The first time I stepped in front of a jury, I knew I'd found my calling. I'm a trial lawyer. I try cases because I enjoy helping ordinary people who have been hurt or wronged by another person, a product, or a corporation. I truly care about my clients and their cause, and I welcome the opportunity to hear about your case.
I've been fortunate to win many trials early in my career, and it's through those successes that I have leverage to negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of my clients before we decide to go to trial. Most people, including some lawyers, don't understand that without a track record of wins at trial, a lawyer has no stock-in-trade to negotiate settlements or truly understand the value of a case. In an age where most attorneys rarely see the inside of the courtroom, I am in a rather unique position in this regard. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your case.

A True Powerhouse
Hiring Stephen Voorhees to represent me in my car accident litigation was the best choice I could have made. He is professional, kind, knows his stuff inside and out - and he helped me through a terrible, four-year fight that ended happily, thanks to his tireless efforts. He and his paralegal, Liz, w...

My sincere thanks for a job well done
After my motor vehicle collision I received injuries that left me in need of medical care treatments and therapies. I found myself non employable, building debt and not knowing how long I would be in that position. With a massive amount of paperwork, on going appointments, calls etc., I was overwh...

Excellent Attorney!
Two year ago, I was involved in an accident that resulted in personal injury that I was left to pay for out of pocket. I was referred to Stephen by my aunt, who also had a great experience with him. Initially, I was very nervous about consulting with an attorney as I had never been involved in a la...

Hard working, Compassionate, and Honest
It was a pleasure working with Steven on my case. He was hard working, knowledgeable, and honest. Steven made me feel completely comfortable despite my lack of knowledge of legal world. I never saw myself ever needing an attorney but last year, unfortunately an incident happened where I needed lega...
"Stephen's knowledge and experience are second to none in the area of personal injury law, and I would give him my highest recommendation to anyone who has been injured as a result of the negligence of another. I would especially recommend Stephen to anyone seeking an attorney to represent them in complex injury cases, multi-vehicle auto accidents, trucking accidents, or any case involving serious injury or death. His knowledge, compassion, and attention to detail make him uniquely qualified to represent clients in such circumstances. He is a highly competent attorney who always provides his clients with the highest caliber of legal representation, no matter the size or degree of complexity of the case."
"I endorse Mr. Voorhees. He is an excellent trial lawyer and is willing to try very difficult cases. He also cares very deeply for his clients."
"Steve Voorhees is an excellent attorney. His results speak for themselves but if you aren't familiar; this man is a winner. He will settle a case if it is fair for his client BUT he will take it to trial and win if the insurance company tries to low-ball. The fact that insurance companies know of this reputation means that they will take heed when they see his name on a case and offer higher settlements to avoid losing at trial. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Voorhees is one of those rare attorneys with the legal expertise to win any case and the character to match. His continuing success at trial and accomplishments outside the courtroom has fashioned him into one of the most formidable attorneys in Kansas City and a trial attorney that any client should feel blessed to have in their corner."
"I have known Steve for a number of years and I recently had the opportunity to work with him in a personal injury trial. From the moment I began to review his case files I was impressed with the quality of his work and the attention he devotes to his clients. Steve is constantly working to improve and develop his skills, both in and out of the courtroom, and his hard work consistently results in outstanding results for his firm and his clients. If you or a loved one has suffered in an auto accident or other personal injuries, and believe you are in need of an attorney, I would highly recommend that you contact Steve and he will go above and beyond to ensure that you receive the best result possible."
"Stephen is a hard working personal injury attorney who fights to obtain the best possible results for his clients. Steve's ambition, coupled with his dedication to his clients, make him an excellent trial lawyer."
