Wichita Criminal Defense Attorney
Former prosecutor defending clients in Wichita and Sedgwick County
Criminal Charges Can Change Your Future. Your Defense Should Begin Immediately.
Being arrested or charged with a crime can be one of the most stressful experiences of your life. Whether you’re facing a DUI, traffic offense, protection from abuse (PFA) order, misdemeanor, felony, or other charge, the decisions you make in the first few days can affect your freedom, license, job, and record for years.
At Bragg Law, I represent individuals throughout Wichita, Sedgwick County, and surrounding Kansas communities. Every client receives personal attention, the presumption of innocence, and aggressive defense from a former prosecutor who knows how the other side builds cases.
Before opening Bragg Law, I served as an Assistant District Attorney in Sedgwick County.
I prosecuted hundreds of criminal and traffic cases, appeared in court nearly every day, negotiated pleas, conducted trials, argued motions, and worked directly with law enforcement and judges. I now use that inside knowledge to defend you.
When your freedom, reputation, career, and family are on the line, experience inside the system matters.

How Bragg Law Prepares Every Case
No two cases are the same. My approach starts with a thorough investigation, not just accepting the police report.
Key Steps Often Include:
Reviewing all discovery and police reports
Examining body-worn camera and other video footage
Evaluating the legality of searches, seizures, and arrests
Identifying constitutional violations or procedural errors
Interviewing witnesses and gathering defense evidence
Negotiating aggressively with prosecutors
Filing pretrial motions to suppress evidence or dismiss chargess
Preparing every case as if it will go to trial
Preparation creates leverage.
Many cases resolve favorably through skilled negotiation; others require strong trial advocacy.
Your Questions, Answered
-
Even first-time or “minor” charges like DUI, traffic violations, or PFAs can lead to jail time, fines, license suspension, probation, job loss, or a permanent record.
Early representation often uncovers defenses or diversion options that protect your future.
-
In most situations, politely invoke your right to remain silent and request an attorney. Statements made early can be used against you.
Let me handle communications with law enforcement and prosecutors.
-
Stay silent beyond basic identification, do not perform further tests without advice, and contact an attorney right away.
Evidence like breath results can be challenged, and early action preserves options for diversion or reduction.
As a former prosecutor, I know exactly how these cases are evaluated.
-
Yes.
I represent petitioners seeking protection and respondents defending against false or overbroad orders.
Quick hearings require experienced advocacy.
-
Yes.
For respondents, we challenge the basis at the hearing or seek modifications later. For petitioners, we ensure strong evidence supports the order.
Hearings are time-sensitive and prompt representation is critical.
-
Eligibility depends on the offense, time passed, and other factors.
I review your record, handle the filing, and guide you through the process to clear arrests or convictions where possible.

I handle eligibility review, paperwork, and court appearances so you can clear eligible records efficiently.

Many cases are dismissed or reduced due to insufficient evidence, constitutional issues, witness problems, or negotiation.
As a former prosecutor, I know what weaknesses to exploit. I will evaluate your specific facts honestly.
