We have successfully handled more K9/Drug Dog cases out there than anyone else in the Kansas City metro area. And we owe our success to one principle: we match training for training. Simply put, we train with the same folks who train law enforcement in the area of K9 search and seizure. I wish I could say there was an easier way to win these cases, but there isn't.
Arson, in general, is damaging any building, dwelling, or property by means of fire or an explosion. The arson laws in both Kansas and Missouri are lengthy and encompass a wide variety of acts. By definition, a fire is considered an arson fire when all other accidental caused have been ruled out. It's very common to see an arson case begin with a lengthy investigation by the bomb and arson squad.
Simply put, if you come across a checkbook that isn't yours -- and without the permission of the primary account holder, you decide to write a check -- you've just committed forgery. In both Kansas and Missouri, forgery is a felony offense and can lead to serious consequences. Those consequences include the very real possibility that you may lose a job, professional license, or even your freedom.
Those accused of a Property crimes offense are vigorously prosecuted in both Missouri and Kansas. Whether it is stealing, tampering, trespassing, burglary, robbery, or arson-property crimes are serious. This is why you should never approach a property case without first consulting with The Watt Law Firm.
Prostitution involves the exchange of sexual services for anything of value. These kinds of transactions are very common in both Kansas and Missouri between consenting adults. That being said -- most people underestimate the crime -- and the consequences it may carry. Over the last few decades, both Kansas and Missouri have been raising the stakes concerning prostitution-related offenses.

I don’t even know where to begin. For starters, if you’re looking for a lawyer that will get you the best possible outcome of your case; stop reading and call him now. If you’re interested in why I’ve given 5 stars to Mr. Watt, it is because google told me 5 was the highest I can go. I’ve been charged with crimes that would have put me in prison for a long time, got probation when the prosecutor was fighting against it, he also fought to get these serious felonies off my record after I completed my probation. Not only that but has had complete dismissal on a case in Johnson county that

Greg Watt showed up to fight! Even though my case was minor he still showed me how determined and Dedicated he was to helping me! I was a nervous reck and he constantly reassured me, communicated with me and put me at ease. Greg showed up early ever court date to go over the case and chat with me even about random things which helped my anxiety go down. He really knows what he’s doing and knows his clients. I will recommend his law firm to anyone and everyone! If I ever need him again(which hopefully I won’t) I will know I am in good hands.

Greg Watt is the best Criminal Defense Attorney practicing in KS and MO without question. I’ve faced 5+ years in prison in KS and MO and ended up receiving probation in both cases. He will go to whatever extent he has to in and out of the courtroom to insure getting the best possible outcome he can. I’ve been working with Greg a little over 4 years now and he has saved my freedom time and time again. At this point I consider Mr. Watt family and would advise anyone with legal concerns to let this man handle your case and feel confident he will get end results you may not have even thought we’re

Greg and his office helped my son in more ways than one. Greg was very professional, and was always straight forward with us. He kept us informed of every aspect while the case was happening. We are very grateful for his passion for his job and also for genuinely wanting to help people in the process. We definitely recommend Greg Watt and his office!!

Greg is one of the most motivated and compassionate people I have met. He attacks situations with a clear strategy based around the facts. He is friendly to everyone, and loves to make people smile. He always seems to have momentum from past cases he has won, and that carries over not just momentum, but experience. I cannot recommended him enough.

Greg Watt is a SUPERSTAR! He literally saved our son’s life by taking his case. Had it been anyone else our son may have been sitting in prison. Greg was always there for us, never made us feel anything but comfortable and handled our hundreds of questions as if we were the only clients he had! He is so impressive in the court room. He could switch from ultra professional to intense interrogation with zero preparation time. This man has an amazing memory and can handle anything that is thrown his way. Our son’s trial date was hindered several times due to COVID and Greg made sure to always

From the beginning of the process with Greg and his office it was a wonderful experience, as much as it could be in a bad situation. Greg always returned a phone call, email or text almost immediately. He handled our family with extreme professionalism and care. Greg was entirely honest throughout the entire situation. He became an extension of our family and never made us feel as if we were a burden. I know this is a big statement but he changed our lives! I cannot say enough about the admiration and respect I have for him! I would recommend Greg in any situation!

Greg represented someone in my family. It was a big case in a small town which always makes it more difficult. They tried anything to get him to plead the case out and Greg stood by and adamantly refused. They pushed it out 3 years and Greg was there the entire time. He finally got his 2 days in trial. He showed the whole court room what a joke the entire case was. He did this politely and kindly. He fought for his client and it showed. Great customer service, even better lawyer.

When I hired Greg in January I was honestly already working with another attorney but he was kinda hard to reach and I just wasn’t getting that “feeling”. I kept looking around and as I read reviews on google I decided to call Greg. My first day speaking with Greg I called the number on google, he wasn’t in his office but he had his office phones forwarded to his cell and he actually answered and spoke with me briefly about my cases and what I was wanting from him, after speaking for a few minutes we set something up face to face for the next day! When we met in person Greg was actually

If you are looking for a fair, honest and trustworthy defense attorney-Greg Watt is your guy. I was referred to Greg through a mutual friend. I was told he is the best. When I met Greg, he was open and honest throughout the entire legal process. He advised me on what I should expect for the best and worst case scenarios. Greg worked diligently to get the charges dismissed. Greg communicated with me well in advance and called to remind me of the upcoming court date.
Greg is dedicated to his profession, all while treating others with respect. During this process Greg, was patient, kind and considerate
