Daniel
E. Monnat
Whether by obtaining an acquittal of his white-collar client at
the conclusion of the prosecutor's opening statement, or proving that

past 30 years, Dan Monnat has been recognized as a creative trial and appellate criminal defense lawyer. He
co-founded Monnat & Spurrier, Chartered, in 1985. Mr. Monnat is
licensed to practice before the United States Supreme Court, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and the

Bunyard
finally decided!
Paige Nichols and Dan Monnat won in State v.
Bunyard, reversing a Sedgwick County rape conviction and remanding for
new trial. This case is notable just for the delay between argument
(January 26, 2004) and the decision from the KSC (April 28, 2006). The
appeal was docketed more than four years ago!
