At The Swain Law Office, we understand the ramifications of Jessica's Law and how it takes all discretion away from judges and prosecutors. Because of this, we take a "no-holds-barred" and "leave no stone unturned" approach to defending clients in the Kansas City metropolitan area and throughout the state of Kansas whose cases now fall under the provisions of Jessica's Law.

Our attorneys will subpoena records such as medical examination results and mental health histories, and work with private investigators and others, to gather and document ANY evidence that could possibly be used to establish a defense for you or have the charges against you re-classified. And while no one can ever guarantee an outcome in court, if your case does go to trial, you can feel confident in our attorneys' proven trial skills and persuasiveness to protect your rights.
