This law firm is exceptional. My attorney was Elizabeth And her paralegal, Julie. They were so much more than just lawyers for me! They were there for me mentally & emotionally every step of the way. Liz would answer a call at 8pm on a Sunday if I needed her! She goes above and beyond for her clients! Julie her paralegal does as well! I built a bond with them and I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through this process without them! They are more than just lawyers. They are exceptional at their job but they also allow themselves to be human and truly understand what you are going through! I thank God for them! If you need a lawyer for any personal injuries or anything contact Elizabeth! I promise it will be the best decision you ever make! I was truly blessed to have this team! ~ Brittany R

When you get injured on the job. Do you know who to call? I do! Don't go at it alone. You can call former judge- Attorney Mr. Carl Mueller. He will get the job done. I've had the pleasure to work with him for the past several years. While recently finishing a case in 2025. With the utmost respect Mr. Mueller worked for me. He answered and returned phone calls, emails, sent letters, etc. I was always informed and knew what was going on with my cases. No Worries! I began to feel like "family" instead of a client. It's been a great experience working with Mr. Carl Mueller and Erica. No Exceptions- I will always call on Attorney Mr. Carl Mueller for representation/consultation. Thank you! again Mr. Carl Mueller. -Bonnie H. ~ Bonnie H

EDELMAN & THOMPSON LLC John Thompson and his team of professionals were wonderful to work with, I contacted Thompson and his team after my accident and they were concerned, responsive and professional the entire process, in starting my case I was a little skeptical and unsure what was going to happen, but this team made me feel at ease and made me feel like family. My case was handled quickly and efficiently, John and his team eased my concerns and took on the stress of my injuries as their own. I’m forever grateful for all the hard work and compassion they expressed to me the entire journey. I Recommend Edelman & Thompson as the best Accident, Injury & Death Lawyers in Kansas City MO. Sincerely, JHF ~ Jeremy F

I very very sincerely want to give a heartfelt thank you to Brendan Buckley, my lawyer at Edelman and Thompson and let others know to call him for any kind of injuries that you receive. I hope no one gets injured and I hated that I had a car accident that led me to him in the first place. I had never had a car accident before in my 30+ years of driving, but when someone pulled out in front of me suddenly and there was no where to go to avoid them, the accident happened! I am so grateful that I called them and told them about my injuries and they accepted my case. Having him on my side was a true relief while I was going through everything. Having the accident was so scary and he made it to where I didn't have to worry about anything, he took care of all the details and got me a fair settlement and I really am grateful! ~ Deborah T

Edelman And Thompson Lawyers did me right. Mr. John Thompson went out of his way to explain my case to me. When Mr. Thompson received any kind of notification about my case he emailed me just as soon as he could to keep me abreast of the situation. When you see the commercial on TV of Edelman and Thompson Law firm when they say they are the number one worker compensation lawyers in Kansas City they are right. Mr. Thompson fought to get me more than what the workers compensation people wanted to give me. If I would ever get hurt again which I hope I never do I have to work with Worker’s Compensation again I would phone Edelman and Thompson law firm to represent me and to request John Thompson as a lawyer. Mr. Thompson would phone me in the evenings and on weekends to let me know how everything was going. ~ Michael J

I have availed myself of the services of Mike White from Edelman and Thompson once personally, and twice have used a referral from him or his office to settle other legal matters. In each case, the service I received was both prompt and severely effective, resulting in a large settlement from my medical insurance company in the one instance, and successful court victories in the other two instances. Mike is the kind of lawyer who wants to take the time to understand the nuance of your case, even if that doesn't necessarily translate into a padded legal bill for him and his team. It's part of what gets their job done so effectively, and I strongly recommend consulting with Edelman and Thompson for any legal matters you might be concerned with. If they don't do it themselves, they'll recommend someone they trust who does. ~ The W

I can’t even find words to express what an amazing attorney Brendan Buckley is!!!! I had car accident in January 2019 that lead to me having a severe concussion for 8 weeks and 2 spinal surgeries. I contacted Brendan the day after my accident just to get his opinion on the situation since I had a prior neck surgery in July 2017. It’s a good thing I made that call to him because 4 days later my concussion set in and things from there just kept falling apart for me. Brendan took care of everything for me during the time I had my concussion since I couldn’t see correctly or think straight. We settled just recently and I got everything I deserved for what I put through in 2019. Brendan was very informative through the whole 2 years this went on and not once did I doubt him! Fantastic attorney....working for a fantastic law firm! ~ Stephanie R

