Someone You Can Trust!

I got a little unlucky a few years ago and found myself caught in a sting operation by the KCMO police. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck. I found Mr. Lurie's listing in the yellow pages and called his office. He saw me the next day, and I knew I came to the right place. His knowledge of the... KCMO legal environment was invaluable. He is easy to talk to and a good listener. I hired Mr. Lurie immediately. He took exactly the right steps to defend my case. To make a long story short, a few months later, he called me with some very good news -- my case had been dismissed. Just recently, I called Mr. Lurie from out of state regarding an unrelated matter. I needed some advice from someone I could trust. He spoke to me on the phone for 20 minutes, without requesting a fee, just to help me out. That was the second time David Lurie made it possible for me to go on with my life. If you find yourself in legal trouble, I urge you to call his office.

Cameron Cooper

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"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
