Michael C. Duma
Michael C. Duma is a Kansas City native and accomplished Kansas criminal defense attorney leading Duma Law Offices in Olathe, Kansas. For over ten years, Duma has defended clients across Johnson County and the Kansas City Metro on crimes ranging from DUI and drug charges to the most serious felony offenses in State and Federal court.
Before building his defense practice, Duma began his legal career as a prosecutor in Wyandotte County, where he gained firsthand experience in courtroom litigation and the appellate process—insight he now uses to challenge the government’s evidence, protect constitutional rights, and guide clients through high-stakes decisions.
In private practice, Duma has consistently been recognized as a leader in his field of criminal defense. Since 2015, he has been selected as a Super Lawyer by Thompson Reuters and a Top 100 Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers Association. He is also frequently sought by local media to provide perspective on notable cases and legal developments, as well as volunteers his time by providing ongoing legal education for other Kansas attorneys—reflecting a commitment to both rigorous advocacy for individual clients, and a broader understanding of how the law shapes the community.
Duma is known for his intense trial preparation, strategic motion practice, and his calm, assertive demeanor from investigation through verdict. He believes the greatest calling of a criminal defense attorney is to fight for someone that is wrongly accused, be with them through the process of being prosecuted, and walk out of the courtroom with them when a verdict of not guilty is returned.
