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.

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 t...he "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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
