The attorneys at Johns, Mitchell, Duncan & Lowe, L.L.C., have earned a reputation as aggressive litigators who know when to negotiate and when to take cases to trial. While our approach to trials is aggressive, it is also strategic. When we take cases to trial, it is because we believe that our clients' best interests are not being served by negotiation.
We have found the best way to get clients the settlement they are seeking is for the opposition to know we will take the case to trial and appeal, if necessary. We believe firms that focus solely on settlement of all cases do not have this advantage. As trial lawyers, we emphasize thorough case preparation and thoughtful analysis of the evidence.

Services
Our lawyers serve clients in legal matters concerning personal injury, criminal defense, divorce and child custody, traffic violations, workers' compensation, estate planning and probate. Let us use our extensive legal experience to achieve the resolution you need to move forward with your life. We provide individualized representation to all our clients.
Our firm is comprised of three lawyers: James C. Johns, Eric Mitchell and Sarah E. Duncan. We were all raised in this community and chose to return here to practice law. We have roots in this area that go back literally generations. We are one of the few small firms in this area that can claim each of its attorneys graduated with honors in the top 10 percent of their law school class.
If you have been injured because of the careless or negligent act of another person, you may be uncertain what to do next. Do you have to settle with your insurance company before you can file a lawsuit for your losses? If you accept a settlement offer from your insurer, will you be prohibited from recovering any other damages?
All injuries are stressful, but work injuries cause even more problems. Many people are afraid to report the injury or to file a workers' compensation claim. Others are forced to return to work before they are completely healed. Some are restricted to light duty, which results in decreased wages. With the help of an experienced attorney, however, you can get the benefits you need and ensure that your employer treats you fairly.
At the office of Johns, Mitchell, Duncan & Lowe, L.L.C., our lawyers bring over 50 years of combined legal experience to men and women throughout western and west-central Missouri. We built our practice on a commitment to communication and personal service. We listen carefully to your questions and concerns, so that we can seek the results you need.

Mr. Johns agreed (though somewhat reluctantly at first!) to help us in our attempt to get a measure of justice in a legal malpractice case.
After our bad experience with the previous attorney, it was very refreshing to find an attorney like Mr. Johns. He was honest, honorable, experienced and professional in every way, and he was able to get us a very successful result. We would highly recommend both him and his staff!
