DUI

The DUI attorneys in our Wichita, Topeka and Lawrence offices defend state and municipal DUI and DWI prosecutions. Our lawyers have represented hundreds of individuals charged with felony and misdemeanor driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated.

Criminal Defense

Perhaps the most critical decision you make when charged with a crime is who to hire as your criminal defense attorney. You need a lawyer who you can trust to aggressively defend the charges and evaluate all defenses.

Federal Crimes

We have defended indictments for mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, medicare and medicaid fraud, securities fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and income tax evasion.

Computer Crimes

Federal agents and local police frequently begin investigations by seizing home and business computers. As soon as your home or business computer is seized, you need an attorney who knows computer forensics.

Civil Forfeiture

Police assume that a large amount of cash means that drugs are somehow involved and can seize the cash even when there is no hard evidence of a connection to drug trafficking.

Litigation

When your business, livelihood or reputation is on the line, you want an experienced advocate fighting for you.

Family Law & Divorce

When your financial future and your relationship with your children are at stake, you need our experienced divorce and family law attorneys to help you settle your life.

Professional Discipline

When your license, livelihood, and reputation are on the line, you need professional licensing attorneys who are experienced and skilled in litigating before regulatory boards and agencies.

Employment Law

The skilled attorneys at Joseph Hollander & Craft LLC will help you develop effective employment policies and procedures and give you the tools to implement them.

Military Administrative

We represent active duty service members involved in adverse administrative actions. Our firm is located in central Kansas-within driving distance of many Army and Air Force military installations.
