In 2014, Meyerkord, Russell & Hergott was founded when attorneys Matt Meyerkord, Brian Russell, and Nick Hergott joined forces. We realized the impact we could make on the lives of our clients and we wanted to help people navigate the legal process and move forward with their lives. This May we celebrate 5 years as a Kansas City personal injury law firm.

Our #JustDriveKC campaign is our movement to end distracted driving and features a variety of efforts including personal injury attorney Matt Meyerkord speaking throughout the Kansas City community to build awareness around this meaningful campaign.
To do your part in ending distracted driving, try these easy steps:
