Colony Woods

At Wagstaff & Cartmell, we are a boutique litigation firm dedicated to providing exceptional legal services to our clients. Our team of experienced attorneys has a proven track record of success in handling high-stakes, complex litigation matters nationwide. With a wide range of practice areas, including professional liability, business litigation, product liability, mass actions, class actions, and catastrophic personal injury, we thrive in the courtroom and in preparing to get there.

Our approach to litigation is simple: from day one, we prepare for trial. This philosophy has earned us a reputation as one of the top boutique trial firms in the Midwest, with ongoing trial victories in federal and state courts. We're proud to champion clients in cases spanning the spectrum of law and define "winning" by attaining the best possible outcomes. While we've recovered more than two billion dollars on behalf of our plaintiff clients, we've also protected some of Kansas City's leading companies with trial victories or favorable settlements in defendant cases.

Our Services

Our attorneys' expertise and case work range from class action lawsuits to healthcare defense and everywhere in between. We have served in leadership roles in major, multi-district litigation and have been lead counsel in bellwether and other jury trials in prominent cases, nationally and locally. We have been selected to represent state governments and other public entities. Our team includes many lawyers trained in large law firms, former federal law clerks, and attorneys consistently recognized by peers as among the best in the profession.

We approach all cases with a simple philosophy: from day one, we prepare for trial. Our resources, capabilities, and experience equip us for major litigation cases against the largest national law firms, and our repeated successes have earned us a reputation as a nationally leading firm. We value efficiency, creativity, and most of all, credibility.
