I limit my practice to defense of criminal matters in the Municipal, State and Federal courts of Kansas and Missouri.  Although I prefer to take cases to trial and prepare each and every case in my practice as though it were going to trial, I understand that every case and evey client is unique.  Just as the facts of any given case may not be conducive to a favorable outcome at trial, each individual client will have different objectives and concerns with an evidentiary dispositon of their case as opposed to an agreed disposition or plea.  I take my clients and their concerns very seriously and work together with each client to determine the best available disposition in every case.

Since 2014, judges and other attorneys have recognized me as having the highest level of professional excellence for both legal ability and ethical standards and have rated me to be AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell. Since 2016, I have  also been selected to Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers. Only 5% of attorneys in Missouri and Kansas receive this distinction.. I understand this is probably the most difficult time of your life. You need an attorney who will work with you to effectively deal with the issues that are important to you. Too many attorneys make the resolution of cases more difficult and expensive than is necessary. i will always use an approach to maximize the result for you and minimize the expense. If the opposing party is unreasonable, I have extensive experience in representing clients in the courtroom.. I have resided in the Kansas City area since 1973. Prior to attending law school, I was the co-founder of an adoption agency and the general manager of a family-owned manufacturing company.  I have personal experience in dealing with the impact of divorce. I live with my wife in Olathe, Kansas. We have a blended family of five adult children. I am active in community and church activities. In my spare time, I enjoy watching auto racing, KU basketball, playing golf, and spending time with family and friends.

I am an attorney because I am passionate about the role of law in improving the individual and collective lives of the members of our society.  With a law license, one has countless rights, and with them, serious responsibilities.  So much of life's conflicts are due to the polarization of individuals--the focus on our differences:  Christian or Muslim, Gay or Straight, Rich or Poor . . . the list goes on.  Instead, the rule of law and its practice can soften those differences and instead, serve to focus on our commonalities--the things that unite us as people in this world.. The often combativeness of the practice of law can be intellectually stimulating and emotionally fulfilling--but the focus must be on the impact it has on the lives of our clients and those around us.  This is where the ethics of each individual attorney must be be engaged and managed to serve our purpose in this role, rather than in feathering our individuals needs, legitimate or otherwise.. There is much wonderful about life in our world, yet there is so much pain and unfairness.  Each of us much choose for ourselves whether we are going to contribute to the conflict, or to the solutions.  The consideration of this opportunity is what I hope governs each decision I make each day.

Practice Areas: Commercial

Robert J. Drumm began practicing law in 2002, graduating with top honors (Order of the Coif) from the University of Kansas School of Law after working several years in the printing and packaging industries. He holds a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree from Texas Tech University. Robert is licensed to practice in Kansas and Missouri.. Robert brings a unique background to his transactional practice areas. He practiced as an associate at a large Kansas City law firm in one of the region's leading real estate practice groups, and in business transactions with a large international firm. Robert then served as associate general counsel to a publicly-traded real estate investment trust, where he ran over $2 billion in acquisitions, dispositions and financing; he advised asset management and development teams; and he assisted in corporate governance and securities compliance. He also managed outside counsel and provided strategic guidance to the company in disputes ranging from small landlord-tenant cases to high-stakes litigation.. Robert’s background also includes five years as an entrepreneur. He built a small, home-based packaging supply company into a well-known and respected supplier serving the craft beverage industry, with a nationally-focused sales staff and a traditional bricks-and-mortar presence. After selling the business to investors from a private equity group, he refocused on his transactional practice and worked both independently and with a middle-market firm in Kansas City.. Robert’s background as in-house counsel for a publicly-traded company, as a small business owner, and real estate investor helps him stay focused on the real-world objectives behind legal matters—whether they be transactions, compliance issues, or litigation—and he especially enjoys working with entrepreneurs in planning for growth, in addressing challenges, and in smoothing out the inevitable transitions in the life cycle of a business or a real estate asset. He also enjoys working with churches and charitable organizations in real estate and organizational management projects.. Most of Robert’s time outside the office is devoted to his wife and five children, and to activities at his family’s third-generation farm in Coffey County, Kansas.. Robert approaches every engagement with these three fundamentals in mind:. 1.  Risk is to be managed, not avoided. An objective advisor can help you assess those risks, and a good negotiator can help you mitigate them, but risk-taking is a part of every successful business or real estate venture. A lawyer should understand that and won't tell you "no," but rather "the potential consequences of that action are....". 2.  Avoid sweeping things under the rug and kicking cans down the road. Business and real estate principals should have those awkward conversations and consider contingencies early on, before issues arise. If they hit these question head-on, they’ll have better results and better relationships down the road when it comes time to divide the pot of gold—or the pile of manure—before they encounter it.. 3. Good legal work can’t fix bad deals. I stand ready to help clients go beyond the financial reports and the legal documents to assess their strategic options holistically, so that they know who they’re dealing with and how a business or real estate project really works before they commit themselves to a course of action. I'd rather help you avoid a mistake than help you work your way out of it.
