Biographical Information
Robert (“Bobby”) Thrasher is a skilled trial attorney and fierce advocate for victims of sexual abuse, motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, and other personal injury cases. With a track record of securing major jury verdicts and favorable settlements, he is known for his strategic litigation approach and relentless pursuit of justice. Each year since 2019, he has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, a distinction awarded to the top 2.5% of attorneys in Missouri and Kansas.
Beyond his legal work, Bobby thrives on competition, exploration, and connection. He enjoys spending time with family and friends, where board and card games add a fun, competitive edge to every gathering. A game passed down through three generations remains a family favorite, serving as both entertainment and a link to the past. Weekends at the lake offer a stress-free escape, filled with relaxation, laughter, and cherished moments with loved ones.
An avid sports fan, Bobby finds energy and excitement in live events, whether it’s a game, a concert, or a theater performance. He admires the skill and precision it takes to captivate an audience – on the field, on stage, or in the courtroom. His love for golf and skiing fuels his competitive spirit, challenging him to refine his focus and adaptability. A true adventurer at heart, he enjoys traveling, trying new restaurants, and embracing new experiences, always seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with people and places – a mindset that also drives his strategic and dynamic approach to advocating for his clients in the courtroom.
