Why Choose Us

Michael and Brian have a partnership that goes back all the way to their law school days. They both grew up in the Kansas City area, learning the value of hard work and investing in the well-being of their neighbors and community. To this day, they approach each and every case they have with teamwork, constantly brainstorming and strategizing on each case to find ways to get the best results for their clients.

What sets us apart:
Trophy icon

Big firm experience. Our combined years spent at a large national law firm has shaped the way we do business now. We learned from some of the best attorneys in the country, and are putting that training to work for clients living and working in our own backyards.

Handshake icon icon

Relatability. We know that you are a person, not merely a client with a problem to solve. We have families and household responsibilities too, so we know how important it is to maximize your recovery—that every extra dollar we secure for you could cover the costs of clothing, food,
or shelter.

Lightbulb icon

Candidness. We provide a frank and honest evaluation of each case with potential clients, letting them know what our role will be and what concerns we have in pursuing the case. We do not promise unattainable results to get clients to engage us, and we work very hard over the course of a case to dispel any concerns our clients have.
