A Lifelong Advocate in Sedalia Who Gets Results

After a serious car accident left me with significant injuries and facing a complex insurance battle, I was referred to Mark Kempton. From our first meeting, his nearly five decades of experience were evident. He didn't just see my case as another file; he explained the nuances of Missouri personal injury law with clarity and mapped out a strategic path forward. His background in both plaintiff and defense-side personal injury litigation gave him a unique perspective that was invaluable during negotiations. I was particularly impressed that he is a recognized mediator—it showed in his measured, yet firm, approach. He secured a settlement that far exceeded my expectations, ensuring my medical needs were covered. Mark and his team at Kempton & Russell provided not just exceptional legal expertise, but genuine compassion during a difficult time. His 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition is well-deserved. For anyone in Central Missouri needing a seasoned, trustworthy advocate, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
