Roth Davies LLC

Focus and practice areas

Based in Overland Park, Kansas, this practice works in three areas of law: personal injury, criminal defense, and family law. The site sets out each area with a short list of the matters it covers, so a reader can tell quickly whether their problem fits.

Those three areas reach a wide slice of the legal questions people bring to a general practice. Between them they touch on accidents and the money that follows, criminal charges and the record they leave, and families going through change. Keeping all three under one roof lets a client start in one place.

A closer look at the three practice areas

Personal injury

On the personal injury side, the firm lists car accidents, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims. These are cases where someone has been hurt, or a family has lost someone, and the question becomes who is responsible and what the loss is worth. Medical malpractice and wrongful death tend to need careful proof, so it helps that the firm treats them as named parts of its work rather than side matters.

Criminal defense

The criminal defense practice covers DUI, drug offenses, assault, and theft charges. That range runs from a first DUI stop to more serious felony exposure. The site ties this work to Johnson County, which is where much of the firm's criminal caseload sits.

Family law

The family law group handles divorce, child custody, and child support. The attorney pages add related matters such as paternity, parenting time disputes, and spousal support. These are the day-to-day questions that come up when a household separates, and they often continue past the first order.

How the team is built

The firm describes a simple idea. Each attorney concentrates on one area of law rather than moving across all three. In my opinion that focus is worth noting, because criminal defense and family law ask for different habits and different courtroom rhythms.

Roth Davies also presents its lawyers as trial lawyers. The firm says each case is prepared for trial from the start, and it states that every attorney in the office has first-chair trial experience. That is a claim about preparation, not a promise about results. The site keeps it as a description of how the work is approached, which is the right place for it.

The attorneys named on the site

Six lawyers are named across the firm's pages. Their listed backgrounds line up with the areas they handle, which fits the one-area-each approach the firm describes.

Criminal defense attorneys

Brandan J. Davies is described as a trial lawyer focused on criminal defense. His work runs from misdemeanors to felonies in Johnson County. Collin Huerter also handles criminal, DUI, and traffic matters. He was born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Kansas State University, and holds a J.D. from Washburn University School of Law, where he served as President of the Student Bar Association.

Family law attorneys

Marissa Mallon practices family law, including divorce and custody. She earned a Bachelor of Science in political science from Northwest Missouri State University in 2018 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law in 2021, where she received the John Speca Family Law Award. Anna Moore is part of the firm's Domestic Litigation Team. Her work covers divorce, paternity, parenting time disputes, spousal and child support, and custody. She graduated from the University of Missouri in 2021 with dual bachelor's degrees in English and Communication. Jordan Morton is also listed among the family lawyers.

Personal injury attorney

Ian Jones is named as the personal injury lawyer. The site lists his practice area without a longer biography, so I will not fill that gap with anything the firm has not published.

Where the firm works

The office sits in Overland Park, inside Johnson County. From there the firm serves Overland Park, the wider county, and the greater Kansas City area. That footprint matches the Johnson County criminal work the site describes, and it keeps the practice close to the courts where these cases are heard.

What the listing does and does not show

As a reviewer, I try to separate what is documented from what is missing. Roth Davies states its practice areas plainly, names its attorneys, and describes a trial-ready way of working. Several of those attorneys list law schools, graduation years, and, in one case, a law school award. That gives a reader something concrete to check.

Some details are not on the pages reviewed here. The site does not state a founding year, and a couple of the named lawyers carry a title without a full biography yet. None of that counts against the firm. It marks the line between what has been published and what a prospective client would ask about directly.

What comes through is a small Kansas firm with a clear scope. Three practice areas, six named lawyers, and a stated preference for building each case as if it will be tried. For someone in the Kansas City area weighing a personal injury, criminal, or family matter, that is a fair place to begin.
