About

 I have dedicated my whole legal career to criminal and DWI defense because I love helping people.  I believe it is a privilege to practice law and even more so when someone has asked me to help them get through their tough case.   What sets me apart from the rest is that I am completely results oriented.  I want to get the right result for each client no matter how long it takes.  I take pride in serving my clients well.  I understand providing excellent service and getting results require hard work, an attention to detail, and preparation.I am committed to defending the rights of those facing criminal charges using aggressive and innovative approaches to defending those accused of violating criminal and DWI laws in Missouri.  I have proven to be a valuable asset to my clients, successfully defending them in Greene County, Christian County, Webster County, and throughout southwest Missouri.When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three sons. I am a huge sports fan, especially of the Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs and Missouri Tigers.

I’ve hired mr. John Kail on multiple occasions due to my driving habits. I must say the best way to describe Mr. Kail is he’s a winner. And to me that’s the most important aspect in hiring an attorney and I’ve never lost any traffic cases going through Mr. Kail.

John took my case regarding a Speeding Ticket and DUI. If I could give him 20 Stars I would. He and his Staff are Very Professional and take care of you and your situation in a Timely manner. He was able to get the DUI completely dismissed. I cannot express the appreciation I have for him and you will Not be dissapointed with his Service.

I can not begin to express how impressed I am with this man. Honest and trustworthy are not generally words that come to mind when you think of attorneys. I am here to tell you that is what Mr. John Kail exemplifies. I hired Mr. Kail to represent my fiance. Unfortunately, a conflict of interest presented itself as the case progressed. Not only did Mr. Kail refund ALL of the retainer fee, he also assisted me in finding another attorney and made sure I successfully negotiated court procedures I was unfamiliar with. His response for why he refunded all fees..."I felt is was the right thing to do." His paralegal, Angela was also very friendly, professional and helpful. She even offered to forward all discovery documents to the new attorney's office. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. John Kail. We will be hiring him in the future for assistance in obtaining a hardship license.

I have yet to meet Mr Kail, but I spoke to Paralegal Angie. I always say the first impression is the best! She was very professional and straightforward, I didn't think twice about my decision for representation. In addition, the office is technologically savvy, I signed documents electronically and was setup with an online account to keep up with the status! Although my case is not complete I had to share my experience with them. A complete WOW experience!

I hired Mr. Kail solely based on the positive reviews found on this site. Not only did Mr. Kail and his staff meet these expectations, they were exceeded! From the first consultation I was impressed by the professionalism, care and understanding regarding my case. (DWI). Mr. Kail made no unrealistic expectations but made me feel very comfortable that he and his staff would do all they could to ensure the best possible outcome. Through the whole process they communicated with me continuously and encouraged me to call with any questions at anytime. At no time did I ever feel that I was just a number. The care and concern on an individual basis regarding me case was amazing. The result! The outcome of my case was even better than expected. This was solely due to Mr. Kail and his staffs experience. Thank you Mr. Kail and staff!

John and Angela are amazing! I was refered by more than one previous clients of his. They all said the same thing "You don't want anyone else." They were absolutely correct. Not only did they do exactly what they promised, but Angela added a personal and friendly touch to every step of the process. Any questions I had, she responded immediately and always gave me suggestions beyond what her position required. This was extremely helpful. I got exactly what I paid for and then some. Plus, I was treated like family instead of a client.

I was charged with animal abuse from back in 2012. It was 2016 now and Mr Kail made me feel at ease with the outcome after myself being totally nervous about everything. I appreciate everything John Kail has done and recommend you use his services if you are in need of defense.

John did exactly what I needed. I couldn't do community service due to my breast cancer diagnosis after my DUI john made sure I didn't have to although I did have to pay the court a higher fine it was worth it.
