Because Tragedy Changed Everything
Some attorneys understand the law. We understand what it means to lose everything in a single, devastating moment.
When my sixteen-year-old sister and two classmates were killed in a horrific train collision on Valentine’s Day 1992, it didn’t just change my family—it defined my life’s mission. That profound loss taught me something most attorneys never truly grasp: behind every case is a family whose world has been shattered.
Our family’s advocacy following this tragedy led to federal legislation requiring “ditch lights” on every locomotive in the United States—two headlights positioned at car-windshield height so motorists can better see approaching trains at night.
When personal loss drives systemic change, it shows what’s possible when you refuse to let tragedy be meaningless.
Since 1991, we’ve won over 98% of our cases, securing more than $300 million for Kansas families. But these aren’t just statistics—they represent families we’ve helped rebuild after their own unthinkable moments.
What drives us isn’t just legal theory or courtroom strategy. It’s the memory of sitting in disbelief, wondering how life could change so completely, so fast. It’s understanding that when tragedy strikes, families need more than legal expertise—they need someone who knows that some losses cut so deep they reshape your very soul.
This understanding extends beyond our courtroom work. I’ve served on the MADD National Board for six years, chairing the Governance Committee, because I’ve seen firsthand the devastating effects of impaired drivers. I helped to start “Safe Ride” in Kansas, providing free rides home for those who are impaired, because prevention matters as much as justice after the fact.
My professional and personal lives blend together through service—having volunteered with the United Way, served on the Board of Directors for TECH (which provides vital services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community), and through supporting organizations that strengthen the fabric of our Kansas communities.
When the unthinkable happens to your family, you need an attorney who doesn’t just practice personal injury law—you need someone for whom personal injury became personal mission, and who has spent decades turning that mission into meaningful action both in and out of the courtroom.

"We Know What You're Going Through – Because We've Been There"
Personal tragedy transformed our understanding of what injury victims and their families face. We bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to every case, ensuring you're never just another case on our desk.
Your Get Immediate Access to Matt Bretz
Unlike large firms where you never meet the attorney from the commercials, every client gets Matt's personal cell phone number. We answer calls, return messages, and respond to all emails within 24 hours – because when you're hurting, waiting isn't an option.
We Stand Up to Big Organizations – And You Win
With over $300 million recovered for our clients, including $53 million for cases other attorneys rejected, dropped, or lost, we have the strength and resources to take on major companies and their insurance carriers. We've won 98% of the cases we've pursued since 1991.
We Won't Let Insurance Companies Push You Around
Insurance adjusters know we actually go to trial instead of rolling over for quick settlements. That reputation means they take our cases seriously and know we'll fight for every dollar you deserve.
Real Trial Experience Gets Real Results
Unlike other attorneys who rarely or have never seen a courtroom, we regularly go to trial when insurers deny fair compensation. Our track record exceeds $300 million, including $50 million for wrongful death, $23 million for a motorcycle accident, and $18.5 million for brain injury.
No Recovery, No Fee – Guaranteed in Writing
For over 30 years, we've given every injured client our written "No Fee Guarantee" and have never sent a bill to an injured client. You don't pay unless we win your case, so you can focus on healing without financial worry.

Dedicated to Protecting Kansas Families and Their Futures
Why experience matters when everything's on the line
Going it alone feels tempting when you’re hurt. Maybe the other person admitted fault. Maybe you already got an insurance offer. But personal experience taught us that what seems simple rarely is.
Personal injury cases are more complicated than families expect. Kansas law has specific deadlines, procedural requirements, and subtle distinctions that can make or break your case. Miss a deadline, overlook a responsible party, or say the wrong thing to an adjuster—and your family’s future suffers.
National statistics show that individuals with attorneys receive four times higher compensation than those without. This isn’t a coincidence—it’s the difference Kansas legal experience makes. Moreover, our outcomes surpass the national average.
Insurance companies don’t have your best interests at heart. They profit by paying you as little as possible. We know because we’ve seen families struggle with lowball offers that don’t cover their real needs.
Matt’s personal experience with loss gives him insight into what you’re going through. When tragedy strikes Kansas families, we understand both the legal subtleties and the personal pain.
Your family’s future is on the line. Don’t leave it to chance.
