I have practiced in the areas of estate planning and elderlaw for over 28 years.  I handle some estate and trust related litigation matters.  I take a combined approach to estate planning - I am as concerned as much for what happens when a client lives (and hopefully lives well) as what happens when a client dies.  I work with a wide range of clients - some of whom are in need of Medicaid and VA benefits planning to assist with the payment of long term care costs, and some of whom have large estates which requires sophisticated estate tax savings techniques.   While I have been a part of the Kansas City community for my entire legal career, I am originally from Kirksville, Missouri.  I am a single adoptive parent whose son is now in college.  I am active in my church - Heartland Community Church in Olathe, Kansas.  In addition to being a member of several Estate Planning and Elderlaw related groups and Boards, I also serve as an Ambassador for Solace House, a grief counseling center in the Greater Kansas City area.

I have practiced in both large and mid-sized firms for over a decade specializing in business litigation, property rights and appeals with an expertise in research and writing.  In 2017 I joined my parents at the Colgan Law Firm to bring those skills to businesses and individuals that need an aggressive litigation attorney who is a problem solver first and foremost.  Not all lawsuits are alike and I am proficient at analyzing your case and determining the appropriate strategy to achieve the best results.. I have also practiced both family and criminal law and can offer those services in addition to business and personal civil litigation helping small business owners and individuals that are owed money or defending those claims when disputes arise.  These types of cases need someone who will work out creative solutions and litigate in court when necessary.  My practice also includes extensive real estate litigation, title disputes, homeowner’s association representation along with debtor’s rights and consumer law cases.  My courtroom experience has included both civil and criminal jury trials along with numerous oral arguments in state district and appellate courts.. If you have any type of civil dispute, criminal or family law matter the Colgan Law Firm can assist you.

I have over 37 years of experience in providing top notch legal services to thousands of clients of all types of backgrounds. I am licensed in the States of Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. I will take the time to research your situation thoroughly and to take whatever action is necessary to bring about the most successful possible outcome. I am proud that so many of my clients have repeatedly turned to me for counsel and representation and have referred their family members, friends and business associates to me.

I have had the privilege to represent owners, design-builders, design professionals, general contractors, construction managers, and subcontractors of all types and sizes, ranging from publicly-traded international companies to small local businesses, on a wide variety of projects, including: petroleum and bio-fuel refineries; fossil-fuel and geothermal power plants; industrial and food processing facilities; military facilities and government housing; earthen dams; sports stadiums; commercial office towers; heavy highway, transportation, and civil; distribution facilities; retail developments; and condominium developments.. Although I assist clients at all phases of a construction project, litigation is the principal focus of my practice and I have tried or arbitrated numerous construction disputes, including:  claims for delays, disruptions, lost productivity, and acceleration; claims for additional compensation due to unknown or changed site conditions; claims for wrongful termination; claims for defective design drawings and specifications; construction defect claims; claims under the Miller Act and similar state statutes; and mechanic’s lien claims.

I have been practing employee rights and (relatedly) civil rights law for my entire legal career. Prior to becoming an attorney I worked as a human resources professional and have applied that experience to my work in employment law. As primarily an employment law attorney I have handled single plaintiff cases and class actions. I also provide consultation to employees who have questions about employer vaccine mandates. I provide a free initial case assessment. The amount of time for the initial assessment varies from case to case.. ** Please note the civil rights category of law covers a wide scope of potential claims. I focus my practice in this area in claims arising out of the employment or eduction environment or from manditory vaccination requirements. At this time I am not accepting cases regarding civil rights claims arising from other legal violations.

I have been practicing Traffic and Criminal Law for over 25 years.  I quickly established myself as an attorney that battles in a courtroom to ensure that my client's rights are preserved and protected. For DUI cases,  blood and breath tests require specific knowledge that not every attorney has, I have that knowledge.. I handle all levels of criminal and traffic litigation and enjoy in taking cases to trial. Our firm has a tremendous record in trial and often work out cases with great results for our clients just by having the prosecutor's know that we are willing to go to trial.   I take the time to get to know my clients and try to figure out what will actually work best for my client in the long run.  I realize that criminal matters can be tramatic and that is what I'm here for, to handle the legal component so that you can worry about your emotional concerns.

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.

I am passionate about helping you through all of your life transitions – from cradle to grave. I’ve been an attorney since 1994, when I was graduated from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, Missouri. I first began the practice of law in Scott County, Missouri as the only public defender assigned to the entire county.  After two years in the rural area, my family and I moved to the Kansas City metro area where I joined the Department of Social Services representing the Children’s Division in child abuse and neglect cases.  After 8 years with the Department of Social Services, I joined the Earnshaw Hobbs Law Firm PC to continuing and broaden my advocacy skills on behalf of families and children. After almost 6 years with Earnshaw Hobbs, I opened my own firm, Kiske Law Office, LLC, in Zona Rosa.  I am licensed in both Missouri and Kansas (and hold an inactive license in Illinois). Because I also like to challenge myself, I am usually engaged in one or two large “extra-curricular” activities. Currently, I am privileged to serve on the Board of Directors for MARCH mediation. I am also a member of the Association of Family and Conciliatory Courts, and I have received the AVVO client’s choice award for Family Law in 2014. In my “free time” I volunteer for a hospice organization where I play flute duets for patients in hospice.. I am also grateful for my personal life experiences that have enabled me to be empathetic with my clients. I have personally been through a divorce with children, experienced the death of a parent, and many of the life transitions that we all experience.. At the Kiske Law Office, LLC, I am responsible for child custody cases, child abuse cases, divorces, paternities, guardianships, and traffic matters, and simple estate planning.

We are a female-owned and female-controlled law firm committed to delivering outstanding results for clients using fee structures that provide clients with budget certainty..

I am a life-long Kansas City resident who has tried and won jury trials and commercial arbitration hearings. I love healthy debate and enjoy being in the courtroom.
