Customer's reviews

When I first got injured, I was completely lost. My job was denying my claims of worker’s compensation for a plain and simple motor vehicle accident. But, Brett Coppage is a lifesaver! He helped me get the compensation I was due for my treatments, guided me through a plan of action and helped me come out with a settlement plan that not only addressed my prognosis and previous treatments, but helped me secure a financial foundation to move forward in lieu of the full and free life that, as a result of one driver’s tragic negligence, I’ve now had to learn to forego. Our family trusts E&T to handle our employee claims promptly, thoroughly, and most of all: fairly. They know the law, and they don’t let insurance companies exploit legal loopholes. ~ Rourke C
Edelman & Thompson Did an amazing job with my work injury. I live in Harrisonville and work in Spring Hill. I was having issues with the insurance and as soon as I hired this team I got the treatment I needed. I would recommend this law firm to everyone! Everyone I worked with at the firm was amazing!! Special thank you to Rob and Shelby for their patience and long suffering through this whole process! Ron thank you for taking the time to walk me through things and helping to represent me and making sure I got treatment! Shelby I appreciate all the communication back and forth, answering questions and helping me to feel valued through this lengthy process!! I appreciate you both very much!!! I look forward to working with you again, if need be, in the future!! Thank you again!! ~ Richard C
I was recently in an auto accident where I was struck from behind by an over the road truck driver. Knowing that this would be far more involved than a typical accident resolution, I knew this wasn't something I wanted to try handling on my own. My doctor's office had given me a list of recommended lawyers, but had specifically pointed out Leah Mason and Edelman & Thompson on the list, so I reached out to her first. I can't begin to imagine how I would have navigated this without her and her team. She was on top of everything every step of the way and kept me in the loop the whole time, and the whole process went more smoothly than I could have hoped. Hopefully I'll never need such services again, but if I do, I know exactly who I'm calling. ~ Dan C
