Thank You to you for the most professional and knowlegable legal representation one could ask for in a time of dire need. I knew when I made the call to my friend and asked her to place the call for me, I had no doubt I was in the best hands one could ask for. It is because of God, you Brendan, attorney at law with Edelman and Thompson Law Firm in Kansas City, and the most wonderful surgeon in Kansas City that I am alive and well today. I hit the Trifecta of all jackpots that day and I am and will be forever grateful. Thank you for all your guidance , knowledge, and professionalism one could ask for and receive through your representation in the dark and challenging days of the my life. At this time of the year, the time to be thankful and blessed as we just celebrated Thanksgiving and looking forward to Christmas, the most meaningful holiday of the year, I just want to personally say thank you to you Brandon and law firm of Edelman and Thompson in Kansas City as well as your secretaries and paralegals, namely Donna and Theresa with the firm as they are the ones whose job entails a lot of the hard work. The only good thing about that fateful day is the call that I had asked to be placed. I am now on the road to recovery and looking forward to a healthy and a blessed New Year, all thanks to you. You are the best and when asked I will not hesitate hesitate to refer you and the law firm of Edelman and Thompson first and foremost.

If you want a no nonsense, up front, and professional workman's compensation lawyer go to Keith Yarwood at Edelman & Thompson. Keith helped me navigate the complex world of workman's compensation. He is compassionate, he listened to me and explained things in a way to help me understand what was going on. Most importantly he is someone I can trust. I am so thankful for his expert assistance during a very stressful phase in life. Thank you Keith!

Owner's reply

That is the result we strive for in every case and I am happy you feel that you were well represented. - Keith Yarwood

Carl Mueller was excellent. He stood up to the work comp insurance and got both surgeries I needed. I was always able to contact him with questions or problems that had arisen any time during the 2 years. He fought and and I received the monetary damages I deserved. I would recommend Edelman & Thompson to anyone.

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!

I highly recommend Edelman and Thompson. Especially Steffanie Stracke as she handled my worker's compensation case. I found Steffanie to not only be very professional but, also very caring and compassionate throughout my experience. She always kept me informed and advised of what the next step was to be. My case was a rather trying one to say the least. Steffanie never faltered, never gave up. I choose to contact Edelman and Thompson after getting the run around from and being lied to by my company's work comp adjuster. My previous work background includes Safety Manager for a med sized trucking company and dealt with work comp from the employers side. My former company always treated anyone injured on the job with respect and dignity. When I was not treated with as such I felt the need to seek professional legal representation. I would again like to express my appreciation and gratitude to Steffanie Stracke for her guidance and compassion. Thank you as well to the entire Edelman and Thompson firm.

My company denied my injury claiming it was not work related. So glad I called Steffanie Stracke at Edelman and Thompson. She quickly got my claim accepted, my surgery scheduled and got my case settled. I could not recommend her more highly. I will be giving her card out to my coworkers who I have seen get the runaround.
