The Man to See

There are good and even excellent criminal defense attorneys in the Kansas City area; however, Kevin is the best. What differentiates him and the Regan Firm are the ability to attack impossible issues with the client's life at the forefront. More than a results lawyer, he is a practitioner. For a fam...ily member, loved one, or valued client, the Regan Firm is the first, and really the only, choice. Generally, you get what you pay for when it comes to representation. But those who are experienced and understand know that there are good and then there are great. Kevin and the Regan Firm are great. They achieved the desired result but solved more than just the legal challenge. The practice has a just and compassionate style. This not only provides a solution, and ensures a client's freedom, but creates an opportunity to recover and preserve lives and dignity. That is the most valuable service in the long-term.

An amazing outcome!

Kevin is amazing at handling criminal cases. He knows how to navigate and guide a client to the best outcome of a case. I cannot imagine any other lawyer being as seasoned and able to achieve such high success. I will forever be thankful for picking Kevin to represent me. He saved my life and my son'...s too in my opinion. I would recommend Kevin to anyone.

Mr.Regan

Reviews and words are great! Actions and Results are proof. From Mr.Regan to Jennifer and his Son, I always felt like a priority. His knowledge and ability to get the best possible outcome is unmatched. He always kept me in the loop, answered any and all questions promptly and treated me like his own.... Mr.Regan saved my life, my sanity, my freedom, and most of all my family. I’m so fortunate to have him in my life. He made the impossible, Possible!!! Wouldn’t think twice about ever hiring another attorney!

Highly recommended.

My experience with the Ragan Law Firm was exceptional. Mr Ragan’s years of legal experience was obvious (and comforting) as he ensured the proper due diligence was applied to my DUI case, resulting in all charges being dropped. He exceeded all my expectations and I’m so thankful to have him as a lawy...er.

Thankful Client

Mr. Regan has represented me three separate times. Twice were serious charges where I thought I was going to do time. Not only do I still have my freedom but Kevin has also helped me get my life back on track. Kevin, is the only person I would want protecting my freedom. Peace of mind is what you... get from him. The lawyer you want to have on your side.
