Mr. O'Connor will change your opinion of lawyers

Top notch law firm. I hired Matt when I found myself in two separate legal cases, and had fired several lawyers. I came to him with an extremely low opinion of the ethics, morals, and skill set, of lawyers in general. You can feel the difference the first time you walk through the door, and you will ...believe your case is his only case. My legal matters were a high conflict custody case and a large internet defamation case. Matt is highly skilled in the courtroom, and puts his energy where it counts. On you and your case. He runs his Firm with integrity, and you will walk away from your case having a genuine friend. A lawyer with excellent law skills and excellent people skills. Hands down the superior choice of Council in Kansas City.

Passion for Truth and Justice

Mr. O’Connor is a one of a kind attorney. He is not an attorney that only takes the cases he can win. He takes the cases he truly believes in. He not only seeks the truth and justice in each case he has, but also builds a personal connection with his clients, thus allowing for a passionate aggress...ive defense for justice to be served.

Unwavering in pursuit of Justice!

My wife and I were falsely accused of crimes, we didn't commit. All other lawyers, plus the one I hired seem skeptical to take on the prosecutor. Fortunatly for us he referred us to Matthew O'Connor. I knew in the first minute of our meeting that we had found our man. Not one time did I feel that... we weren't taken care of. I could use all of the cliches but they wouldn't do him justice for the job he did. What I will say is that without Matthew it is hard telling where our lives would be. Matt is a bulldog in the courtroom. Everytime we met resistance from the prosecutor by defending ourselves. Like more charges against us, or charges levied at other family members he never blinked and stood tall and never backed down. Needless to say we won hands down. Watching how other attorneys reacted to Matt confirmed to me what kind of lawyer he is. The fact that he is a two time Super Lawyer by his peers says alot about him and his talents. I swear at times I thought we were his only clients. I could go on and on but to get to the point my son is in a sticky situation and Yes we have hired Matt again to be our lawyer.

Excellent Representation

A true professional. Not afraid to rattle cages in his pursuit of justice. The best compliment I could give him is I would not want to have him as opposing counsel.

A Friend in your corner

I encountered a nuisance suit that clearly lacked merit but I had no idea how to proceed. I contact Mr. O'Connor who guided me through the process and kept my emotional spirits on path. In summary, the plaintiff backed down and the case has long since been closed. Since then I have consulted with ...Matt on issues as they arise and found his direction invaluable. THANK YOU MATT
