John S. Carroll

John always wanted to be a lawyer who represents members of the community.
John grew up in Sedalia, Missouri. His father and grandfather were both lawyers and graduates of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. In 2013, John graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in Political Science. John attended law school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, obtaining his law degree in 2016. While in law school, John was on the Dean’s List, a UMKC All Journal Staff member, and served as a Research Editor for UMKC Law Review. In his first year of law school, John was awarded Outstanding Client Counselor. During law school, John’s writing was published in the UMKC Law Review and The Missouri Trial Attorney.
John was hired as a law clerk at DBJ following his first year of law school. After clerking at DBJ throughout law school, John had no doubt in his mind that he wanted to represent people in the community. After passing the bar, John was hired by DBJ as an Associate.
Representing people and making a difference in their lives is what John loves most about his job. Working at DBJ has taught John that with hard work, perseverance, and teamwork, lawyers can make a positive impact on the lives of their clients and the community.
When John isn’t working, you can find him golfing, fishing, and spending time with friends and family.
