Rustin J. Kimmell

After more than a decade practicing first as an Associate and then as a Partner at a 300+ attorney law firm based in Kansas City, I opened the Kimmell Law Firm in January 2017.

In my experience, clients demand that their outside counsel provide measurable results and quality work on schedule and on budget.  We strive to provide that exact service through planning, budgeting, and best management practices to reach our clients' goals and objectives in the most efficient manner possible.

Prior to entering law, I earned a master's degree in Soil Chemistry from Kansas State University and an MBA from the University of Kansas, with an emphasis in international business and finance.  That education, along with work experience as an environmental scientist for a state regulator and as a consultant for an oil and gas company, provided me first hand experience, and an appreciation for the challenges and entrepreneurial spirit that drives business owners.    

In my legal practice, I have represented clients engaged in a broad breadth of business interests effected by environmental, real estate, and business law. For example, I have counseled clients through administrative disputes involving the Clean Water Act, CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, FIFRA, and the Clean Air Act (and their respective state equivalents). I have also assisted clients in obtaining environmental permits, successfully pursued responsible parties in CERCLA cost recovery and contribution actions, facilitated the environmental due diligence associated with real estate transactions, and enforced contractual agreements between business partners and between business owners and their employees and contractors. In addition, I've defended clients involved in toxic tort litigation, concerning claims of negligence, nuisance, strict liability and trespass associated with alleged exposure to industrial chemicals. 

Because of my background, not only in law but also in environmental science and business, the Kimmell Law Firm can help provide comprehensive business-focused legal solutions so that your business objectives are swiftly and successfully realized.
