas City

I was in desperate need of a defense attorney for my 22 yr. old son who was falsely accused. I've never been through anything like this before and needed to hire someone who knows the law and has a passion to serve his clients. I was really at a loss of who to hire to fight for us because every la...w firm is "the best". So I just began reading testimonials. Paul Cramm didn't have quantity (at the time of this post) but he definitely had quality testimonies. His clients testimonials spoke loud and clear so we chose Paul Cramm to fight for for us. I was impressed at how much time he invested and devoted to us. He was always there with fast response through multiple channels (email, text, phone calls) but most of all, he did all the work load himself. We never spoke with anyone else, ONLY Paul. When he says, "I'll represent you", he's there from start to even after it's all over. During court, he argued with the prosecutor about the interpretation of the law. Had Paul Cramm not been in our corner to uphold the meaning, interpretation, and purpose for the law, my son would have had his life ruined for the unforeseeable future. This is something we could not have done on our own. My son is now hired again and working a new job thanks to Paul. So happy with the outcome of the trial and extremely relieved. Please give Paul Cramm a chance to do the same for you. ~Pauly P

I Recommend Attorney Paul Cramm Without Hesitation and With Full Confidence

I cannot express in words the gratitude and profound respect I have for attorney Paul Cramm. Hiring Paul to represent me in my case was one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life. I will forever relive the moment I found out the disposition in my case. Paul represented me in an appeal befor...e the Kansas Court of Appeals. The trial court had handed down a sentence that would have cost me years of my life. Thanks to Paul's impeccable legal skills, his extreme knowledge, unique precision, pursuit of justice and complete dedication, I have been completely exonerated. I feel like I have been handed my life back and can breathe again. I will forever be grateful to attorney Paul Cramm. From the very beginning he took the time to talk to me for hours upon hours and guided me through each step of the process. If you are in need of the very best legal representation possible, look no further. i recommend attorney Paul Cramm without hesitation and with full confidence. Thank you Paul for giving me my life back!!!

Dropped/Dismissed charges thanks to Paul!!

Hiring Paul was by far the best decision I could have ever made. After an exhaustive search researching and evaluating my options and trying to find a competent lawyer to handle my case, I contacted Paul's office. When accusations arise causing a situation that can be detrimental for decades of you...r life, you want a specialist that handles only these types of cases, not just a run of the mill lawyer that is a "Jack of many trades rather than a master of one." And that is exactly what Paul is...a master of his trade!! Paul and Julie's personability, genuine care, and over the top care for their clients is so far above all others that you are doing yourself an injustice by not placing your freedom in their hands. Having your lawyers personal cell, 100% attention to detail, and expertise are the most important thing when handling this type of case. Most lawyers are concerned with how many hours they can get paid for your case and how much they have to contribute to your case, however, this is the difference between Paul and all other lawyers. You truly pay for what you get in this world and there are none that I have ever come across better than Paul. I am blessed that he was in my corner and can rightfully state that all charges were dropped/dismissed thanks to the hard work and intuitive nature of Paul Cramm. I would like to thank you again Paul and Julie for all of your hard work and personalized attention in my case, as it has been a blessing working with you! Thank you, Chris

Treated me like a life long friend

Paul held my hand tightly as if he were my own brother as the judge read the first not guilty verdict from the jury. Paul's tears actually arrived before my own as the judge read the next 5 not guilty verdicts. We respectfully, quietly and tearfully celebrated that the prayers for truth and justice w...ere answered. Paul and Julie were this sincere and this invested from the day we met them. They provided constant communication, always responding to questions (and there were many) the same day. They went beyond simply performing their required tasks well, and relationally invested in me, my family and my friends in a way that brought great comfort every time we communicated. People whom I had considered friends had become my accusers, and their treatment during this circumstance was important to me. One of the reasons I chose Paul for this case was his very high level of respect for people and his amazing ability to remain honoring as he patiently dissected and revealed the details of this case. While I am confident Paul could have presented my defense and ended this case with a not guilty verdict much sooner than we did, Paul instead listened to my desire to use the trial as an opportunity for everyone to fully understand the real issues and causes of the false accusations against me. Paul included expert witnesses to provide some of the details of how these false claims came about. The county used a team of 3 including the deputy district attorney to research and present their case. Their combined 50 years of practicing law coupled with nearly 9 months of preparing could not overcome Paul's ability to calmly, patiently almost surgically reveal the truth. In fact that may be one of the main keys to Paul's success - TRUTH. If you ever end up in a circumstance that requires this kind of help you can absolutely trust that Paul will see your true worth and invest every skill he has in reminding you and the world of the importance of justice.
