Hi, my name is Vanessa Curran owner of VC LAW OFFICE, LLC. I have been in the legal field over 20 years. I began my legal career as a legal assistant for a prominent personal injury firm in Kansas City while I was still in undergraduate school.  Attending school and working was valuable experience as I was able to witness what I was learning. Directly after I graduated from law school I moved on from there to become the law clerk for the Honorable Judge John R. O’Malley of the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri.  The knowledge and experience I gathered in this position has proven to be priceless. Along with the relationships I was able to establish and learn from and I continue to benefit from the experience and those contacts today. My last stop before going into private practice was working as a staff attorney for the Division of Family Services, Children’s Division on the abuse and neglect docket. I can’t thank the people I have met and worked with up to this point enough to express my gratitude for everything I learned and the experience I gained and continue to gain. Upon leaving the Division of Family Services I began my solo career in private practice. I have had few different locations over the years. However, I like my new location at 4004 Washington Street KCMO 64111, in Westport.

Growing up in a family business taught Eric Hurtt about the obstacles that make running a business challenging. Facing litigation creates further risk that can seriously affect a company’s ability to plan for the future. Eric provides responsive and thorough legal representation that helps calm nerves and keep business goals on target.. “Clients can come to me with complex legal issues,” he said. “I will offer a clear gameplan to help them achieve a great result. With extensive advocacy experience, I can deliver success in both the conference room and the courtroom.”. As an experienced trial attorney, Eric executes the details of each case without losing sight of the client’s end goal. Through robust pre-trial litigation that includes fact investigation and early discovery, he works up cases well before jurors get involved. The strategy allows him to evaluate the merits of a case before deadlines or trial and establishes a foundation he and his clients can stand on to make educated decisions during all phases of litigation.

For several years I worked in insurance defense, defending the insurance companies in personal injury, employment, and worker's compensation matters.  I grew tired of seeing people with legitimate claims being nickled and dimed to protect a company's bottom line.  I was able to leave that world, and now I work for individuals.  I understand how adjusters and their attorney think about, and evaluate cases.  Even more importantly, how they value them.
