I am the founder of Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger, LLC, where I focus on prosecuting personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and car crash claims for those who have suffered life-altering injuries or the pain of losing a loved one through no fault of their own.  I understand that representing my clients includes more than just filing legal documents, it also requires helping them through what is perhaps the most difficult time of their lives.

I take a limited number of personal injury cases (including employment discrimination) so I give 100% attention to your case. I will be working on your case directly, and can promise you that you will get personalized attention.  I have a strong record of jury trial success, and consequently, many favorable settlments, which can be viewed in more detail at my website .  My last major judgment was for 8.3 million dollars in 2015 in Jackson County Circuit Court in a Westport Bar dispute, which included a defamation judgment of 2 million dollars against the attorney/bar owner's company.

I started at Polsinelli, White, Vardeman, & Shalton as a corporate lawyer, but soon found my calling as a trial lawyer.. I have worked on just about every imaginable type of personal injury matter.  I have found my niche' in the area of worker's compensation and motor vehicle accidents. Although, I still do a little of everything "personal injury.". I am married with two college aged children.  I am a drummer in a rock band that plays a variety of establishments in the KC Metro Area.. I also consider myself an avid sports fan.

I specialize in personal injury. I do not represent corporate managers or insurance companies. I represent real people. That is why I dedicate so much of my time to the representation of individual victims.. I recognize how difficult the legal process can seem and I make it my business to take the stress and complexity off the shoulders of our clients. YOU are my top priority.. I recognize that each client and case is different but all of my clients receive fair and aggressive representation.

I have represented hundreds of  plaintiffs in complex persional injury, wrongful death, product liablity, and medical neglicence cases since i graduated from UMKC Law School  in 1989.    I have handled numerous cases iinvloing serious personal injury or death resulting from automobile crashes, turcking wrecks, railroad crossing collisions, constsruction site injuies, natureal gas explosions, and medical negligence, amonng others.   i have also hadled casee involvling environmental contamination, insurance disputes, the Federal False Claims Act (whistleblower qui tam actions), and class actions.. Prior to becomming a lawyer i spent ten years as a professional archaeologist where i conducted excavations in surveys in primary in the Kansas and Missouri.

I have been practicing personal injury law and workers' compensation litigation for over 23 years. Most of that time I spent representing the rights of injury victim. I earned my Bachelor's degreein Broadcast Journalism at the University of Kansas. As an undergraduate I became interested in the law, so I decided to obtain my Juris Doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Law.  I am admitted to practice in both state and federal courts in both Missouri and Kansas.. I enjoy reading, watching movies, watching Jayhawk basketball and KC Chiefs football, and spending time with my wife and two  children.

I grew up on a farm in central Kansas and graduated from Kansas State and NYU School of Law. I live in Kansas City, Missouri, and have a license to practice law in both Kansas and Missouri.. I represent people who've been injured by someone else or by a defective product. I also represent people in insurance disputes and people who have been defrauded by their investment advisors.. Most people who have been harmed need a lot of help navigating the legal system. You're not just up against the person who harmed you, you're also up against their insurance company and lawyers. The insurance company's goal is to pay you as little as possible.. I used to represent big companies at a big Kansas City law firm, but I like representing individual people a whole lot more. Starting my own firm to do this kind of work was the best decision I ever made.. If you have been harmed and someone else is at fault, please give me a call, and I can talk with you about your case for free. In injury cases, I do not take any payment upfront, and I do not get paid unless you receive a settlement or a court judgment. In business disputes and investor fraud cases, I also usually work on a contingency fee, but some clients choose to pay me at an hourly rate. Initial consultations are always free.. Because I work on both injury cases and on financial fraud cases, I have worked on a wide variety of cases over the years. I have handled many kinds of injury cases involving motor vehicles, including car crashes, semi-trailer wrecks, motorcycle wrecks, and wrecks caused by drunk drivers. I have handled many different kinds of fall cases, including falls from balconies, falls on ice, falls on liquid spills, and falls in potholes and other dangerous surfaces. And I have handled many kinds of cases involving defective products, including medical devices, home appliances, and chemical products.. I have also represented many clients who have been defrauded, cheated, and lied to by their broker or investment advisor. Most of those cases have to be filed in arbitration, because there is usually an arbitration provision in your contract with your investment advisor. The arbitration process is a little different than court. You will need someone that understands that process. I am certified as a FINRA arbitrator, which means I can serve on the arbitration panels that judge other investor fraud cases, in addition to being able to file cases for my own clients. If your broker or investment advisor did you wrong, please give me a call to discuss your case.
