Liberty Personal Injury Lawyer
Overview
Kett Craven's practice is focused primarily in personal injury, general litigation, and wills, trusts, and estates. Kett returned to private practice in 2017 after nearly 20 years working as an attorney and claims manager at an insurance company. He holds the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter designation, and his understanding of the insurance industry, the mechanics of insurance policies, and the claims process allows him to communicate well with insurance adjusters and other insurance personnel, and to readily grasp what has happened in an insurance claim, before and after suit has been filed.
Kett did his undergraduate work at the University of Missouri, where he completed his Bachelor of Science in Education in 1986, and then taught high school before attending law school. After obtaining his JD from the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Law, Kett was admitted to the Missouri bar in 1991, and to the Kansas bar in 1992.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
