Practice Areas Description
At the Law Firm of Cornwell & Cornwell, we offer comprehensive client support, keeping every client informed at every stage of the defense process. Our practice areas include:- Homicide
Our attorneys have tried numerous homicide cases and understand the thorough preparation and strategy required in every case. We have the knowledge, experience and advocacy skill to handle all types of homicide charges, including death penalty murder cases. Homicide charges are likely to result in a jury trial, in which a defendant's life itself may be on the line. Many criminal defense attorneys seek resolution through plea bargaining and negotiating with the judge, avoiding a trial on the merits. Cornwell & Cornwell does not shy away from the courtroom, anticipating the possibility of a jury trial from the beginning of every representation.
- Federal & State Drug Defense
Along with state health and safety codes, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates a wide variety of drug crimes, sometimes working independent of state authorities to conduct investigations and bring federal charges. Whether you have been charged with simple possession or trafficking, the charges against you may result in significant fines, probation terms, and even jail time. Drug offenses typically require a prosecutor to exhibit an uninterrupted chain of physical evidence -- our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation of the evidence against every client and have a keen eye for procedural defects warranting dismissal or exclusion of evidence.
- DUI
In Kansas, driving under the influence (DUI) charges carry stiff penalties which can be enhanced if the defendant refuses a breath test or has prior DUI convictions. Similarly, in Missouri, being arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) implicates both criminal and administrative laws, as your driver's license will be suspended without prompt action, along with significant criminal penalties upon conviction. Many of the penalties associated with these charges are at the discretion of the judge hearing your case. As experienced defense attorneys who regularly handle DUI/DWI charges, we can help minimize the impact of a DUI arrest or conviction on your personal and professional life.
- Federal & State Sex Crime Defense
Our attorneys have the experience needed to mitigate this impact and seek the most favorable result possible. State sex offenses vary from abuse and molestation to more serious crimes, such as sexual assault or rape. Certain internet-related offenses, including the distribution of child pornography, may fall under federal regulation and carry even more significant penalties. Many states also require convicted sex offenders to publicly register their names and addresses with the state. The impact of a sex offense charge can be devastating for your personal and professional life, even if you are not convicted.
- Federal White Collar Defense
At Cornwell & Cornwell, we regularly represent clients accused of federal fraud charges, providing a level of expertise and courtroom exposure essential to successfully defending against these charges. Fraud-related charges under federal law, including financial crimes regulated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), carry severe penalties and potential federal prison sentencing. We have handled a wide range of charges, including securities fraud, mortgage fraud, and embezzlement. Many criminal defense lawyers focus primarily on state crimes, lacking the requisite legal knowledge and experience to handle these complex matters.
- Other Crimes
While we focus mainly on serious criminal charges and complex criminal matters, our attorneys are well-equipped to handle any felony or misdemeanor charge. Cornwell & Cornwell has handled a wide variety of criminal charges, including assault, burglary, and weapons crimes. We can help you seek dismissal, acquittal, or a reduced sentence for criminal charges in Kansas and Missouri courts, as well as many federal district courts throughout the nation. Our attorneys have a keen eye for exposing constitutional violations that may preclude the prosecution from obtaining a conviction.
