How much experience do we have? Attorney Carl Cornwell, one of the most highly respected criminal defense attorneys in Kansas, has handled more than 250 criminal trials alone. More than 50 were cases of homicide. Dionne Scherff, meanwhile, also has considerable experience and is a former prosecutor who spent years arguing for the prosecution.
We know how to pick a jury. An African-American or Hispanic charged with a crime shouldn't have to face an all-white jury. We work hard to ensure that the jury is truly made up of your peers, people who are more likely to understand your circumstances.
We know how to talk with a jury. With his considerable experience as a jury trial lawyer, Mr. Cornwell has developed ways to address a jury during trial. He is able to put himself in the juror's shoes and makes arguments that persuade the members to be fair to his clients.
Jury trials are necessary when prosecutors won't accept a reasonable plea deal. Mostly, they are needed to prove a client's innocence. As we all know, investigators and police officers are not perfect. They make mistakes. We work hard to find them and expose them at trial.
If you have a case that you believe will need a jury trial to succeed, contact the Olathe law firm of Cornwell & Scherff. We have the experience to win when a case goes all the way to the courtroom.
