Attorney Carl E. Cornwell has 31 years of experience practicing criminal defense. He's represented thousands of clients – including high profile cases that received intense media coverage. He has taken over 250 cases to trial, which is more than most attorneys do in a lifetime.
Handling state and federal charges, his work has taken him across the nation. He handled the case that set the precedent establishing the "Battered Woman's Syndrome" defense in Kansas.
Our other partner, attorney Dionne Scherff, has practiced for 15 years, many of which were spent as a Public Prosecutor for Wyandotte and Johnson Counties. Now emphasizing juvenile crimes, she helps defendants turn criminal charges into constructive life experiences.
Drug Charges - Sex Offenses / Electronic Solicitation - White Collar … We Handle Crimes of All Kinds
Our criminal defense practice areas encompass a wide range of crimes. We can handle the cases that make prosecutors fight hardest: we're represented over 100 murder suspects, and we represent individuals accused of sex crimes and other charges that carry a strong social stigma.
Whatever charges you're facing, our attorneys have the experience and dedication it takes to mount the strongest possible defense.
Se Habla Español!
As our receptionist is fluent in Spanish, the "language barrier" does not pose a problem for our Hispanic clientele. Language will not get in the way of hiring an accomplished attorney at our firm.
