Veteran litigator Michael Foster has a well-honed ability to see the big picture and quickly narrow options to the best possible solution. As a former partner at one of the biggest law firms in the country, Michael has successfully represented some of the most noteworthy national clients in their toughest legal battles and recently won the largest jury verdict in United States history for a prisoner secondhand smoking case that led to a statewide ban on prisoner smoking. Michael has argued before state, federal, and appellate courts across the country and has received numerous awards and recognition from bar associations and legal publications for his legal work and for his outstanding character and pro bono commitment to individuals who cannot afford legal services.
Michael relishes time in the courtroom and fights on behalf of victims who have experienced adverse situations due to liability, negligence or wrongdoing. He has been on both sides of the courtroom and knows how the most aggressive defense firms and insurance companies approach and defend cases. This insider’s knowledge enables Michael to craft winning legal strategies for his clients, whether their matters are large or small.
From growing up in a family of attorneys, Michael’s legal intuition comes to him naturally. Michael’s father was an attorney and six of his aunts and uncles are attorneys or judges who practiced in the area. Michael was born and raised in the Kansas City area and is a former Division 1 college athlete. This collective background has contributed to Michael’s unrelenting drive to compete and win. Michael and his wife spend most of their free time raising their three young children.
