Straight answers!

I love how John always gives his take on a situation without sugar coating!! Whether it's good or bad, he'll tell you exactly what you're looking at. He looked at my case, gave me options, and straight out told me his thoughts on each one. It was SO reassuring for me, and this is only one of the m...any reasons why I recommend him to friends and family!

1 of the most prominant attorneys in Kansas!

John Rapp has been a friend of mine since middle school, just recently I was in need of a criminal attorney. I contacted 2 different attorneys and spoke with both. I went with John and was very happy I did! John went straight to work for me, without me ever being contacted again the case was dismisse...d "lack of prosecution" John is truly a go getter, and is eager to go to work for you. I have several other acquaintances that have used him as well, so far I personally don't have nor have ever heard a negative review! Thank you John for all your hard work :)

Above and Beyond

John made things super easy for me. I was not in the best of positions and he was able to work out an advantageous resolution. He explained this to me in normal terms throughout the whole process and his team was fantastic as well. Well worth the investment.

well worth the investment

Mr. Rapp was excellent in communicating to us our options, providing great information, and referring us to people in areas where he felt we could be served better by people with different areas of expertise. During a time of high stress Mr. Rapp made the situation much more tolerable and eased our m...inds!In the end the concerns about case were unfounded as he had assured us but between the initial time of the contact with law enforcement until the case was closed we were in good hands!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John Rapp is simply the "Go To Attorney" if you are charged with a crime in KS. If you are in a position that you actually need someone to find a way and fight to get you out of, this is the attorney to call. I have known John and worked cases with him for nearly 15 years and his willingness to GET RESULTS for his clients is unmatched. I now practice in Denver, CO and any time I am called or asked about a case in KS, I give John's information with a ringing endorsement and he has yet to let those folks down. If you have been charged with a crime in Wichita or anywhere in KS and need help, you need to call John Rapp."
