Why Clients Choose Us for High-Stakes Litigation
We Take High-Stakes Cases
We focus exclusively on catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases involving defective products, unsafe vehicles, dangerous property, and serious trucking accidents. By keeping a selective caseload, we dedicate our full attention and resources to each client.
We Have the Resources Other Firms Don’t
Many attorneys simply don’t have the financial or logistical capability to handle truly complex cases. At McCartney Stucky, we invest in the best experts from accident reconstructionists and product design engineers to medical professionals and life-care planners. We also maintain our own secure evidence storage facility to protect and store the most crucial evidence in product liability claims.
You Get an Entire Trial Team — Not Just One Lawyer
Every client benefits from the collaboration of our full legal team. Founding partners Terry McCartney and Chris Stucky personally lead each case, supported by a network of specialized attorneys, paralegals, and experts.
We Prepare Every Case for Trial from Day One
Insurance companies and corporate defendants know which firms are willing to try a case — and which aren’t. We build our cases as if a jury will decide them, giving us maximum leverage in negotiations and in court.
We Don’t Take the First Offer
Our goal is to recover every dollar you’re entitled to. We pursue the full lifetime value of your claim, factoring in future medical care, loss of earnings, and long-term suffering.
National & Local Reach
Rooted in New York and the Kansas City Metro, our firm proudly serves clients across the nation. While grounded in these home bases, our reach extends far beyond state lines. Trusted to handle high-stakes matters nationwide, our team delivers powerful, results-driven representation wherever justice calls.

- Amber S
"After a life altering car accident when I was just 19 years old, a family member put me in touch with a lawyer who quickly realized the person that should be representing me was Terry, given his extensive experience in this particular field. Terry and his team made this as painless of a process for me as it could’ve been. I’m beyond grateful for the compassion and dedication they exhibited in my time working with them. After my first meeting with Terry I was confident that if anybody was going to get me a fair settlement, it would be him. I’ll be 24 next month and because of Terry I’ll be living comfortably. This is a man that doesn’t back down from a challenge and I most definitely wouldn’t want to go up against him in court.”

“Five years ago, I had a really bad car accident. I went through a long rehabilitation process and during this time I looked for legal representation. I called many lawyers but nobody believed in me until I found Terry McCartney. Terry came, in person, to my home and helped me out from the first moment. Thanks to the settlement, now I can live much better.”

“After my spinal cord was severed in an automobile accident Terry and his colleagues have expertly managed my claim against the car manufacturer. Shortly after the accident I moved from NY to CA and Terry has handled the remote interaction seamlessly. He has promptly responded to all of my inquiries, managed and coordinated the litigation in a professional manner and managed my interaction with all manner of experts perfectly. I give Terry my 100% recommendation."

"When I was injured my life was turned upside down overnight. I went from a promising professional career to not being able to take care of myself. I was sick, in pain and brought to my knees in despair. I learned of Austin from a trusted friend and reached out to him. After meeting him and Chris, the culture of their practice was clear. They are honest, sincere, compassionate and the type of people that you just like to be around. I was never afraid to call either of them and left every conversation feeling comfortable and reassured. When it was time for them to dig in and do the work, they were thorough, efficient, thoughtful and steady. I now have my life back and the peace-of-mind they won for me is irreplaceable."

"Terry represented myself and my two young children in a case involving the tragic death of my young wife at a New York City gym. After meeting him for the first time, I knew our case was in the right hands. His unique combination of empathy and legal acumen allowed us to traverse a fairly complicated case to a successful result. At this point in my life, I have had the opportunity, both personally and professionally, to deal with quite a few different attorneys in various roles and I can state this unequivocally: Terry is simply the best of the best."
