How would you respond if you faced a lawsuit accusing you, your business, or someone you employ or insure of negligence or malpractice? The first moments after receiving a petition are often confusing and extremely stressful. The time in the past—when risk management might have prevented the lawsuit—is just as crucial but commonly overlooked.For 30 years, I’ve guided clients in healthcare, insurance, and other areas of business through such moments. I can provide you with plans for avoiding legal troubles and advocate for you in litigation, mediation, or settlement processes.My father was a trial lawyer who showed me the challenging and rewarding nature of this work. Today, I am licensed to practice law in Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa. I work alongside talented colleagues at Shaffer Lombardo Shurin, where I am a shareholder. My career achievements include membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates (Missouri chapter) and many Super Lawyer recognitions.I believe in a holistic approach to representing my clients. I counsel individuals and businesses about making informed legal decisions and how our emotions, strongly held values, and fear affect these significant decisions. This approach makes me uniquely effective at providing superior representation and risk management counseling. Malpractice lawsuits can shatter the confidence, focus, and self-worth of medical practitioners to do what they have dedicated their lives to. Even the most diligent, capable company executives involved in lawsuits need help piecing together reasonable solutions to the legal puzzles they face. My holistic approach takes into account both the whole context of the institutional and legal realities of the matter at hand and the mental, emotional, and professional wellbeing of the people affected.I can be reached at gforney@sls-law.com or 816-931-0500.

Listed skills include Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Medical Malpractice, Insurance Law, and 19 others.
