Client-Centered Legal Represntation
    "Rely on Robert "Chris" Gigstad to Navigate the Way"
    Chris was upfront and honest about my situation, giving realistic predictions about the penalties I could expect. I didn't have to appear in court, he took care of court dates for me and helped me navigate my way through the foreign territory of getting a DUI. It was money well spent to not have to worry about missed steps or errors filing paperwork.

    "I Would Highly Recommend Giving Robert a Call"
    Robert was very easy to work with. He took care of my speeding ticket for a very reasonable fee and had the ticket amended down to a non-moving violation so no points against my drivers license or insurance rate increases. If you have a speeding ticket in the KC area that needs to be dealt with, I would highly recommend giving Robert a call.

    "Robert Hung in on My Case and We Prevailed in a Bogus Battery Case"
    Robert hung in on my case and we prevailed in a bogus battery case. It was a bit of a Mexican standoff with the prosecutor, but he got my case dismissed when it came down to crunch time. I would recommend his services to anyone!
    Josh T.
    "Robert Gigstad Was Extremely Helpful and Thorough in Handling My Case"
    I got an MIP and Fake ID charge in Lawrence and Robert Gigstad was extremely helpful and thorough in handling my case. He always got back to me in a timely manner and kept me informed throughout the whole process, I got diversion for both charges so they will not be on my permanent record.
    Kelly
    "I Couldn't Be More Pleased!"
    I couldn't be more pleased with Mr. Gigstad's services. Contacting a law firm you typically are faced with leaving multiple messages and dealing with secretaries that might not always know the best route to take. From the very first time I contacted Roberts office he personally was always very quick to respond to email and explain exactly what need to be done in my case. You never want the need for a lawyer but if the need arises again I will not hesitate to contact Mr. Gigstad again for his services.

    "He Was Successful in Attaining That Goal!"
    Mr. Gigstad was very upfront and accessible to us and performed his duties with a positive outcome for all parties. We had a game plan going into this venture and he was successful in attaining that goal. He represented both myself and my son and was very fair on his fees.
