Drug Offenses/Minor In Possession

Drug Offenses/Minor In Possession

Defending You Against Drug Charges To Protect Your Future

As is the case in other states, police and prosecutors take drug charges very seriously in Missouri, oftentimes placing significant pressure on defendants to seek a plea deal in order to avoid severe consequences. Unfortunately, this typically only leads to more problems for defendants as prior drug crime convictions can lead to mandatory minimum sentences for later drug charges.


At Kelly, Reed & Jansen, LLC, in Lee’s Summit, we defend people from all walks of life and all ages against drug charges and other criminal charges. One of our founders is a former Jackson County prosecutor who used to prosecute the very kinds of crimes that he now defends clients against.


Protecting your rights and best interests is our top priority, and you can rest assured we will do this at every turn and with tenacity.

Develop A Strategic, Intelligent And Aggressive Defense

Our knowledge of how the prosecution thinks, how law enforcement officers write reports and how alleged drug cases are investigated all contribute to our ability to develop a well-thought-out, strategic case for each individual client.


We understand what is at stake for our clients in a drug charge, especially when they are dealing with an unfamiliar and complex legal system.


We will do a thorough review of the charges against you — whether you’ve been accused of possession of marijuana or another controlled substance, transporting and distributing drugs, or manufacturing and cultivation of controlled substances.


If drugs were found in your vehicle during a traffic stop, we will determine whether the search was lawful and admissible in court.



We take the time to listen carefully to the events leading up to your arrest. We thoroughly analyze your case so we can help you understand your legal options and the legal process. Knowing what to expect is reassuring.
