Calan McConkey is an Excelsior Springs native and graduated from Excelsior Springs High School in 2002. After high school, he attended college at the University of Missouri, obtaining degrees in biology and psychology. He then continued his education by attending law school at the University of Missouri, graduating in 2009. Shortly thereafter, he moved back to Excelsior Springs and opened his law office.
|
|
The law office, located at 1902 W. Jesse James Road, focuses primarily on general practice areas (criminal, traffic, family, civil), but also provides intellectual property services. Specifically, Calan is a registered patent attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which allows him to file applications for patents and trademarks. In addition to filing applications, he can also advise clients on the proper procedures to develop and, more importantly, protect their intellectual property.
"I am very excited to be back in my hometown of Excelsior Springs and helping members of my community," said Calan. "I joined the Chamber because I feel that my office can provide services that may be beneficial to local business owners -- protection of intellectual property and other aspects of business development. I am also excited about meeting other Chamber members and representing local businesses in the community."
