Mr. Pietz is a wonderful, patient, caring, and a thorough lawyer.
He has a very calm demeanor which made me calm. Talks in a manor that is comfortable (not a fast talker), and does not cut you off when you are talking. Very tentative to your needs and concerns. He will confirm with you if you understand and if you have any questions. Very detailed in explaining the process in a way that you will understand. Mr. Pietz will call you and give you updates I never had to call him. My family and I really appreciate all the hard work he has done. We will refer him to family, friends and even strangers.
My case, WOW!!! It was more than I would ever expect! Again my family and especially me will be FOREVER GRATEFUL and will never forget Mr. James T. Pietz's! I surely will keep in contact with him.
Mr, Pietz is the Best Lawyer EVER!

We were so lucky to have our path cross with Jim Witteman. He is honest, cares about his clients and works towards justice. Even though our interaction was brief, he made our case his highest priority and resolved our issue considerably faster than we could have ever expected. If you have a legal issue within Jim's area of expertise, you can't do better than retaining him for your legal representation.

Mr. Gilmore is very detailed and works very hard to understand his clients needs and concerns. He is very aware that input from a client is meaningful and tries to hear every concern to better defend his clients rights. He is not afraid to be honest about outcomes or expectations that will arise in your case. But what makes him different than other attorneys is not just legal knowledge or his court experience. It’s his passion for the “Cause”, this is hard to find among attorneys these days. Mr. Gilmore is passionate about defending the rights and needs of his clients. It’s not just a business relationship but a team effort to obtain a goal that the law supports.

I had several tickets piled on me by the KCMO cops that stopped me for looking like I was in the wrong place. Clint took them to court and got the tickets tossed out cause the cops did not have a good reason to stop me. Regular guy easy to talk and be honest with.

After a failed first attempt with another attorney, I was referred to Mr Cushing who knew the ropes on exactly how to process all the right paperwork -- the first time -- for the suit to prove causation and he already had professional relationships with expert contacts and lined them up quickly to minimize the wait time. He level set expectations with me about how long the process would take and turns out he was accurate within a few weeks. He was compassionate and gave me and my family peace of mind as he listened and talked with us about coping. If I ever need help again, I would definitely go back to him and I have recommended him to others.

I couldn’t have had a better experience with Lex Launch! I had to call back a bunch of times because of issues on my end but Dana was so helpful and nice each and everytime I called. She told me a timeframe and stuck to it! Their whole process was so fast and efficient that I was at the bank with everything I needed to for my LLC bank account in just a short while. Thank you so much Lex Launch for forming my LLC!!

Jonathan Lourenco is the very epitome of what a lawyer should be! When I went to him for the first time, I was very nervous, but he made the first visit not so scary! He was nonjudgmental and I felt that he actually cared about my case! He was always available and responded quickly via email or calls. His wealth of knowledge and understanding of my case was very reassuring to me. He was honest and to the point. The last year has been overwhelming for me, but he made a difference in my life and for that I will always be thankful for him! If you need a lawyer, he is the one you need to contact! He won't disappoint!!!

Amber and Angela did an amazing job getting everything together in a timely fashion to help me get through a difficult time. I also loved the fact that they didn’t bother me constantly about certain things they just handled it which helped keep me calm and able to move on like I said in this difficult time. 10/10 definitely recommend! If I ever need a lawyer for anything else, I will definitely be coming back!

I cannot express how disappointed and frustrated I am with this attorney. From the very beginning, it was clear that they had little to no interest in my case. Communication was almost nonexistent, and I had to repeatedly chase them for updates, only to get vague responses or no response at all. At one point, I had to explain the details of my case over and over because they seemed to forget key facts every time we spoke. Not only was there a complete lack of professionalism, but the attorney also seemed unprepared in court and failed to present a coherent argument. I paid a significant amount of money for services that were ultimately useless. To top it off, they were extremely condescending and dismissive whenever I expressed concerns. It felt like I was just another number to them. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want someone who genuinely cares about your case. This attorney is completely incompetent and untrustworthy!

Thanks for all your support and guidance with the finalization of my divorce. The staff here is great, straight to the point, and easy to work with. I found the process to be assuring after working with Geib Law Group, they’ve provided equanimity to life. The services provided through this office aren’t fugacious. The outcome provided me a guaranteed better future, and exorbitant amount of stress lifted after months of aberration.

Kristen Buzzelli did a fantastic job representing me through a very difficult, emotional divorce with two children involved. It went to trial due to mediation being unsuccessful (only 5% of divorces go to trial). I originally selected Kristen based on her past social work and current family law experience. I found her to be a great listener, empathetic, supportive, patient, understanding, honest and real even when it was hard to hear as the client. Kristen is a very ambitious lawyer determined to represent her clients to the fullest of her abilities to get the best outcome possible. For any legal needs I have in the future, I will definitely hire Kristen Buzzelli!

Second time I've used Kristen's services. First time was years ago when she worked for a big law firm. Second time, my case was finished this year.
I'm 100% satisfied with all aspects of her own law firm: Amazing staff, professional, family feel, straightforward, honest, got me the best results I could get quickly, knowledgeable, prompt to get answers or get back to me, and kid first focus.
The kid first focus is the way it should be! :) Her being honest, straightforward, and knowledgeable made things very smooth and quick.
Only possible negative is the retainer fee is higher than some. I'd still 100% recommend someone retaining her services.

I hired him and so did my cousin for the same type of case. Parental Alienation- Custody problems. The same result in both cases. Dennis didnt know what he was doing. Didnt prepare for anything. Couldnt speak in court as a knowledgeable attorney. He left me to represent myself so that he could go defend a Jeffco judge in a divorce case. I fired him and hired an amazing attorney who wrapped up everything in my case beautifully. Then Dennis sued me for 12k when he clearly didnt do the work. When i fired him i owed him 2 maybe 3 grand. Not 12. Well, Dennis just seized and garnished my bank account for 12k, didnt notify me of any hearings. He is COMPLETLY underhanded and should not be practicing law. PERIOD.

hired Dennis Bonner' law firm in June 2012 to represent me in a simple child support/visitation case. I deployed to Afghanistan in January 2013 and in March 2013, Dennis Bonner informed me of his motion to withdraw from the case. The motion to withdraw took me by total surprise especially since I had provided Mr. Bonner with all items and documents that he had requested before I deployed. After talking with Dennis Bonner, he decided to continue to represent me in my case while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I put my full trust in Mr. Dennis Bonner; however, in my absence, I found out that Mr. Bonner had missed court appearances. In addition, Mr. Bonner rarely emailed or called me and totally failed to inform me of the status of my case. I was not made aware of any case hearings and I found out about case ruling month's after they had been ruled on and to add insult to injury, I found out case rulings thru the opposing party. Again, I was informed by the opposing party -month's later -of the outcome of my case, not by my hired attorney
Mr. Bonner's inadvertence and excusable neglect were clearly recognizable and on display in my case. I put my full and complete trust in Mr. Dennis Bonner and he misrepresented and essentially neglected my case. I would not recommend Mr. Bonner as an attorney to any client.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
