Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the state have to file criminal charges in Missouri or Kansas?

It depends on the offense. In Missouri, prosecutors generally have three years to file felony charges and one year for misdemeanors under RSMo 556.036. Kansas generally allows five years under K.S.A. 21-5107. Serious crimes such as murder have no time limit in either state, and some sex offenses have extended or no deadlines.

How much does it cost to hire Devkota Law Firm for a criminal case?

Fees depend on the charge, the court, and how complex the case is. A misdemeanor typically costs less to defend than a felony that may go to trial. Your first consultation is free, and the firm explains its fee upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.

What if I'm innocent but have already been charged?

A charge is only an accusation. The prosecution must prove every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt, and you don't have to prove your innocence. A defense attorney can challenge the evidence, question witnesses, expose unlawful searches or stops, and push for dismissal or an acquittal at trial.

How long will my criminal case take?

Many misdemeanor cases resolve within a few weeks to a few months. Felony cases often take several months to a year or longer, especially if they involve lab testing, suppression motions, or a jury trial. You have a right to a speedy trial, and your attorney can advise whether asserting it helps your defense.

What types of criminal charges does Devkota Law Firm handle?

Devkota Law Firm defends clients charged with DWI and DUI, drug possession, marijuana offenses, domestic violence, sexual assault, theft, gun and weapons charges, and solicitation. The firm also represents students facing criminal charges alongside school disciplinary proceedings. It handles both misdemeanor and felony cases in Missouri and Kansas courts.

Does Devkota Law Firm help Spanish-speaking clients facing criminal charges?

Yes. Devkota Law Firm serves Spanish-speaking clients throughout Missouri and Kansas, with information available in Spanish on the website. Understanding your charges, your rights, and your options is essential in a criminal case, and language shouldn't stand in the way of a strong defense.
