Q. Is it a conflict of interest if you retain a criminal lawyer who is also an Assistant District Attorney in same county?

December 26, 2012

A: I cannot imagine how an assistant district attorney would ever represent a person on a criminal charge in his county. Most, I think all, assistant district attorneys are full time employees and am confused how such an attorney is taking retained work. It certainly sounds like a conflict for the attorney to me. You should hash this out with your attorney immediately.

Q. Can one lose their rights to firearms in Kansas on Domestic Battery misdemeanor

December 26, 2012

A: WIthout a doubt. A conviction of a domestic battery will cause a person to lose his/her right to possess a firearm. A crime of domestic violence will cause a person to lose his/her right to possess a firearm under federal law.

Q. What does it cost to have a misdemeanor record expunged

December 26, 2012

A: It used to be free, but the legislature passed a bill last year setting a filing fee. That filing fee should be around one hundred dollars. You can file it yourself or hire an attorney to handle the paperwork.
