Invest Wisely in Representation

When choosing a lawyer, remember Ben Franklin’s advice: "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” Price should not be your only barometer, but it is an important consideration. Lawyers are not interchangeable. Use caution with whom you invest your future.

Experience You Can Trust in Court

 The true measure of a trial lawyer, the one that cannot be faked, is actual jury trial experience. Mr. Angles has extensive jury trial experience in federal and state court. He  is happy to share that experience with you and will apply the lessons  learned, and the reputation  built, to your defense.

Testimonials

"I cannot say enough about how wonderful of an attorney Chris is! Ten stars!!! Professionalism, respect, and very timely responses were always the standard. This is often not the case with other attorneys or big firms where you get lost in the shuffle. The case in question took a long time, well over a year to resolve. He was diligent in all his correspondence and actions. I would not hesitate to refer Chris to anyone! Thank you very much Chris for all your help."

" I can't recommend Chris highly enough! He is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his clients. Chris handled the case with professionalism, confidence, and compassion. His attention to detail, strategic thinking, and unwavering dedication made a stressful situation so much more manageable. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, we achieved a fantastic outcome."

"I was extremely nervous in having to look for an attorney and Chris quickly calmed all those nerves. He was kind. Straight to the point. Professionally handled my case and was extremely communicative and proactive in the process. I highly recommend the services of Chris Angles.

" Chris is a great attorney. I recently needed the help of an attorney and I'm extremely glad I found Chris. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If I had a question about something he would get back to me right away and if he didn't know the answer he took the time out of his day to research it and get back to me with a detailed answer. I can't thank him enough for his help. I wouldn't recommend any other attorney to anyone."

" This attorney is one of the best, if not THE best, criminal defense trial attorneys that I have ever known. I recently had the experience of referring a client to this attorney when it became apparent that I would not have the time, or resources, to dedicate to a matter that had become complex as my representation progressed...The individual retained Mr. Angles. I was able to monitor the representation from a distance as he pressed forward in a relentless manner toward an amazing result for this individual. For those of you that don’t know me, I have taken over 1000 cases to trial in my 35 plus years of law practice. I am not easily impressed. I am here to tell you that Chris Angles is a truly wonderful attorney; and I congratulate him on his success. Hats off to you Chris Angles; and keep up the great work!"

I was a Client for Chris a few weeks ago and he did excellent work. I was trying to determine the best choice on who to represent me and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. Right when I left his office I started receiving notifications on his quick work. He takes pride and works hard and fast! Very knowledgeable and gives great advice, will definitely recommend to someone in need.

Person getting a DUI or DWI

DUI/DWI

A DUI or DWI isn’t just another traffic ticket—it’s today’s scarlet letter: the Government branding another drunk driver.  A DUI conviction is a threat to everything you value. A conviction can jeopardize professional licenses and public image, while straining relationships and putting your future at risk. But there’s hope: DUI accusations are often defensible to a trained eye, and the prosecution’s case isn’t as airtight as they want you to believe. With decades of targeted training and results in DUI law, Mr. Angles deploys advanced and creative defense strategies to minimize fallout, fight for your acquittal, and keep your life intact.  But the clock is ticking.  Call today to schedule a consultation.

Christopher J. Angles Focus KC Mock Trials

KC's only AV-rated trial lawyer-owned and operated mock trial and focus group company. In business since 2016, we have recently re-launched with the latest video and audio technology for a superior product.

Mr. Angles has always looked for ways to strengthen his practice, which led him early on to explore the value of pre-trial focus groups. He quickly discovered how much insight mock trials provide, while recognizing the problem of confirmation bias when attorneys conduct their own mock trials. After purchasing his office building in 2013, he began implementing focus groups for his own cases, and that experience gave rise to Focus KC. At that time, there were very few resources in the region dedicated to trial-focused research. To better understand what other attorneys needed, he began interviewing other trial lawyers, which laid the foundation for Focus KC, LLC. Since 2016, Focus KC, LLC has continued to grow, providing in-depth mock trial and focus group studies designed specifically for civil and criminal defense trial lawyers.
