Practice areas

Mr. Gorney is a Wichita native. Originally a professional journalist, he successfully translated those reporting skills into effectively trial advocacy skills to articulate his client's stories in court. He firmly believes the first step in resolving any case is by listening carefully to truly understand what is at issue. Mr. Gorney learned the value of hard work, commitment, and loyalty from his family. Having spent more than five years as a criminal defense practitioner, he learned the practice of law requires meticulous, detailed work to achieve positive results. As such, he melds thorough preparation with zealous courtroom advocacy when representing clients.

Mr. Gorney is baseball fan who can often be found watching his favorite team, the Kansas City Royals. He is also a proud member of the Delta Chi Fraternity which he joined as an undergraduate at Kansas State University and remains actively involved with in numerous ways at the local, regional, and international levels.

Matthew Gorney did zero research on appellate case law on intent for a misdemeanor. His motion to dismiss completely missed on subject matter and Chief Judge David Ricke even noted in his opinion that the Wilbanks v. State case dealt with the necessity of sufficient factual information presented to a magistrate to make an independent finding of probable cause before a warrant is issued. Judge David Ricke stated I was arrested on probable cause a short time later after the alleged incident and not pursuant to a formal arrest warrant per K.S.A. 22-2402. Mr. Gorney was emphatic about having a jury trial and stated I would be found guilty by a bench trial. I decided to retain more qualified counsel and I was acquitted before a bench trial where a jury trial I would have been found guilty because, Judge David Ricke is more in tune with the relevant case law and intricacies and elements involved in the structure of a given statute. Mr. Gorney nickel and dimed me for over $6000.00 and in the end the State completely failed to meet their burden of proof and the arrest and complaint was baseless.
