It is a privilege to help people with health problems secure benefits for which they are entitled. My focus as a lawyer is to help clients navigate government and insurance claim systems to obtain the assistance they deserve.. People would rather work than endure bad health that keeps them from working. However, when medical care is not successful, a person should be able to have a measure of security and peace with an assured income. This is not welfare – rather it is making a claim for benefits paid for through their payroll deductions and premiums.. After the government or an insurance company has originally said no in denying an application for disability benefits, I welcome the challenge of getting an unfavorable decision reversed in favor of the client.

I have a general civil trial and appellate practice. Much of my civil litigation has dealt with complex wrongful death, personal injury, premises liability, medical malpractice and commercial dispute matters. I also have experience working with corporate formation, contract negotiation and real estate matters. After receiving my Juris Doctor Degree, I joined a downtown Kansas City law firm where I focused primarily on insurance defense work. My practice has steadily evolved from insurance defense into a strong and successful plaintiff’s practice.. In addition to representing individuals I have continued to represent small businesses in defense of claims with a winning trial record.   I am able to stay with my clients to the end of the litigation process and have experienced great success in both the state and federal courts of appeals.. I joined Withers, Brant, Igoe and Mullennix, P.C. in 2003 and continue to be an advocate for those in need of help.

I am experienced in vigorously protecting my clients' rights while providing guidance and reassurance in a supportive environment. I value my clients' experiences and partner with them to develop an intelligent and effective case strategy.. I understand how to be aggressive when circumstances demand it, but also know that domestic issues are often best settled through reasoned negotiation. My goal is to minimize the conflict while finding solutions that work for parent.. I work with families in all areas of family law, including divorce, modifications of child support, modifications of child custody, administrative child support proceedings, custody arrangments between never married parents, adoptions, step-parent adoptions, grandparent visitation, adult and minor name changes.. Prior to practing in private practice, I  worked as law clerk to the Honorable Patrick W. Campbell  and Honorable Christine Sill-Rogers of the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri – Family Court Division where where I gained considerable insight into how judges decide family law matters.

I am a trial lawyer.  That is what I do.  My clients do NOT have to pay me for my services out of their own pocket.  If I take your case, I will make the other side pay my fee -- either as part of a settlement or as part of a verdict or judgment.. I grew up in small town Iowa.  While in school, I drove trucks for a living, worked as a field hand, in a chicken processing plant and even had factory jobs.   I know what its like to work hard for a company making an hourly wage and I saw firsthand how companies and managers can treat good employees poorly -- because of the employees age, sex, race, ethnicity or disability.    It is why I do what I do.

I am a proud husband and father who enjoys travel, cooking and games of all kinds. I take my responsibilities as an attorney very seriously; I take my responsibilities as a father and husband equally seriously. No lawyer should avoid drawing on his or her personal experiences when representing a client, and the more substantial and fulfilling a lawyer's personal life, the more benifit he or she can bring to his client from his own life experience. As such, I work hard to balance those two aspects of my life in a way that maxamizes the benifits I recieve from both.. As for my professional philosophy, I started this practice with the idea that people need attorneys in the same way they need doctors. Most of the time people are best served by "their lawyer", who knows their history, sees many people situated similarly to them, and has a broad understanding of the law.. Generally, people know when something is wrong, and know that they want it fixed, but in law, like in medicine, most people don't know the best way to fix the problem, or if they do, they understand that their legal health is too important not to engage the help of a professional. As such, it is my belief that, based on his personal familiarity with the client from representing the client's past legal needs, a general practitioner is highly effective at diagnosing the legal ailments of an average client, and developing a plan for treatment and long-term care. It is with this philosophy and these personal tools that I assist and advise my clients, whether they need a health-care directive drafted, received a speeding ticket, are dealing with a child-support issue, or have been gravely injured due to the negligence of another.
