Tim R. Karstetter has recently been involved in a number of litigation matters. He has successfully represented an owner and director of a corporation in a suit brought by the corporation against our client, alleging theft of corporate equipment and sale of equipment by the client, with an allegation that our client failed to account to the corporation with the proceeds of the sale. The claim against our client was approximately $380,000.00. After extensive discovery, Tim was able to obtain an order of summary judgment in our client's favor.

Tim also obtained an acquittal in a jury trial in which our client was charged with aggravated battery. Our client was a registered nurse who would have lost her nursing license, had she been convicted.

Tim also represented a young woman recently, who was charged with 3 felony counts of forgery. She was acquitted by a jury.

He represented a young man who, we felt, was wrongfully charged with rape. Our client was adamant that no rape had occurred and the evidence we developed also lead to that conclusion. After a thorough investigation of the matter with numerous witnesses and a preliminary hearing, the case against our client was dismissed.

In his most recent trials, Tim obtained acquittals for individuals charged with a felony drug offense and domestic battery.

As is the case in many courts, the docket in the District Court of McPherson County, Kansas, is extremely congested.
