About Kansas DUI Defense Lawyer Brian L. Leininger

Kansas DUI Defense Attorney Brian Leininger has handled over 2000 DUI cases and is ready and available to help you with your case. He has been practicing KS DUI law every working day since 1991.

Brian began his legal career as a Research Attorney for the Kansas Court of Appeals, where he honed his legal research skills and became intimately familiar with the appellate process. He moved on to become an Assistant District Attorney in Wyandotte County, Kansas and prosecuted cases ranging from traffic offenses to rapes, robberies and homicides. He was the head of the Traffic Unit for about three years, during which time he reviewed, filed and prosecuted well over 1000 DUI cases. As an experienced Kansas DUI Lawyer, he also served as a part-time city prosecutor for nearly four years. Brian knows the tricks of the prosecutor’s trade and can use them to your advantage in KS.

Brian left the D.A.’s office to become General Counsel to the Kansas Highway Patrol. In nearly five years with the Patrol, he trained troopers and other officers around Kansas in the law of DUI and drug cases. Brian took advantage of the opportunity to complete extensive police training in KS. As a Kansas DUI Defense Attorney, he is certified to administer the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and is trained in the use of the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath testing instrument. Brian is a graduate of the FBI National Law Institute and is one of only a few lawyers anywhere to have successfully completed the training to become a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). DREs are the officers called in to investigate when a driver is suspected of driving under the influence of a drug other than alcohol (DUID). If you hire Brian as your Kansas DUI Lawyer, you can be fairly assured that your lawyer has had more DUI training than the officer who arrested you.

In 2001 Brian entered the private practice of law and has been defending those accused of DUI and other crimes since that time. He is a frequent speaker to lawyers’ seminars on the defense of DUI and DUID cases and other topics. He is licensed in Kansas and Missouri. Even a first DUI conviction in Kansas means mandatory jail time, a high fine, a license suspension and higher insurance rates. Do not trust your case to a lawyer who primarily writes wills or handles divorces and only does a couple of DUI cases a year. DUI defense is what Brian Leininger does, every day as a knowledgeable DUI Defense Attorney in KS.
