Best Lawyers in the K.C. Metro!!

David Fairbanks has been amazing leading and guiding me on my divorce journey! I highly recommended him and his firm. I actually provided his information just an hour ago to a personal friend who is just starting his own process!

I hired John DeMarco to represent my interests involved in a meritless elder abuse case, which ended up being dismissed for lack of finding. John did the legwork behind the scenes to find out if this was going down the road of prosecution, and leveraged his relationships to discover charges weren't going to be filed - and not to communicate with repeated requests from state agencies and police. I appreciated his aggressive approach at protecting my interests, and how candid and straight forward he handled my work. I've recommended others to him as well.

Mr. Fairbanks assisted me with My divorce. The entire case was handled very smoothly, promptly, and professionally.He has a great personality and gives great legal advice as well. I would refer him to anyone who wishes to have an excellent experience handling whatever legal matters they are trying to accomplish.

Marvelous set of people and great to work with! So friendly and so passionate in what they do! Highly recommend doing business with them!!

I hired John DeMarco for representation for a few things over the years. He never fails to impress and always gets your the results you’re looking for. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very well versed, great communication. Treated with respect and was more than just another case. I would recommend John to anyone. Exemplary service.

Would highly recommend John Demarco. He responds back in a reasonable amount of time with messages whether it's via text or phone call. He doesn't leave you hanging for 35 days like some attorneys. He's excellent inside the court room, understands the laws and goes above and beyond to win your case. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend! They are not only extremely effective, but they are also empathetic and are always reachable. I cannot say enough positive things about this firm.

I hired David Fairbanks to represent me in an ongoing, ugly civil case in which I was the respondent. I had already been represented (poorly), and then also completely “ghosted” by the first lawyer I had hired for this same case a year before. She had done a sad, cliche thing that makes people not trust lawyers in general - took my money, solved nothing, then just randomly disappeared and refused to respond to countless calls, emails, etc. Needless to say, I felt completely drained, frustrated and not at all optimistic, but I knew I still had to do something. So I took a recommendation and put the tiniest sliver of trust I had left in David. I also have lived out of state for over a year at the time of hiring him so he had the extra daunting tasks of having to jump in way late to the case, and to conduct everything from an entirely different state and time zone. He really didn’t miss a beat though. I was initially just pleasantly surprised that he was able to sift through what seemed like piles of garbage baggage from the previous messes and poor handling by both my own vanished counsel as well as the petitioner’s counsels’s insane tactics. David remained cool, calm and collected, as he navigated that nonsense, carried my case through many motions, another lengthy mediation session AND even all the way through an actual trial with a judge, which I understand is not terribly common with these types of cases as most people are much more reasonable than my nightmare of a family member. The trial was overwhelming for me as I just wanted this to leave me alone already, and I was just doing my best to protect the best interests for my young child (I’m a single mother, with no support and this whole miserable experience could easily have shattered me completely if I hadn’t had the great fortune to find David as it was coming to a complete boiling over time). I greatly appreciated the time he took to get a true sense of me, my personal history and the case overall. He gave me a lot of confidence because I “knew” I had been doing the right thing, but the insane amount of emotional abuse had begun to wear me down and I really was beginning to doubt anyone would EVER hear me, much less understand and actually advocate for my child and me. I was, thankfully, wrong - David did all of that and more - he completely took over and handled all the heavy lifting. I felt comfortable speaking with him openly, and I could relate to his demeanor easily as he was professional yet kept it clear, realistic and down to earth. He even made me laugh a few times which I thought was impossible by that point! MOST importantly, however, he WON the case at trial - completely slayed really - it looked as though he could have run circles around the other attorney, and the judge ruled wholly in my favor, as well as ordered attorney fees paid/reimbursed to me in full by the petitioner. I would recommend David Fairbanks to anyone, without hesitation. If you find yourself or any loved one in a situation and need an honest, respectful, and truly superior family law attorney, this is who you hire. Thank you, thank you David (and Dottie who is his office manager, and is a gem of a human as well!!)

David Fairbanks, John Demarco, and their Office Manager Dottie are the most professional associates that I have worked with in the legal field. Not only are they all extremely knowledgeable and professional, they are beyond compassionate and approachable for any and all legal matters. I highly recommend my friends and professional colleagues to work with this firm as I know they will be well taken care of.

After being falsely accused of events by an ex. I quickly scoured the internet for a legal defense team to help me take the best course of action. John Demarco is a great attorney who takes the time to hear your case and will give you honest feedback from the very beginning. John also shows a great deal of empathy for his clients and understands that they are people and not just dollar signs. He takes his time to direct and steer you with his expansive knowledge of the law and to guide you to the best path possible, but he never leads. He is a man of integrity, honesty and will tell you to your face what you need to hear and not stroke your ego and tell you what you want to hear. I genuinely appreciate John more than he probably knows and I now have my life back and can move on from my past. Thank you John and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who is looking for a legal defense team to seek John and his associates.

David was great to work with! This was my first experience with an attorney and he explained everything in detail, made sure I understood the process and answered all my questions in a friendly and helpful way. He and his team were very prompt with replying and communicating with me throughout the process as well. I am glad I had David to help me as he made it as easy and painless as possible.
