Personal Injury Law Firm Overview

At the Serious Personal Injury Law Offices of Pettlon & Ginie, our practice focuses on just two areas: representing people who have suffered serious personal injury or wrongful death and criminal defense. If you have a case in one of these areas, you need an attorney who has experience and skill in court.

If you need an attorney who knows what it takes to win a trial, whether it's a criminal case or a serious personal injury case, and is familiar with the local courts, judges, prosecutors and insurance defense counsel, you need to retain an attorney at the Law Offices of Pettlon & Ginie.

Our firm has handled hundreds of serious personal injury & criminal cases successfully in Kansas and Missouri since early 1994. From our offices in Olathe, we serve people in Kansas and Missouri state courts, municipal courts and federal courts.

Firm History

Since leaving the Johnson County District Attorney's Office in 1994, Trey Pettlon has had a single desire to help good people through difficult times. The growth of his business has been a tribute to that one desire more than anything else.

In 2005, Ryan Ginie joined the firm and Ryan has continued the tradition of customer service and effective representation for our clients. In 2013, the firm changed from "The Law Offices of N. Trey Pettlon" to "The Law Offices of Pettlon & Ginie."

Along with their trial assistants, Allie Mincks and Danelle Wisdom, our lawyers have formed a winning trial firm capable of representing clients in significant personal injury cases, wrongful death cases which by their very nature involve great loss, and in defense of criminal cases no matter how serious the allegations.
