Criminal Defense ● Personal Injury
Our practice focuses on just two areas: criminal defense and representing people who have suffered serious personal injury or wrongful death. If you have a case in one of these areas, you need an attorney who has experience and skill in court.
If you want a Criminal Defense Attorney who has extensive defense and prosecution experience...who has handled and won a lot of trials from both sides, call the Law Offices of N. Trey Pettlon. Or if you want a Personal Injury Attorney who has settled and tried numerous personal injury cases successfully to a jury, call the Law Offices of N. Trey Pettlon.

Every law office needs an excellent and reliable staff as well. Dedicated, conscientious paralegals to help with administrative matters, to run the office, schedule hearings, request police reports, accident reports, medical records and other discovery, to schedule appointments, help clients while we are in court and generally free us up so we can effectively represent our clients. Alethea and Terri are at the office Monday through Friday to help us and to help our clients. They both have daily contact with the courts and police departments all around Kansas City as well. Terri has worked for the office for over eight years and Alethea has been here for a little over six months after having been trained by her predecessor, Allie Mincks, and Terri.
