Professional Biography

Lindsey Erickson defends adults and juveniles charged with all manner of felonies and misdemeanors—including drug crimes, sex crimes, violent crimes, property crimes, and DUIs. She also defends her clients in related administrative matters.

Lindsey has devoted her entire legal career to criminal defense practice in eastern Kansas. She spent 13 years at a respected Overland Park criminal defense firm before opening her own law firm with Dionne Scherff. Stunned by her talent, JHC’s criminal defense group determined to make Lindsey a colleague rather than a competitor. That wish became a reality when Erickson Scherff LLC merged with Joseph, Hollander & Craft LLC in 2016.

Lindsey’s clients are just as impressed. They describe her as a passionate advocate with spectacular trial skills. They appreciate her transparent communication style and her cool, collected presence in the courtroom. And they admire her ability to remain professional, yet approachable.

While she genuinely cares about each of her clients, there’s no denying Lindsey has a soft spot for children and teens. In light of her ample experience defending juveniles, the Chief Judge of the Johnson County District Court appointed Lindsey to sit on the Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board.

Outside of work, Lindsey volunteers for KidsTLC, an organization that provides services for children and families experiencing mental and behavioral health challenges, developmental trauma, and autism.

Education

  • University of Kansas School of Law – Juris Doctorate, 1994

Memberships

The moment you recognize that you are the target of a criminal investigation, you need an attorney. If you recognize this before law enforcement contacts you for an interview, prior consultation with a criminal defense attorney will provide insight into whether agreeing to meet for questioning is in your best interest. Invoking your right to counsel prevents police from using your words against you. The FBI, for example, has a policy that prohibits recording interviews. The only report of what you say to the FBI will be a report made by an agent whose goal may be to convict you of a federal crime.

Representation during an investigation is critical. Guidance from an experienced Kansas criminal defense attorney can help you manage your situation and minimize the impact of the investigation. Defense counsel can try to dissuade prosecutors from filing charges. We can ask to be notified when charges are filed to avoid police executing an arrest warrant at your home or work. We can arrange for bail and walk you through the process.
