At The Sandage Law Firm, PC our Kansas City law of conspiracy lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights and freedom of those accused of crimes involving conspiracy. When you “conspire” to do something with another person or party, it is an agreement that you will carry through the intended action. For example, you may conspire to commit fraud or burglary. You do not have to carry through with the act you conspire (or intend) to commit to be charged with a crime. When you need a skilled Kansas City law of conspiracy attorney, contact our firm right away for exceptional legal guidance and representation.
The Kansas City law of conspiracy attorneys at our firm understand that conspiracy is a separate offense on its own, and is not punished as one offense along with the crime you conspire to commit. For example, if you conspire with another person to manufacture drugs and are caught, you may be charged with manufacturing drugs and conspiring to manufacture drugs, two separate offenses. This essentially means that you may be charged with conspiracy, then charged with another offense if you carry out the agreement, or actually manufacture drugs. All of this can be quite complex and confusing, which is why you need an experienced Kansas City law of conspiracy lawyer.
Conspiracy resembles attempt, and is a preparatory crime. The difference between attempt and conspiracy is that while an attempt may be made by one person to commit a crime, conspiracy involves more than one person in the planning of the a crime. Even though you may not have carried out the offense that you and another person conspired to commit, you may be charged with conspiracy to manufacture drugs, as in the example above. Although you did nothing dangerous if you did not proceed with the intended crime, conspiracy involved more than one person and thus is considered more dangerous to the public. Additionally, with conspiracy law officials often feel that the potential for criminal activity rises when more than one person is involved. As you can see, this is a complex topic that requires a skilled and aggressive Kansas City law of conspiracy attorney.
As competent Kansas City law of conspiracy attorneys, we realize that prosecutors often allege conspiracy in order to add additional (and superfluous) criminal charges to someone accused of a crime, such as burglary, drug manufacturing or assault. Essentially, this means that you could serve additional time above what you were sentenced to for the actual crime. For instance, if you were sentenced to 2 years in prison for manufacturing drugs, you may serve additional time if it can be proven that you and another party/person conspired to commit the crime. If you or a loved one have been charged with conspiracy to commit any type of offense, contact a talented Kansas City law of conspiracy lawyer at The Sandage Law Firm, PC.
