Firm Overview

Kansas City Personal Injury Lawyers

Yonke & Pottenger, L.L.C. is a personal injury litigation firm in Kansas City, Missouri. Our mission is aggressive and compassionate advocacy for the seriously injured or the families of those killed through negligence.

Our experienced trial attorneys have obtained notable results for victims of auto accidents, medical negligence, defective products and a wide range of injury cases. We serve the greater K.C. metro area and take cases statewide in Missouri and Kansas.

Experienced and Professional Representation

Partners Michael Yonke and Jason Pottenger bring 30 years of combined experience in civil litigation. Both have earned peer-based recognition (listing in Missouri/Kansas Super Lawyers magazine, Best of the Bar in the Kansas City Business Journal) for the quality and results of their legal advocacy. Like all good lawyers, they are active in professional organizations and continuing education to stay abreast of the relevant legal issues.

We Care About You and Your Case

People don't trust insurance companies, with good reason. But many people are also leery of lawyers, with some justification. There are law firms out there with a volume approach to personal injury claims — take the first settlement offer and move on to the next case, without regard for justice or the client's needs.

At Yonke & Pottenger, our philosophy is to pursue the full value of claims, knowing that clients may be unable to cover their losses if we don't. We prepare each case as if it will go to trial, and the insurance companies are familiar with our reputation for success. Most lawsuits never reach a jury, but our meticulous work-up of the case and our willingness to try cases makes insurers take us seriously in settlement negotiations.

We do everything we can to improve your odds and maximize your compensation. First, we stand between you and the insurance adjusters who want to lure you into statements that will limit your claim. We conduct a prompt and thorough investigation to gather evidence of negligence. And we pull in experts from various fields to determine our clients' needs and demonstrate the monetary damages.
