About

Edelman & Thompson is a personal injury law firm based in Kansas City, Missouri, with offices throughout the metropolitan area and in surrounding Kansas communities. Founded over 30 years ago by Ron Edelman and James Thompson, the firm has built its practice around comprehensive representation for injury victims and their families across multiple personal injury matters.

The firm's core service areas include car accidents, workers' compensation claims, premises liability, defective product injuries, and wrongful death cases. Edelman & Thompson maintains five local offices—on the Country Club Plaza, in North Kansas City, Independence, Olathe, and Lenexa—and offers consultations at locations convenient to clients, including their homes or medical facilities. The firm has handled more than 14,500 injury cases in the Kansas City region since its founding.

At the heart of Edelman & Thompson's approach is experienced legal counsel. Most attorneys on the firm's team carry over 20 years of personal injury experience, with many exceeding 30 years in the field. When clients contact the firm, they speak directly with an experienced attorney rather than a screener or assistant, and they work with the same lawyer throughout their case. The firm's founders each bring over 40 years of personal injury experience to their practice.

According to the firm's track record in local courts, Edelman & Thompson has obtained more jury verdicts for auto accidents and workers' compensation awards in Kansas City courts since 2011 than any other law firm in the area. The firm has secured over $750 million in client compensation. The attorneys prepare every case as though it will proceed to trial, a philosophy the firm credits with achieving better settlement negotiations and stronger courtroom results.

Edelman & Thompson represents clients on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless the firm wins the case. Clients pay a low percentage of their recovery, allowing them to retain more of their settlement or verdict. The firm also assists clients with collateral matters during their case, including locating medical providers, arranging medical loans for clients facing lost income, and handling communication with insurance companies and claims processes.

The firm's Google rating of 4.8 stars reflects consistent client satisfaction across hundreds of reviews. Edelman & Thompson serves the greater Kansas City area, with phone lines for Missouri (816-561-3400) and Kansas (913-599-1800) clients.
