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.

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.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
