Foster Care Personal Injury Attorney Serving Kansas & Missouri
When Foster Care Fails, I Fight for Children and Families
When children enters the foster care system, their families trust that they will be protected, cared for, and given a chance to heal. But too often, that trust is broken. Children suffer harm — sometimes physical, sometimes emotional — because of negligence, abuse, or eglect of bureaucratic agencies whose employees are overworked and underpaid.
I have dedicated my practice to representing children and families who have been hurt within the foster care system. My mission is simple: to hold those responsible accountable and to help my clients and their families rebuild their lives.
What Is Foster Care Personal Injury?
Foster care personal injury includes any harm suffered by a child while placed in foster care due to someone’s failure to act responsibly or to protect them from danger. This harm can be the result of:
Physical abuse or neglect by foster parents or caregivers
Emotional or psychological trauma caused by mistreatment or instability
Unsafe living conditions or lack of supervision
Medical negligence or failure to address known health issues
Institutional failures by child welfare agencies
Each case is unique, but all share one common truth — children deserve safety, and when that safety is taken from them, justice must follow.

How I Help My Clients
I understand that these cases are deeply personal and emotionally difficult. When families come to me, they are often searching for answers as much as for justice. I take the time to listen, to learn each child’s story, and to investigate every aspect of what went wrong.
My approach is both thorough and compassionate. I review agency files, interview witnesses, and work with child welfare experts to uncover the full truth. I use the evidence to build strong, fact-based cases that can hold negligent individuals and institutions accountable.
I also make sure my clients and their families feel supported throughout the process. You will always work directly with me — I don’t hand your case off to an associate. Every question, concern, and step forward will have my full attention.
My Commitment to Children and Families
For more than 30 years, I have devoted my practice to personal injury and foster care cases across Kansas and Missouri. I believe that the legal system should serve as a safeguard for those who are most vulnerable, especially children who cannot speak for themselves.
When foster care fails, I step in to make sure no one can ignore what happened. My commitment is to truth, accountability, and the belief that change begins when someone stands up and demands it.
