K-9 Drug Detection: Our New Comfort Zone

Gregory Watt has 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. The recipe for success looks like this:

1. Learn proper K9 procedure;
2. Connect with credible experts who can testify on your behalf; and,
3. Let the good times roll.

Ultimately, our business model has been consistent over the years. We handle cases successfully because we are willing to get our hands dirty. There is no substitute for this approach.

Defending a drug case involving K-9 detection demands specialized training. And who are we kidding, a law school diploma is not specialized training. Therefore, we have taken our training to another level in order to become highly proficient in cases where contraband was searched and seized by a K-9 and handler.

We began this journey by purchasing Cocoa, a Czech German Sheperd from Malinda Weber, one of the top breeders/trainers of working dogs in the midwest (www.weberhausgsd.com). We then retained K-9 expert (and former law enforcement K-9 handler) Tom Brenneman to train Cocoa and I on the most important aspects of K-9 contraband detection.

Ultimately, we are known for precision defense because we go where other lawyers won't, and we study what other lawyers don't. So it should come as no surprise that our journey has taken us deep into the K-9 training regimen: how they operate in the field, search accuracy, and of course the most common sources of error in their work.

Make no mistake, no other criminal defense law firm in Kansas City has gone to these measures in order to develop the same proficiencies.

Which is why The Watt Law Firm is the authority in Kansas City when it comes to defending cases where a K-9 was used to search and seize contraband.

Gregory's track record for success wasn’t built accidentally; instead, his success is the product of continuing education and exceptional training.
