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

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

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

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

Steffanie Stracke was wonderful to work with and did a great job on my worker’s compensation case. My worker’s compensation claim had been denied and I didn’t know what to do. A friend referred me to Steffanie. After meeting with her I knew she was the right person to help me and I felt much better about pursuing the claim under workers’ compensation. She explained to me the process and what to expect. She kept me informed throughout the proceedings and answered all of my questions. Steffanie was successful in having the decision changed and my claim was covered under workers’ compensation. I highly recommend Steffanie Stracke. She and her paralegal Tracy Jenkins were a pleasure to work with. ~ Joan M

A debt of gratitude goes out to both Ryan Weltz and Erica Smiley! This team at Edelman&Thompson absolutely showed that you are never just a number to them, they have gone out of their way on multiple occasions throughout the healing of mental trauma never backing down when it came to my fight! Having been through many attorneys and paralegals Ryan and Erica have been the best experience throughout any legal process i've ever had Bar None! The Edelman&Thompson experience will always be a moment in time I hold near and dear to my heart feeling more as a part of the family compared to just part of the process!!! Gratitude and Thanks to both Ryan Weltz and Erica Smiley!!!! Thank you Edelman&Thompson!!!!! ~ J

Carl Mueller is one in a million! I could not have asked for anyone better! Carl was available anytime i needed him and I know without a doubt he went way above and beyond what was necessary to help me in every way he could. I 1000% felt like I truly mattered to Carl....I wasn't just another case he was handling-he took the time to get to know me as a person and to determine what would be the best outcome for me. Then he made sure he got it done. If he was unavailable he made sure his fantastic Paralegal Erica was always there to step in. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have worked with Carl and his team. I would recommend him a million times over to anyone who needs help. Again, he is simply the best!!! ~ Wendy B

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

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

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 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

After representing myself in a previous injury and how I was being treated by my employer, and doctors I knew I needed legal representation. So I called several law firms in Kansas City. and was very disappointed . I knew from my first phone call and talking with Kieth that Edelman Thompson was the correct law firm to handle my case . I was treated like a person, not a paycheck. They were truly concerned about my well-being and how my life was affected. I am very satisfied with the result of my case, Do not hesitate to call and discuss your case with someone at Edelman Thompson and especially Kieth they will, honestly guide you through the process This is a law firm you can trust! ~ Jeff Y

Attorney Ryan Weltz and his paralegal Erica Smiley were absolutely wonderful in helping me solve my worker’s compensation case! Before hiring an attorney, the state was absolutely running circles around me and making it incredibly difficult to get the proper compensation I needed, but Mr. Weltz and Mrs. Smiley took amazing care of me by ensuring I was compensated correctly for my case! I really wouldn’t have been able to do it without them. They really advocate for their clients and ensure they are taken care of correctly doing anything in their power to ensure their clients get what they need and ask for. They always responded promptly with any questions or concerns I had. I know if I have to go through worker’s compensation again I will not even hesitate to call Mr. Weltz. He is forever my attorney of choice and I highly recommend both of them to anyone needing legal representation! ~ Cara M

I had an excellent experience with Edelman & Thompson LLC after being involved in a head-on collision. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly took the time to understand my situation. They guided me through every step of the injury claim process and made sure I knew what to expect. What stood out the most was their communication and dedication—Brendan Buckley and his amazing team kept me updated, answered all my questions, and fought to make sure I was treated fairly. They made a very stressful situation much easier to handle. I’m incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with an injury case. ~ Adrianna O

I got injured at work and went through the hole workman's comp process and then when it came time for talks about compensation they tried to lowball me. So I contacted Edelman and Thompson and talk to Stephanie Stracke and she advised me she could get me more than they were offering. Boy oh boy was she right! I was thinking she might be able to get me double or maybe triple what they were offering, but no, she got me six times what their offering me and that was after attorney's fees. So if you are ever injured at work or in an accident, my advice to you call Edelman and Thompson, I'm sure glad I did. I would like to think Edelman and Thompson and a special thank you to Stephanie Stracke! ~ Rick M

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 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

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

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

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 am so glad I chose them as my law firm. Last year I had an unexpected start to my summer, I was heading to the gym after a long day of work and never made it to the gym… I got hit by some lady who ran a stop sign making my car spin and get totaled. I was confused on what to do after that because I am a new adult and had no idea what to do especially in a new chapter of my life, I was lost and stuck on what law firm would actually take the time to listen and help me out in my case. I picked right, John Thompson was very patient and welcoming, he helped me every step of the way on my case, he responded fast, kept me updated, answered a lot of my questions, and explained things well and clear. If anything major in life where to ever happen again I would not hesitate to reach out to this law firm again! I am grateful for having Mr.Thompson as my attorney and Edelman and Thompson as a law firm, DEFINITELY recommend. 😊 ~ Lyna D

Not normally one to leave reviews, but Edelman and Thompson has been outstanding time and time again. Carl Mueller and Ryan Weltz both settled my workplace injury claims and helped get appropriate treatment for my injuries and compensation for my family. If you are a first responder, you do not have to just accept being injured at work, just because you signed up for a risky job does not mean you have to go broke and suffer when you're injured no matter what your employer tells you! Call Edelman and Thompson, they will treat you right and help you get what you deserve to get your situation right. ~ Dallas B
