Roth Davies LLC is an Overland Park law firm serving Johnson County and the wider Kansas City area. Family law, personal injury, and criminal defense each have their own attorneys.

Two counties north of the metro, Kiske Law Office covers Buchanan and Andrew counties from St. Joseph. Divorce, probate, estate planning, and bankruptcy all fall within the practice.

Troy J. Leavitt worked as a prosecutor before opening his own Blue Springs practice, and he now brings 25 years of legal experience to family and criminal matters.
