About Michael E.
Michael E. Whitsitt earned his J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1972. He entered practice the same year and has maintained a presence in the Kansas legal community for decades. He built a practice on steady client work and local ties rather than public spectacle. The record shows a long professional tenure that reaches into both Kansas and Missouri.
He established the Law Office of Michael E. Whitsitt in 1972 and operated under that name for many years. In 2012 he is listed as a partner at WHITSITT & WHITSITT. Later records indicate membership in Whitsitt & Whitsitt, LLC beginning in 2018. Those entries map a career that moved from solo practice to a firm structure. The transitions suggest an attorney who adapted his practice model as client needs and local conditions changed.
Whitsitt is admitted to practice in Kansas and Missouri and has handled matters arising in both jurisdictions. Over time his work has required engagement with local courts and agencies. He has remained in private practice rather than pursuing full-time academic or judicial posts, and his file reflects steady courtroom and office-based work aimed at resolving client matters.
Professional involvement in local legal institutions has been a consistent feature of Whitsitt’s career. He holds current membership in the Kansas Bar Association and the Johnson County, Kansas Bar Association. He also serves on the Johnson County, Kansas Ethics Committee in a membership capacity. Those roles place him in regular contact with ethical and procedural issues that affect other practitioners in the county and state.
The office listed for his practice is Whitsitt & Whitsitt, LLC. In recent years the firm listing and the partner designation show a small-firm environment anchored by long-standing local relationships. After more than five decades in the law, Whitsitt continues to practice in the Kansas legal market and accepts matters that arise in Missouri as well. He currently practices at Whitsitt & Whitsitt, LLC and represents clients in Kansas and Missouri.
