Representing Kansas City Consumers

Since joining the firm in 2016, Mark Schmitz has devoted himself to helping Kansas City’s consumers in their times of need.

From his time defending consumers from the unfair and deceptive actions of businesses, Mark has developed an understanding of what it takes to vindicate your rights.

In only a few years, Mark has established himself as a strong consumer advocate, winning multiple appeals and arbitrations on behalf of consumers. Mark has also represented multiple consumers at jury trials in Kansas and Missouri, including a recent trial victory in the District of Kansas in which the jury awarded every penny sought along with punitive damages.

Mark is an active member of the consumer protection committee, attending events and assisting in lobbying efforts to protect the laws which enable consumers to vindicate their rights after a business has wronged them. Mark is also a member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) and the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association (KCMBA).
