I am David M. Lurie, a Kansas City criminal defense attorney with more than 40 years of experience. I know how to structure an argument and a case to put my client in the best light possible. I build relationships that allow me to work more efficiently and more effectively for my clients. I also know exactly what it takes to analyze a case and the weaknesses and strengths of the prosecutor's case to custom-craft a result for each client.
Whatever you are being charged with, chances are good that I've helped someone in a similar situation before. I will draw on this experience, as well as the facts of your specific situation, to help the authorities see you as the good person you are so we can minimize the punishment you may face.

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...

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 ...

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...
"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"
"I endorse this lawyer. David is one of the best defense lawyers in the Kansas City area. He is a leader in the bar and frequently presents at Continuing Legal Education seminars for other lawyers."
