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.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY
David took 100% of my fear and confusion off my hands during a time I needed legal assistance, and had no idea who to turn to. Not only did he tell me EXACTLY what to do and how to do it, he is a genuinely great person and gave me 110% of his attention and guidance when he probably had a million othe...

Great Lawyer!
He has assisted my family throughout the years, with DUI and other traffic tickets. He has always gotten us great results, and the communication was terrific.

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...

A class act !
Absolutely the best lawyer available in the Kansas City downtown area. He was able to get a trespassing ticket from the Power & Light District dismissed without an appearance in court or court costs.

"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."
