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.

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.
