Do not make the mistake and hire Audra Asher.đShe will 100% do an incomplete investigation and steal your money.(FACT). She proposed to suspend my parental rights AND I HAD DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG TO MY CHILDREN. Looks like other MEN gave a 1 âď¸. Iâm Currently preparing a detailed proposal to the Kansas Disciplinary Committee. If Audra wants to propose to have my parental rights suspended for âWhatever reasonâ, I hope the Kansas Disciplinary Committee suspends her license for incompetence, diligence, and communication. Audra should not be treating fathers in a manner that she treated myself nor my children. Kansas attorneyâs MUST follow Ethics and under Rule 226, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 she has failed miserably.
Audra Asher knows that..
1. Mother is on welfare and does not have a steady income and is not able to pay attorney fees.
2. I have a successful business in Texas, and able to provide for my children without welfare, and I am able to pay Attorney fees.
Because of this Audra Asher decided not to do what was for âthe best interest of the childrenâ and instead take the motherâs side (Even with all of the criminal activity). Because Audra Asher knows that I will continue to fight for the best interest of the children, therefore, Audra thought she could make attorney fees from myself. Audra Asher knows that mother is not able to pay attorney fees. (Letâs take away the fatherâs rights, Because the father will pay to have his rights restored, Disgusting!)
This is how Audra Asher Looks in a hearing âFor the best interest of the childrenâ. Stretched out T-shirt, sitting on a couch. Very unprofessional to say the least. Just a big fish and a small pond.
Audra you owe me a refund!
To be continuedâŚ.

Please do not make the mistake i made by hiring Audra Asher, she is not professional has no integrity and will take your money tell you what you want to hear and then do nothing and then have her secretary tell you she will not do any of the filings you have contracted her for. I hired Audra to file 2 petitions with the state and county and she did not do then, i have email documentation of the many times i emailed her asking her of the progress i was met with with very short and kurt and unprofessional replies, SHe claimed to have been getting ready to file some probation papers for me with a judge on July 25th 2023 and i sent her two emails before that date asking about the status of the filing, I got two automated replies saying she was out of town, i sent a third email after the 25th asking what the status was and that it was unprofessional of her to not o what she said she was going to do and to not have replied to me, i was then ignored until early november when i tried to set a meeting with Don Anderson to inquire about the status of them filings, Don refused to see me and Audra had the secretary tell me she would not be working with me. Audra is so unprofessional she could not even tell me personally or send an email.
I probably should have seen this coming because Audra was a terrible attorney for the charges i had, Audra missed a bail reduction hearing while i was in jail waiting for a trial. Audra seems to be too worried about being a part of the "Good Ole Boys Club" than she is being a good attorney that fights for her clients. it seems her strategy is to let you sit in jail until the Prosecutor gets bored. There was one gentlemen i was in jail with and he had been in jail for over a year waiting for Audra to actually do her job and get him released on a case and that had already been plea bargained out.
Please avoid Audra Asher at all costs she will not fight for you, i think he only attribute is riding Don's coat tails, using his reputation to squeak by, her act of being cute and smiling for the judge and prosecutor is only going to be useful for anther couple of years at best.

I called and the woman that answered said that my boyfriend has to be charged with a crime and the Sheriff has his camera futidge and statements about the crime that the owner thinks that it's a crime and I wanted to talk to this Attorney and it's awful if you can't even talk to Donald Anderson because we want
Employment Disagreements case, Defense Attorney, family Attorney and more but you can't even help anyone about that? Because the woman that answered the phone says that there isn't a case that they can't help anyone about unless he's charged with so crime and I really hope that Donald E. Anderson Attorney's can read this and understand that she has dismissed me about my boyfriends case.

Mr. Boeckman is a different breed of lawyers, one of the most kind and compassionate humans, none the less lawyers, I have ever spoken with. He helped me in every way he could and informed me of the legal process in a way I could easily understand it. He addressed all of my concerns and was very patient and understanding the whole way through. It was not a hard case that I had but very few lawyers would actually consult or listen to what I had to say. One lawyer was going to charge me seven times the amount that Boeckman did. He is an incredibly reasonable person, I am beyond grateful that he was willing to help me.

I worked with Mr. Boeckman for a child custody modification & had a wonderful experience! Mr. Boeckman always kept me informed, had incredible communication and guided me through the whole process with ease. I felt confident in his hands! The case went way quicker than I ever expected, which was a direct result of his hard work on the case! We are so grateful to have worked with Mr. Boeckman and would recommend him to all!

Remington should be investigated due to him being, he will padden charges, and also allow law enforcement to lie under oath then he won't even make sure everything gets investigated. And if there's anything that he shows in court best believe it will be edited which is illegal he will add and take away what people say just to try to incriminate you. For 2 years he has been holding someone in jail that is and wouldn't even give him a chance to clear his name.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
Itâs crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If youâre considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If youâve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clientsâ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges youâre facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyerâs experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyerâs experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so itâs important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyerâs experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyerâs fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, youâll want to ensure that theyâre a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges youâre facing, whether itâs DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether youâll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, itâs important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your stateâs bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyerâs communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyerâs website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If youâve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
