Prosecutorial Achievements
I have nearly 30 years of experience as a state and federal prosecutor.
I have worked with all major state and federal law enforcement agencies in Kansas and Missouri. As a state prosecutor, I have worked in one smaller and three urban Kansas counties. I worked as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Western District of Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri, and the District of Kansas, including Kansas City, Kansas, Topeka, and Wichita.
I have experience prosecuting all forms and types of state and federal crimes including homicides. I have lengthy jury trial experience. I know how to work cooperatively with law enforcement, judges, victims, and the public.
I also believe in working professionally and effectively with defense attorneys. I know what it is like to be a criminal defense attorney. I was a private attorney early in my career and for several years later in Lawrence, Kansas.
My experience is currently very necessary to repair relationships with law enforcement, courts, victims, and defense counsel. The public will benefit from having a prosecutorial professional as a District Attorney.
