Danny C. Trent
For about 38 years Dan’s practice emphasized a wide variety of civil and commercial litigation for the firm, as a part of his general practice. In 2020 he shifted that focus to a more transactional practice emphasizing estate planning, probate and trust administration, real estate and business transactions, business formation, debtor/creditor relations, contract disputes, land use issues, and property liens. For over 30 years Dan has provided services as a City Attorney and/or City Prosecutor, and also has advised water districts, and a drainage district. His varied practice even includes acting as a fact-finder for labor impasses between public employers and employees. Dan also devotes a significant amount of time advising and assisting our not-for-profit clients.

Joseph P. Perry
Retired
Joseph P. Perry
Our founder, Joseph Perry, began full time law practice in Bonner Springs, Kansas, in May 1977, in an office on Front Street. In 1981 Joe refurbished the Professional Building at 144 No. Nettleton Avenue, and in September 1982 brought in Danny Trent, another recent KU Law graduate to do primarily domestic relations, and civil and criminal litigation. With Joe focused on transactional work with business clients, life and estate planning, and probate work, the relationship continued becoming Perry and Trent, L.L.C. in 1998. Shane Lillich joined the firm in late 2000.
Over the years Joe has been a community leader, a valued mentor to young attorneys, particularly with his partners and has guided this practice skillfully, and patiently. In 2018, our colleague completed his much deserved and anticipated retirement from law practice. We wish him well, and promise to continue the same competent and caring legal representation he modeled through the years.
Thank you, Joe!
