In Memoriam: James H. Hess
In February 2017 we lost our dear friend and colleague Jamie Hess. Jamie served as an investigator for The Accurso Law firm, the Kansas City legal community, and the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office over the course of his more than 35 year career. His work touched the lives of many, bringing truth to victims in need, bringing professionalism that could always be relied upon to the attorneys and staff with whom he worked, and bringing his wonderful and positive personality to all lucky enough to get to know Jamie.
Although we miss him dearly his spirit lives on and encourages us all to press forward for our clients in need.
