Attorney Advertising. Past results do not guarantee future results. Every case is different and should be judged on its own merits. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements. Lathrop & Gage L.C., 2345 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri 64108
