THE FOCUS OF OUR LAW PRACTICE IS CRIMINAL DEFENSE.  By concentrating our professional effort, education and training in one area of the law, we can assure our clients that we are knowledgeable and well-prepared lawyers.  Our efforts have been rewarded with an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the country's leading attorney rating service, in recognition of having achieved the highest levels of professional skill and integrity.  Gyllenborg & Dunn is listed in the 2009 Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers in the practice area of Criminal Trial Practice.  In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, Scott Gyllenborg was selected as a Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyer in a survey by Law and Politics magazine.

You need a criminal defense lawyer as soon as you are the target of an investigation, and before you are asked questions by police or other law enforcement officials concerning your conduct.  If you are arrested or questioned about your possible involvement in a crime, you should ask for a criminal defense lawyer at the earliest possible moment, and you should not make a statement of any kind until you have received legal advice.  If you cannot afford a lawyer, you have the right to have a lawyer provided to you.

Criminal law and procedure are always changing.  A general practice attorney has to try to keep current with those changes while  working on cases involving personal injury, divorce, child custody, adoptions, estate planning, workers compensation, and bankruptcy.  Every day, the attorneys of Gyllenborg & Dunn practice only criminal defense.  Because we work on criminal cases every day, we are familiar with the personalities and tendencies of the prosecutors and judges who will influence our clients' cases.

Our criminal defense practice also is focused on exceptional service to our clients.  We never forget that you have a choice of whom to hire to represent your interests.  We keep our clients loyal to us by being loyal to them, by representing each one of them with courtesy and professionalism, and by providing ethical and efficient legal services.  The success of our law practice over the years is directly related to the satisfaction of our clients.  Criminal defense is not a practice area that should rely on repeat business.  Our hope is that once you have experienced the legal services provided by Gyllenborg & Dunn, you will recommend us to others who need a criminal defense lawyer. This formula has worked well for many years, and we thank all of our clients who have recommended us to their friends and acquaintances.
