Value Over Volume

McGreevy Law was founded on the premise that every client deserves quality legal representation, no matter who the client is or what the client experienced.


McGreevy Law is not a “volume” firm. We intentionally keep a select caseload and are closely involved in each step of our clients’ cases. We thoroughly prepare each case and provide clear communication from the first conversation through resolution. 


Before starting McGreevy Law, Joe McGreevy represented a variety of clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, across several areas of the law spanning personal injury, construction law, labor law, and contractual disputes. Today, he uses that broad experience to provide people and families throughout Kansas and Missouri with thoughtful, experienced representation after they’ve suffered serious injuries.

Auto Accidents

Car, truck, and ATV crashes often leave people with significant injuries requiring expensive medical treatment and an inability to quickly return to work. Almost immediately, insurance companies become involved and uncertainty follows. We can help. We’ve represented clients throughout Kansas and Missouri who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents.

Wrongful Death

When a family loses someone because of another party's actions, no legal claim can replace what has been lost. We guide families through the legal process with compassion, clear communication, and careful preparation.

Catastrophic Injury

Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and other permanent injuries affect every facet of a person's life. Cases involving these severe injuries require careful evaluation, preparation, and long-term planning.

Product Liability

Dangerous or defective products can cause life-changing injuries or death. We investigate how the product was designed, manufactured, and brought to market to determine who may be responsible. From automobiles to consumer products, we are ready to evaluate your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of personal injury cases does McGreevy Law handle?

    McGreevy Law focuses on auto accidents, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, product liability, and other bodily injury claims, including dog-bite and slip-and-fall cases depending on the circumstances.

  • Why does Joe McGreevy's background matter?

    Before starting McGreevy Law, Joe represented police unions, followed by defendants in personal injury and construction claims, often retained by those clients’ insurance companies. Years of defense experience gave him an understanding of how claims are evaluated, investigated, and defended. Today, he brings that perspective to every case the firm handles.

  • Why does McGreevy Law keep a select caseload?

    The firm believes every case deserves individual time and attention. Keeping a select caseload allows us to stay more involved, communicate more often with clients, and prepare each matter for trial based on its unique facts.

  • What if another law firm declined my case?

    Every law firm evaluates cases differently. If another attorney declined your case, it may still be worth discussing with McGreevy Law. We're happy to review the facts and provide an honest assessment.

  • What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

    McGreevy Law generally handles personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis. That means there are no costs or fees unless and until a recovery is obtained on your behalf. If you don’t obtain a recovery for your claims, you don’t owe McGreevy Law. 


    Our fee agreement is written, provided at the first meeting, and is always explained in detail before you decide whether to retain our firm. Remember, the case belongs to the client, and the choice of representation is yours.
