Firm Information
Overview
When you're facing major criminal charges, you don't want an attorney who will look for the easiest way out. With Carl E. Cornwell Attorney At Law, you get a battle-tested criminal defense attorney who has been in the trenches fighting in big cases.
Our law firm is led by Carl Cornwell, one of the most well-known criminal defense lawyers in the Kansas City area. He alone has handled more than 250 criminal trials, including more than 50 homicide cases, in a career spanning three decades. He has worked federal criminal cases as far away as Puerto Rico and helped established the "Battered Woman's Syndrome" defense in Kansas.
He is joined by Dionne Scherff, a former prosecutor who has turned her legal efforts to criminal defense law. That experience means she knows what prosecutors are supposed to do, and what they are not.
Our practice is aggressive in supporting our clients rights. Our criminal defense attorneys investigate each situation quickly and thoroughly. We will then determine the best option: settle quickly or go to jury trial.
When you're looking for a top-notch defense lawyer with the skills to fight your criminal charge, contact the Kansas City law firm of Carl E. Cornwell Attorney At Law. Attorneys get better at their craft as they gain experience. Our number of jury trials gives us that experience.
