N. Trey Pettlon, III
Trial Attorney - Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Criminal Defense
Trey is proud to have just been selected for the 14th year in a row to Super Lawyers in 2021. A Super Lawyer designation is reserved for only 5% of practicing attorneys who have "attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional development." Trey was also selected for "Nation's Top One-Percent" by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel for the second year in a row.
Since 1991 Trey has been in court almost five days a week defending people charged with crimes and representing families of people who have been injured or killed as a result of the negligence of another.
Criminal Defense:
Trey has tried and won numerous jury trials involving serious criminal charges, significant personal injury and wrongful death. Trey has won numerous "Not Guilty" jury verdicts in criminal cases over the years including acquittals for clients charged with rape, sodomy, aggravated battery, domestic battery, sexual battery, attempted murder, DUI, felony DUI and felony theft. Trey's clients have included attorneys, professional athletes, police officers, nurses, doctors, professors and other professionals with a lot to lose.
Personal Injury/Wrongful Death:
People sometimes ask why it might be more effective to have an attorney who handles criminal defense and who has a prosecutor's background represent them in a personal injury or wrongful death case. The answer may not be obvious for those that don't find themselves in court frequently. The truth is that criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors are in court much more and have significantly more trial experience than most attorneys who just handle personal injury cases. Trey has won numerous wrongful death and personal injury jury trials in Kansas and Missouri and won significant verdicts for his clients including clients injured in car and truck accident cases. In addition to several jury verdicts, Trey has worked to gain tremendous settlements for his clients in numerous other cases.
Additional Info:
Trey is admitted to practice in Missouri, Kansas, the United States District Courts for Missouri and Kansas and the United States Supreme Court. He's tried jury trials in Kansas, Missouri and Federal Court. Trey will go wherever his clients need him and his cases have taken him all over the United States from Maine to California.

Criminal Defense:
Ryan does primarily criminal defense and has a great deal of experience defending both adults and juveniles who are charged with crimes. Ryan is one of the very few attorneys in Kansas City to win a "Not Guilty by Reason of Mental defect" jury verdict.

He is a member of the Johnson County Bar Association, the Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Kansas Bar Association, and a sustaining member of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association.
"Ryan has the knowledge, experience and argument skills that make him an effective advocate for his clients, but to me, it's his genuine concern for his clients and their cases that makes him a great attorney. And that's what I hear most from his clients. He finds out what is important to each client, and he will fight to get the best result possible for that client. That is what I am most impressed with about Ryan." - Trey Pettlon

A successful law office requires great attorneys and a great support staff. We have just that in our paralegals, Allie Mincks and Danelle Wisdom. Allie is an experienced trial assistant with experience in a large firm and then with the Law Office of N. Trey Pettlon before the Law Offices of Pettlon & Ginie was formed.
