My son is currently serving a driver’s license suspension for a DUI. I have heard that he could possibly work to get his license back now based on new changes to DUI laws. Is this true? I appreciate you answering this question as it is significant for his job, etc. You are correct that the Kansas legislature did recently pass fairly significant changes to Kansas DUI laws. These changes went into effect on July 1, 2011. Regarding license suspensions, it is now possible to install […]

The fine, and court costs, seem pretty high – are they legal?
I live in a small town of nearly 1200. A judge comes in once a week to hold court. He earns $200 each session. A young couple was charged for not having a dog tag. The fine was $85 court costs and $25 for no tag. A dog tag only costs $5 if purchased in January. Is the fine legal? If not what recourse can the couple take? The answer to this question is likely “yes,” this is a legal approach although the amount of […]

They thought I could maybe get some money back through the criminal […]
How Do I End This Lease?
I own approximately 160 acres of agricultural land. Recently, I have become unhappy with my tenant.

A: The Kansas statute dealing with farm lease termination is K.S.A. section 58-2506. This statute actually […]
Driving While Suspended
My son got pulled over the other day for speeding. After he was pulled over, the officer said his license was suspended. I was horrified when I learned that he had been arrested and I had to bond him out of jail. Apparently, his license had been suspended for failing to pay a speeding ticket that he received during a road trip in Texas with friends. He insists that he paid the ticket and says that he even has a money order receipt somewhere to […]
