Meet Dan Kennedy, a husband and a father of two little girls. A passionate supporter of the Royals and Chiefs, Dan grew up in Eastern Kansas, where he went to college, met his wife, built lifelong friendships and learned hard lessons.. He chose a career in law because he's a real-world guy who understands that people make real-world mistakes.. When we make a mistake, we need a legal adviser who can come alongside us, help us recognize that mistake, admit it, learn from it and, finally, forget it.. Mistakes are part of our learning process. When mistakes hit the pause button in our lives, we need someone to help us understand our rights, so we can hit play as soon as possible.. Dan knows we're not the only ones who make mistakes. The legal system isn't perfect either.. It lacks flexibility. It's complicated, and too often, it takes advantage of citizens and their futures because law enforcement and criminal justice procedures are more concerned with moving cases than hearing and understanding the unique facts of our individual situations.. Here are four reasons Dan should earn serious consideration as your representative:. - He knows what the prosecutor is thinking.. A former Missouri Department of Revenue attorney, Dan spent most of his time prosecuting DWI and other cases related to driver's licenses.. Organizations, such as the Missouri Bar, have asked Dan to make presentations on DWI law because he knows it inside, outside, backward and forward.. - He knows what the officer is thinking.. Instructors have provided Dan the same DWI training that law enforcement personnel receive.. He's certified in the use of standardized field sobriety tests. He's also extensively trained in the use and manufacturing of breath test devices.. - He knows what your family is thinking.. Dan has expanded his practice to include divorce and probate cases for deeply personal times when children and financial assets are at risk.. Many families have seen him apply the same diligence, consistency and expertise to other areas of law.. - He knows what you're thinking.. Is this guy going to help me? Is he going to treat me like a statistic or like a human being?. Is he more concerned with his time and his fees or my time and my life?. Are any of those questions on your mind? Dan's strength is his ability to make people feel like people.. Dan developed the ability to treat people like people before he graduated with dean's honors from the Washburn University School of Law.. As a manager for a hospitality company, he built his career with a foundation of customer service.

I'm a lifelong Missourian and proud Kansas Citian, a Mizzou Tiger and a UMKC Roo. My wife and I have kids in public school, where I volunteer. You should know that law is my second career, so I know the difference between the "real" and the "theory" of life and law.. I have worked in science and the law, so I have an easier time understanding how real people's issues translate to law practice. I value hard work, value, and trust, and I give my clients all three things. In my role as a scientist, I looked at data and was hands-on helping other scientists navigate technical issues. I gave others the run-down on what they were trying to do with complex instruments, and what the path forward to success looked like.. As a lawyer, I do the same thing, except for those people now facing difficult issues with criminal justice.. When it comes to the very technical areas that I practice in, I put in the effort to let people know what they can expect, how we will work the case together, what the "chances" are, and what to do next. I worked in DWI law for the State of Missouri, and I put that knowledge to work for those charged with DWI to ensure that they have the best defense available.. I make it my goal to give a price for the case that both they and I can live with, and I always want to have at least a short conversation with anyone facing criminal charges.
