Criminal Lawyer

The Law Office of Robert A Thompson in Salina handles criminal defense and advises people on their legal rights when they face a criminal charge. The practice also takes civil litigation and wills and estates matters, but criminal defense is the core of the work.

Robert Thompson advises clients to stay silent and ask for an attorney before speaking with police, since prosecutors work to build cases against people. Outcomes depend on factors such as prior convictions, the severity of the charge and the evidence, and diversion programs or suspended sentences may be options for first-time offenders. Free consultations are offered by phone. The office serves north central Kansas and is open on weekdays, closed on weekends.
