Paul Cramm is the attorney you need

Paul Cramm is very good at what he does, which is representing people facing serious legal problems and working for the best possible outcome. He is knowledgeable and adept at navigating the legal process. He is widely known and respected in the legal community. A person staring down serious legal c...harges that could result in potentially many years in prison needs good representation and that is not going to come cheap. This is one case where you totally get what you pay for. He works very hard for his clients and earns every cent of his fee. He is straightforward and sticks by his word. He will let you know what you are dealing with from the start with no surprises later. I don’t believe there is anyone who could get better results. KK

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!!!

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.

Verdict: Not Guilty !!!!

We hired Paul Cramm for us after asking around for the best lawyer for an off-grid case. His name came up often. I called and we talked initially for quite some time. During that call he explained the good and bad of this type of case as well as a realistic viewpoint, i.e.: what could be the worst sc...enario and the best scenario. We met with him in his office for a couple of hours going over the details of the case, how he would proceed, his expectations and his first reading of the case notes. Again, he was not negative or positive, just realistic yet hopeful that we could get a Not Guilty from the jury. Paul was very good with his communication, both via email, phone calls and text. He kept us informed every step of the way (which consisted of a length of over nine months). We always knew what was happening at each development. Paul’s knowledge of the law, specifically this type of case, was extremely comforting and encouraging as he could bring other case aspects into this one. He was also very smart and discerning as to what and what could not be brought to the juror’s attention. In addition, his local knowledge came to be very helpful, local laws, the judges involved, the local court system, the demographics of the county and other lawyers that might be involved in the case. It was obvious, when we were around him at the courthouse, that he was well respected in the legal community. We also noticed that he had some smart mentors that were helping him through the case. He would email, text or call them from time to time to get insights that ended up being an affirmation of the direction he was proceeding. In the trial, itself, which took, five days, his cross examination was deliberate and piercing while being respectful of the witness(s). His closing was terrific as he continued to hammer away at the two sides of the jurors thinking: Is this doubtful? Or truthful? And…Is there any Reasonable Doubt in their minds? If so, they must return a verdict of Not Guilty. As it turned out, the case ended in an 11-1 Not Guilty verdict, which the DA’s office then decided not to re-trial. The verdict reached was not by any legal shenanigans or trickery on Paul’s part to get this verdict. He just took the “evidence” and showed, piece by piece and witness by witness, that there was Reasonable Doubt to all the allegations thus, the only choice they had was to return a verdict of Not Guilty. We would highly recommend Paul Cramm as a defense attorney. We found that he brought considerable experience, pathos, smarts, knowledge and compassion.
