Profile
Decades of Advocacy for the Underdog
Siro Smith Dickson PC is a premier trial law firm located in the vibrant Crossroads Arts District of Kansas City. With a history dating back to 1975, the firm has spent nearly half a century fighting for the rights of ordinary people against powerful corporations and insurance companies. The firm is led by experienced partners Rik N. Siro, Eric Smith, and Athena Dickson, who together bring a diverse range of expertise to the table. Unlike general practice firms, Siro Smith Dickson PC focuses intensely on two critical areas: Personal Injury and Employment Law. They have a reputation for taking on difficult cases-including complex product liability and sexual harassment claims-and securing significant verdicts and settlements. The firm’s philosophy is rooted in personalized attention; they deliberately limit their caseload to ensure that every client works directly with a senior attorney, not a junior associate.

The firm offers robust legal representation in matters that affect your livelihood and physical well-being:
- Employment Law: Aggressively representing employees in cases of discrimination (age, race, gender), sexual harassment, whistleblower retaliation, and wrongful termination.

- Product Liability: Holding manufacturers accountable for dangerous products and medical devices.
- Workers’ Compensation: Helping injured workers navigate the complex claims process to receive the benefits they deserve.
- Social Security Disability: Advocating for those who can no longer work due to disability.
Recognized Leaders
The attorneys at Siro Smith Dickson PC are consistently recognized as leaders in the Missouri and Kansas legal communities. Rik Siro and Athena Dickson have been named to the Super Lawyers list and recognized as "Best of the Bar" by the Kansas City Business Journal. They are also active in legal organizations, with Athena Dickson having served as President of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association. Their track record includes multi-million dollar recoveries for clients, but they remain approachable and down-to-earth. If you need to find a lawyer who will stand by your side through a difficult legal battle, this firm offers the experience and tenacity required to win.
