JUSTICE
Every day at the Wood Law Firm we work to obtain justice for consumers. Our cases thwart consumer fraud, make products safer and stop abusive telemarketers. Although we have obtained millions of dollars in judgments and settlements on behalf of defrauded and injured consumers, our lawsuits have also resulted in precedent-setting decisions protecting future consumers from dishonest schemes and unsafe products.
From our offices in Kansas City, Missouri we tackle high-stakes civil litigation across the United States. We do not charge you a fee to discuss a possible case, and the majority of our cases are handled for a contingent fee, meaning you pay no fee unless we are successful. When we take on a case we are relentless in our pursuit of justice for our clients.
