Serving Defendants Throughout West Virginia

Attorney Robert Kuenzel has been practicing law for over 20 years, and Kuenzel Law, PLLC has been here since 2010.

Here are just a few of the areas where we help defendants:

DUI/DWI

DUI/DWI cases involve complex legal and scientific issues, such as blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests, field sobriety tests, and constitutional rights violations.

We know it’s easy for a driver who has seen their BAC level test out over the legal limit to feel they don’t have options. That’s not true, though. It’s possible a police officer may not have had probable cause for the stop or for the test. The tests themselves can come back with erroneous readings for more reasons than many people realize. Before you plead out, let us take a look at your case.

Theft

Theft refers to unlawfully taking someone else’s property without their consent. The severity of theft charges depends on factors such as the value of the stolen items, whether force was used, and the defendant’s criminal history.

Based on the circumstances of each case, our options include challenging the prosecution’s evidence and addressing issues of intent and ownership. Sometimes, what appears to be theft is really a misunderstanding. Sometimes, a prosecutor’s case against our client is simply lacking in evidence. We do the work necessary to find out.

Traffic Violations

Traffic violations cover a broad spectrum of offenses, ranging from minor infractions such as speeding or running a red light to more serious offenses like reckless driving or hit-and-run accidents. We can assist clients in navigating the legal process.

Before Attorney Kuenzel became a Logan County criminal defense lawyer, he was a police officer. From over 10 years of working in law enforcement, he knows the most common areas officers make mistakes and how they can potentially violate someone’s rights. He leverages that experience and knowledge for the benefit of his clients.

Drug Charges

Drug charges can include the possession, sale, distribution, or manufacturing of illegal substances. The possibilities for a legal defense in drug cases may include scrutinizing the legality of search and seizure procedures, challenging the admissibility of evidence, and exploring possible defenses like lack of knowledge or entrapment.

It’s possible that the high-profile nature of drug cases may have led law enforcement and the District Attorney’s office to take shortcuts, either in investigation or in prosecution. Defendants have rights, and we’re here to make sure those rights are protected.

Homicide

These cases are among the most serious crimes in criminal law practice—when someone has lost their life. We listen carefully to our client’s side of the story. Based on the unique circumstances of each case, our options may include a claim of self-defense. Or, we may directly challenge the prosecution’s evidence and insist that they meet their constitutional burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Protecting Your Rights

Beyond a reasonable doubt—it’s a cornerstone principle of our criminal justice system. So is presumed innocence. The prosecution must get a unanimous vote among 12 jurors that a defendant’s guilt is so evident that no other reasonable explanation is possible. Otherwise, the jury is obligated to acquit.

That’s a system that should work in favor of defendants, but all too often, the opposite happens. For a defendant’s rights to be protected, they need a Logan County criminal defense attorney who is zealous in the defense of their client, diligent in their investigative footwork, and passionate when they’re in front of a judge and jury.

Zealous, diligent, and passionate are three words that describe the work we do at Kuenzel Law, PLLC.
