A top-notch Lawyer who goes Above and Beyond!

Mr. Lurie is a top-notch lawyer who not only helped me get a positive outcome that saved me money and serious consequences, but he was there for me every step of the way. David was very thorough and transparent with me, and was more than willing to explain anything I did not understand or had forgott...en along the way. I called him several times and he welcomed any question or concern. David went above and beyond by providing guidance to me on some related aspects of the case. What I appreciate most about David is that he did everything he could to reduce stress for me. Mr. Lurie is truly an exceptional lawyer who I would recommend to anyone.

Both knowledgeable and empathetic, just what you need when you could use some help

I was an out of state client with know knowledge of the Kansas City courts or how to deal with my case. I felt completely lost and overwhelmed but was fortunate enough to find David Lurie. I could not have found a better person to help me in a tough time. He could have very easily taken advantage of ...me not knowing what to do, but very calmly and kindly walked me through all of my options. He spoke with a confidence that only his experience and skill could bring, and I felt more at ease the more he assured me that he knew what would be best for me. After leaving my case in Mr. Lurie's hands, everything I needed to do was clearly explained and he was there to help me with any questions. I never felt pressured or that my case was a burden to him, but instead was treated with respect. I greatly appreciate his help and allowing me to be able to move on from a mistake and live my life.

Great service

Knowledgable, down to earth, and takes the time out to carefully explain all the legal "lingo" that can be confusing. Very reasonable pricing. He's well known and respected amongst his peers and he also has a ton of experience. He made me feel as if my case was his most important case and that made m...e feel a lot more at ease. I definitely recommend this attorney... More because of his character as a person along with his skills as an attorney.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David gets results on all types of cases by being very familiar with the courts, judges, prosecutors, and probation and other services providers in the criminal justice system. David is, hands down, probably the most respectable, compassionate, caring, and trustworthy attorney that I've encountered in Kansas City. I say that there is David's way, and then most everyone else's. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach with him. David recognizes and addresses a client's livelihood, situation, background, and life plans in handling the most sensitive of criminal charges. David has both the conceptual and the procedural knowledge to either (a) know the answer, or (b) know how to find the answer in an ever-changing legal environment. With his knowledge, he is able to address, clearly and head-on, the prospects of success on a case, and the chances of achieving those different possible outcomes. David also helps his clients with the tools they need in order to cope"

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
