Kahlie Hoffman became a personal injury attorney to give a voice to the voiceless. She believes that everyone deserves a chance to have their story told with dignity, integrity, and respect and is passionate about her work as a personal injury attorney. She takes great pride in zealously representing her clients.
Kahlie began working in the legal field as a high school student at the young age of 17 and has spent the entirety of her legal career diligently working to help injury victims seek justice. She views the opportunity to bring real-life stories to juries as one of the greatest honors and is humbled that her clients entrust her to be their advocate. It is a task she never takes lightly.
While Kahlie enjoys all facets of the work she gets to do on behalf of her clients, her passion is jury trials. In July of 2019, she attended Trial Lawyers’ College, where she spent three weeks in the wilderness of Wyoming learning from other trial lawyers from across the country, all of whom represent real people, not large corporations, or insurance companies. Kahlie brings this experience with her to every courtroom, ready to authentically communicate the truth of each case, and most importantly, ready to earn the trust of the jury as their guide on the path to a just outcome.
Kahlie attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, graduating in 2014 with honors and an emphasis in litigation. She is experienced in a wide variety of personal injury cases and is licensed to practice law in state and federal courts in both Missouri and Kansas.
