Rasmussen, Willis, Dickey & Moore, L.L.C., was established in 1996 by four partners from the former Kansas City law firm of Watson & Marshall, L.C. Our firm matches powerful large-firm trial and litigation experience with the economies of the small, independent law office. Our attorneys have taken more than 100 cases to trial, ranging from diverse products liability cases, consumer class actions and complex commercial cases with millions of dollars at stake, to “smaller” personal injury and business cases valued at less than $50,000.

The outcome of a case can hinge on a detail, and our lawyers know the importance of working hard from the very outset of a matter, striving to conduct the most thorough investigation and most efficient discovery. Our objective, always, is to identify at the earliest possible stage those key facts which will dispose of a case, either by way of a dispositive motion or by a productive settlement conference. We believe our written work product and trial preparation equals that of any firm—large or small—in the United States. We take pride in our trial victories, but we take equal pride in keeping our clients out of the courtroom.

Further, while we prefer to shape a case from the start, the firm is often retained a few months, a few weeks, or even a few days before trial. We have a proven record of quick response and good results in these “short-notice” cases, which require discipline and absolute commitment by our lawyers and staff to our client’s cause, usually in circumstances that are less than ideal. We know of no other firm that offers this unique service, but can think of no better test of our skills, dedication and teamwork.

Our clients have a right to expect not only excellent service, but also good value. Our small, closely coordinated office brings efficiencies to the labor-intensive work of litigation, and we believe high-quality, cost-effective legal service can only be rendered if the lawyers who will try the case are personally involved in each step of the litigation. In the long run, we believe our honesty, work ethic and dedication to excellence and client value will be the key to our success.
