Kelly Lynn St. John

Kelly St. John is an experienced personal injury attorney at DM Injury Law who brings a broad and versatile legal background to her practice. Drawing from her work in personal injury, criminal defense, municipal prosecution, ordinance drafting, and contract review, Kelly is relentless in her pursuit of the strongest possible outcomes for her clients.

Kelly’s interest in the law developed early after witnessing the challenges faced by friends and family navigating issues such as divorce and child custody. While those experiences motivated her desire to help others, Kelly ultimately found that her passion lay outside of family law. Instead, she discovered she could make a meaningful impact by advocating for individuals in other areas of the legal system.

Kelly began her legal career as a criminal defense paralegal before clerking for a judge at the Jackson County Courthouse in downtown Kansas City. That experience provided her with invaluable insight into courtroom procedure and helped her build lasting professional relationships. Her background in criminal defense sharpened her research and analytical skills—tools she now uses extensively when investigating and building strong personal injury cases.
