I started at Polsinelli, White, Vardeman, & Shalton as a corporate lawyer, but soon found my calling as a trial lawyer.  

 

I have worked on just about every imaginable type of personal injury matter.  I have found my niche' in the area of worker's compensation and motor vehicle accidents. Although, I still do a little of everything "personal injury."

 

I am married with two college aged children.  I am a drummer in a rock band that plays a variety of establishments in the KC Metro Area.

 

I also consider myself an avid sports fan.

One that takes something bad and makes something good happen
I have used this attorneys office for 30 plus years. I would not use any other for legal matter. They stay on top of matters and I feel this is the best law firm in the kc area. So this is the one you need.Michaelanthony Van Alst op ks

Bill was referred by a friend to handle my workers compensation case. He had the contacts that allowed me to finally get the medical care I needed. He was always answered my calls. I have referred two other people to him.

Best attorney in K.C.!
Mr. Bill Manson handled a personal injury (car accident) case for me 12 years ago and a more recent worker's compensation case. I can't say enough about his knowledge of the legal processes, avenues/strategies to win your cases and his network of contacts. Above all, his patience in explaining all the "legalese" to an anxious client such as me, is unprecedented. He always was available to speak with me and his staff is kind, knowledgeable and very caring towards injured people. They understand our needs for limited walking to meetings, they will come to your home, if needed, and they set up meetings convenient to your schedule. Mr. Bill Manson answers your questions before you can even speak it because he's so knowledgeable, he's thinking that fast, that he is way ahead of your thoughts/questions! Both cases he handled had very good outcomes for me and I would hire him again!

Outstanding Attorney!
Outstanding! We have had a few instances over the years in our family involving both personal injury and workers compensation. Bill handled all of those situations and was able to achieve more than we had hoped. He is fantastic! If you want great results plus an attorney that cares and speaks English to you, then I strongly recommend Bill.

Bill Manson - Personal Injury Attorney
Bill is a fantastic attorney. He is compassionate and thoughtful in his approach, and diligent about planning his strategy. In working my case, he navigated law and regulations across multiple states and was able to clearly communicate the options and impact to me. His office delivered high quality services and I would retain him again.

Great experience with great guidance
I was injured on the job and had no clue what to do. Great guidance and help. I felt much more at ease having him there to help with questions. Very knowledgable and great communication. He settled my case and left me with little worries with future health and financial needs.

Work comp. attorney
Mr. Manson is very knowledgable of Kansas and Missouri laws. I never had to wait very long to get some sort of a reply from Mr. Manson whenever I had questions about my case. Mr. Manson has always been able to explain things to me in a way that I could understand. Even with all of his experience and knowledge there are some fields of the law that Mr. Manson was not professionally able to help me with, but he knew exceptionable people to refer me to. I guess I would say in some form or another Mr. Manson was always able to help me with all of my legal needs, resulting from my work accident.

Mr Manson knows work comp law better than anyone I know . When I had a career ending injury, Bill was there for me from beginning to end . He kept me informed , returned my phone calls promptly and was always there for whatever I needed . I can't say enough about this guy. If you have an injury whether Kansas or Missouri , Bill will take care of it . Call him now !!

Patient, Kind and Honest
I can't imagine having used any other attorney for my work comp/personal injury case. He has gone above and beyond what I imagined. He always responded to my calls or email quickly - even in on nights and weekends. Bill was always straight up with what to expect and how long the case would take. Bill was very kind and patient as I mentioned in Review Title. I am thankful to have found an attorney that worked so hard and diligently. And his assistants were always very helpful as well. I never felt like I was bothering anyone when I inquired on my cases. I would highly recommend him. He has years of experience and integrity.
