Kansas City, Mo. – April 3, 2025: Rouse Frets White Goss Gentile Rhodes would like to congratulate Mary Jo Shaney, our longtime partner and executive committee member, on her retirement after nearly 40 years of practice.
Mary Jo brought exceptional skill to her trial and appellate work, which focused primarily on property and constitutional rights. She was a tireless and steady advocate for her clients, and a masterful collaborator with colleagues on complex legal issues. Her numerous awards included selection to the Litigation Counsel of America, a national fellowship composed of less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers.
The firm wishes Mary Jo the very best in her next adventures, whether on her bike, playing the cello, or off somewhere with her family into the wild blue yonder.

Choice of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based solely upon a website or advertisements. In reviewing achievements by the law firm or its attorneys, remember that past results afford no guarantee of future results; each matter is different and must be judged on its own merits. Although our lawyers may practice in subject areas, neither the Supreme Court of Missouri nor The Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialty designations for Missouri licensed attorneys.