My accident left me feeling less like a person until I chose Edelman and Thompson. My attorney made me feel heard and important after my accident and that alone helped me heal. This firm works hard and diligently to bring a sense of comfort and relief to an already stressful situation that an accident can cause. When choosing the right attorney you should feel like the burden of an incident is not yours alone and that is exactly how I have felt since I came to Edelman and Thompson for help. Thank you to an extraordinary team for always making me feel like a priority and having not only my best interest at heart but my family as well. You are an amazing firm that I highly recommend. ~ Khyla S

I could not have made a better choice the Edelman & Thompson. I have never been in a situation like this before. I was nervous, scared, doubtful and lost. But after my initial consult with Ron Edelman, I felt better with the direction I needed to go. They covered everything , always kept me informed and updated with my case. They were always available for my questions and concerns, even on the weekends I could call and get a response if needed. I put my trust in Edelman & Thompson, I didn't have to worry anything. I will definitely recommend them to any and everyone that will listen to me. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made, this decision effect my life & my family. They took care of us emotionally through this chapter in my life. I would give more than 5 stars if it was an option. I can't say thank you enough for everything you have done for my family. Thank you again. ~ Dawn H

I have retained the services of Edelman & Thompson for 2 separate situations & the thing that stands out the most from my attorney Carl Mueller, asst Erica Smiley, you begin as a client & finish as family. The humble professionalism & consistent care & concern is like no other. I was very informed & pleased with every step of the process. Carl is diligent & definitely makes sure the outcome for his client will be positive & delivers efficiency with every aspect. Hands down the #1 law firm because they truly care & it shows with the consistency in winning! Carl Mueller & the entire team at Edelman & Thompson are definitely the choice you should make!!!!! ~ Marcus B

Working with Ron Edelman through the pandemic giving and getting depositions doctor evaluations, with most of judicial offices shut down was a miracle in itself. He is without a doubt a professional who with Steffanie Stracke combined an eye opening workers comp case in my favor. They left no stone unturned and my settlement was the hard work that they put in for four years. To say I'm satisfied would be a gross understatement.I would say that at 72 years old and having retained many attorneys for various things over the years that this has been the best of the best. Thank You so much Ron, Steffenie, and your staff for a job well done. Robert Johnson. ~ robert j

I had an unfortunate accident which left me with broken femurs and I needed a legal opinion and assistance to help me with guidance through my situation. I chose Brendon Buckley. Mr. Buckley is a personal injury attorney. From the very first contact when we met we clicked, I felt very comfortable with Mr. Buckley. He is a man of great integrity, honest with a gentle touch when relaying information, Ernest in seeking the truth. His direct and honest approach was very helpful as he continued to pursue my case. Mr. Buckley treated me with great respect and he was very empathetic with my situation. I strongly recommend Mr. Brendan Buckley for your legal needs. ~ Sharol C

Over the past seven years, I’ve had to deal with two work-related injuries, and I’m very thankful that Mr. Carl Mueller represented me both times. He and his team were great to work with and made the process much easier to handle. They stayed in touch throughout and always made sure to answer any questions or concerns I had. On both occasions, Mr. Mueller worked hard to get me the best possible outcome. What I appreciated most was how much they genuinely cared about me as a person, not just my case. That made a big difference. Hopefully, I won’t need representation again, but if I do, Mr. Mueller will be my first choice. -Tommy S. ~ Tommy S

My husband was in the ER with a work injury. From there, I submitted an online form on the firm’s website. I was astonished when Ron Edelman himself called with about 20 minutes, while we were still in the ER. We were lost and scared, but Ron answered all our questions with great detail. He had great empathy for our situation, concerns and worries. I hope we don’t have to hire another injury attorney, but if we do, Edelman & Thompson will be our first and only call. Our experience was in stark contrast to a previous work comp situation where my husband dealt with a previous work injury through a jack-of-all-trades attorney. ~ Krisxan S

Fortunately for me, my nephew recommended Brendon Buckley and the Edelman & Thompson Law Firm to represent me when I was in a car accident. I spent 8 weeks in the hospital/rehab. Brendan was everything I was hoping for and needed. His response time and knowledge of what I was going through was impeccable. He was straight forward and honest. Everything he said he would do and the results were right on. Because of his hard work not only were my medical expenses covered, my car damages your paid for by the third party insurance. I recommend Brendan for your legal needs and I will use him again if a need arises. ~ Russ H

