Helping You Move Forward After An Injury

Sometimes, we wish that there was a magic button we could push – a restart button that would return things to the way they were before an accident. Unfortunately, there isn’t one, and many personal injury victims face permanent changes to their lives. One thing our legal system does, however, is provide a path to financial compensation to personal injury victims. We can help you pursue the relief and justice you deserve.

Who Looks After You When Your Employer Does Not Play By The Rules?

An employer is supposed to provide you with a safe working environment where you are respected and treated fairly. While you should not have to worry about sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation for reporting such infractions, not all employers stand by their employees the way they should.

Fortunately, there are legal remedies for people who have been victims of workplace mistreatment and adverse employment actions. Our attorneys have extensive experience standing up for the rights of employees.

Testimonials

“Doug, I just wanted to say thank you—not just for the outcome, but for the way you handled this entire process.

Watching you work through this was something special. Your experience and instincts were evident at every step, but what I really appreciated was your openness to new approaches and tools along the way. Not everyone at your level is willing to lean into that, and I think that combination of perspective, experience, discipline, and adaptability made a real difference in how this came together.

From my seat, it truly felt like a masterclass in negotiation—steady, thoughtful, and always moving the ball forward without overplaying anything.

I’m genuinely grateful to have had the chance to work through this with you.

Thank you again and have a great weekend!”


– Kyle

“My Texas hats are all off to you and your care of Terri Schmitt. Your work is very much appreciated.”


– Sandra C. Kalman

“Doug is a rare thing in a lawyer – indeed in any person – he has great courage as well as brains. He worked tirelessly to use his skill to correct a great injustice done to us, and succeeded where most people who not have tried. He is a very good man – and he is also a very resourceful, creative and effective lawyer”


– The Honorable Mark Funkhouser, Kansas City Mayor 2007-2011
