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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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 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

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

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

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

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

I was injured at work in Kansas City. I contacted Eldeman an Thompson. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Steffanie Stracke. She was a pleasure to work with! She is very professional and walked me through the whole process every step of the way. She always answered any questions I had and answered every call I ever made to her! Steffanie would frequently call me to check in and see how I was feeling and doing, also would let me know what was going on with my case. She is very trustworthy and helpful. I would highly recommend Edelman and Thompson. Steffanie Stracke!!! ~ Catherine A
