One For the Record Books
We don’t take criminal cases at RBR. That’s what we tell people who call. Except this time we did. A lawyer in Wichita called with a request. A well-respected dentist from Wichita was charged with battery to a child arising out of a dental procedure performed in Dodge City. He wanted to clear his name. I told him that I would meet with Dr. Chen and refer him to a good criminal lawyer. But once I met Dr. Chen, his wife Rachael and his son, Freddy, I wanted to take their case. My partner Aaron Kite readily agreed and we began to prepare our defense. Along the way, we got to know this extraordinary family who immigrated to the US from Communist China. Dr. Chen had served in both the US army and navy. His daughter is a graduate of MIT and a Navy officer. Convinced of his innocence, I nonetheless wondered whether he would entrust his career to a lawyer he didn’t know and a court system he did not quite understand. But together we stood before a jury in Ford County. Our team which not only included Aaron and myself, but also our legal assistants Ash-Leigh Drake and Jenny Durrant, my wife Bernice Rebein and our jury consultant Mark Vierthaler, put on our defense of this good man. The jury was out 5 minutes and returned a verdict of acquittal. I am told this is a record for Ford County.
- David J. Rebein
For the record... We still don’t take criminal cases at RBR

Attorney David Rebein recently participated in the Kansas Association of Justice (KsAJ) Service Project, Bring Your Law Suit 2016.

Is that
Aaron Trump?
Attorney Aaron Kite was trying out a new look for Super Tuesday. Because if you can pull off this hair style, you can do anything!
As Trump would say, 'A complex world requires complex hair.'
