Kelly Frickleton

Kelly Frickleton is an associate attorney at Bartimus Frickleton Robertson Rader P.C.  Since joining the firm in 2017, Kelly has focused her practice on complex personal injury cases, including medical malpractice and insurance bad faith litigation, and appeals.  A natural problem-solver, Kelly uses her strong research and writing skills to craft legal strategies that help ensure the best possible outcome for each case.  Prior to working in the legal field, Kelly was trained as an actor, which prepared her for many elements of being a trial lawyer – both in the performance aspect and her approach to cases.  Her focus is always on understanding the client as an individual and telling their story in a way that will get the case to its best resolution.  Kelly has also spent a considerable amount of time studying the intersection of law and race – which culminated in 2019 with her presentation of “An Exploration of Segregation in Kanas City” at KCMBA’s Bench Bar & Boardroom Conference.  Kelly currently serves KCMBA/KCMBF as Chair of the YLS Board’s CLE Committee, Vice Chair of the Student Law Academy Committee, and as a member of the Bar Leadership Academy Taskforce and Communications Advisory Committee.  She is also a member of the Association for Women Lawyers of Greater Kansas City, American Association for Justice, MATA, and The Women’s Foundation.