Steffanie Strake is highly recommended if you are looking for a professional attorney who has expert knowledge in workers compensation law. Also of importance is the fact that Steffanie is respected and highly regarded in the community of law. My case was very complex and convoluted, involving multiple and overlapping layers of law. Steffanie simplified very complex processes to assure that I understood my rights and how they applied to the laws. Her transparency made it easy to trust the process. She returned phone calls in a timely manner and always took the time to assure that I understood and stayed in the know about my case. With no stones left unturned, Steffanie will do everything in her professional power to get you the results you deserve! Lastly, the office has a nice ambience and the staff have remained helpful and friendly. Thank you so much Steffanie for turning my trials into triump! ~ Tamika J

I’m a repeat client. I’ve used Edelman & Thompson twice now. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this firm. Most recently, I was in a car accident over July 4th weekend in Oklahoma. I was injured and required surgery and several months of physical therapy. The hospital bills started racking up pretty quickly. Ron Edelman handled my case. I was kept in the loop every step of the way. He and his assistant, Jim Arredondo, are very quick to return phone calls and emails. My case was settled outside of court in a very timely manner. Hands down, the best personal injury lawyers in KC area! ~ Kristi M

I hired Steffanie Stracke to handle my work comp case and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. From the beginning Steffanie was incredibly thorough, explaining the legal process in detail and setting realistic expectations. Their communication was top-notch! I always felt informed and most importantly, supported. Steffanie demonstrated exceptional skill with her negotiations and her strategic approach was key to getting me a fair settlement. I highly recommend Steffanie Stracke and the Edman & Thompson law firm. If I could have given more than five starts I would have! ~ Angie F

We sought help from Edelman & Thompson when my disabled brother was being denied going back to work after an accident in which he had been cleared by workman's comp. Ron Edelman responded to our request immediately even though it was the weekend. My brother was back to work within two days. Then he helped us through the process of getting a settlement. Had we not sought help, we would not have known he was even entitled to a settlement. The process went smooth and we felt like Ron Edelman truly cared about our situation. We would recommend Edelman & Thompson to anyone seeking help. ~ Philip F

I had the privilege of working with Carl Mueller for the past eight years, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am for his dedication and professionalism. He is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also deeply family-oriented, which was important to me. Throughout the entire process, Carl always kept me informed and up to date on every detail of my case, ensuring that I understood each step along the way. His consistent communication, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend Carl to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate lawyer. ~ Melody T

We had the privilege of working with Steffanie Stracke at Edelman and Thompson. We had an amazing experience, and I highly recommend her. It was evident from the beginning she had our best interests at heart. She explained the process very clearly, she was extremely professional at all times. Steffanie provided us with ample time to allow us to make decisions while thoroughly explaining all of our options. Additionally, she was so prompt to respond to us each time we reached out. Edelman and Thompson met all of our needs, and we are so appreciative. ~ Julie H

Exemplary is the word l would choose to describe Edelman & Thompson. My attorney is Mr. John Thompson who represented me in my work comp case. He was very professional explaining each step of process making sure l understood. Excepted my calls always pleasant willing to help with any questions l might have. His Paralegal Jeannie Schrankler was a rock for me she encouraged me and went above and beyond to help me. I appreciate them both. To be taken care of Eldeman & Thompson the law firm to assist in your needs! Thank you for all your diligence and support in assisting me! ~ LeNeise W

Very Professional and Down to earth. For the past year or so I have been in contact with Mr. Ron Edelman on a lawsuit.. The availability and the willingness to answer any questions and walk step by step thru this process is what stood out to me most.. You never want these type of situations to arise but if they should, I have the upmost confidence and assurance of who will be handling my affairs. Hands down the best experience I could have ever imagined; working with who I consider the Best of the Best in the business.. Great Job Edelman and Family ~ Devin R

Not enough stars!!!! I was injured at work. After my maximum medical improvement came back with work restrictions I was terminated. Thank God for Steffanie Stracke. I called her on the phone and had over a 30 minute conversation with her and she explained in great detail each and every option I had. She was very patient and answered all of my questions. At that point we met in her office, I handed her the reins,she took the paperwork and went straight to work. Stephanie was honest with me upfront and in contact with me throughout the entire process.I always knew where we were in my case. I knew upfront about how long this would take to complete and I gave her the patience it took for her to do her job. And boy did she do her job. If you’re ever injured on the job,this is your Rockstar. Steffanie is professional, honest,smart, detailed and driven. Steffanie protected me from being took advantage of and changed my life. A truly remarkable person. Dave G ~ Dave G
