The Firm has handled numerous cases in Missouri over the past six years. The opening of this office location was a logical extension because it provides even more depth of our representation in the Midwest. The new office is being headed by James D. Conkright, our newest Partner and highly-respected attorney in both Missouri and Kansas.

James D. Conkright has over 33 years experience in municipal, insurance and products liability law. He has an outstanding reputation, not only in Missouri and Kansas, but also nationally. He began his practice at a large firm in Kansas City for 20 years before forming his own firm in 1999.

In 2009 he was selected as national Attorney of the Year by an organization that handles products liability risks facing manufacturers and distributors of medical technology and life sciences products. Jim has had enormous success for this organization, as well as numerous municipalities throughout Missouri and Kansas.

Jim received a bachelor’s degree from Pittsburg State University located in Pittsburg, Kansas. He graduated from law school at the University of Missouri at Kansas City in 1977. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Vietnam. On an interesting sidenote, Jim completed his basic training at the same location as CMDA founders Owen Cummings, Bernie McClorey and Ronald Acho. He will add even more depth to our already excellent staff of attorneys.
