Our firm is dedicated to the sole goal of providing you the best possible defense.  Our defense team works hard to create, and maintain, a reputation for professional excellence through our successful criminal defense of individuals challenged by difficult circumstances just like you are in.

Our Managing Principal, Bruce Sloan (profile below), fully understands the value of pre-trial investigation, pre-trial motion practice, and extensive trial preparation in order to separate facts from fiction.  With our firm, you have a veteran defense attorney beside you in court at every critical hearing, as well as trial, if necessary. 

We take your case, and every case we accept, extremely seriously and believe in treating you exactly the same way we would want our loved ones treated!  We understand the significance of the problems and struggles you and your family are going through as a result of the charges levied against you. 

We evaluate every weak link, every witness, every piece of circumstantial evidence, every constitutional shortfall in the prosecutor's case against you to get the leverage we need to win the case at trial, or to get a better “Plea Agreement” for you. We know that when you are charged with any criminal wrongdoing, even if its minor, your life, your family, your reputation, your future and your liberty is on the line.

Some people believe that if the government accuses you, you must have done something wrong.  Our firm knows that accusations do not always equate to guilt and we're not in the business of passing judgment.  We are retained to present the facts and you in the very best possible light.

We understand that false allegations, shoddy investigations, vindictive spouses or lovers can all contribute to wrongful arrests and charges.  Unfortunately, these are all common situations that result in charges being incorrectly filed.  Our defense team brings perjured testimony to light and works to suppress tainted evidence.  Unfortunately, law enforcement sometimes overlooks the evidence pointing toward your innocence.  That is why our defense team works hard to gather evidence to establish your innocence.

If you have been accused of a crime in Missouri, do not take anything for granted.  The government has immense resources, both in terms of law enforcement personnel as well as money to spend on putting you in jail or prison or damaging your reputation and clean record.  You have our skills, knowledge, experience, and research during every step in the legal process to “level the playing field”.  Just give us a call.  We can help.

Managing Counsel – Bruce Sloan, Esq.

Mr. Sloan graduated from Baylor University in 1982 with numerous academic honors and Washington University Law School (St. Louis) in 1989 with academic honors.  Mr. Sloan began specializing as a criminal defense attorney in 1989 and has handled 1,000's of state and municipal criminal cases throughout Missouri and Kansas since that time. 

There are no substitutes for an exceptional attorney's experience, ability and time. So select an attorney you can trust with your life because life in a jail or penitentiary is not the same quality as a life of freedom.  When you retain the services of our firm, an experienced attorney will provide you a personal cell phone number so that you can deal directly with an attorney unless they are in court.  If our firm accepts your case, you and your case become an important part of our lives.  Mr. Sloan and other members of your defense team strive to keep you abreast of every development in your case.

If Mr. Sloan accepts your case, we will immediately request and review “Discovery” materials from the prosecuting agency and consult with you to set priorities for the defense investigation before witnesses and favorable evidence “disappears”.  The outcome of your case is sometimes determined by the investigation that is conducted by defense investigators within a few weeks of the alleged crime.  If you are incarcerated, we immediately file bond reduction motions and help your family make bail arrangements with the primary objective being to get you released with a “Personal Recognizance” or “Personal Surety” bond arrangement to save you the expense of bail bond fees.  Mr. Sloan knows that your money is better spent on your defense.

After thoroughly analysing the state or municipality's case, Mr. Sloan will proceed to discover and pick apart the “weakest links” in the case.  Your defense team will proceed to file as many legitimate motions as the Constitution and federal and state statutory and case laws will justify.  Your defense will thoroughly prepare your case and zealously present it to the prosecutor, court and jury if necessary.
