Anita Porte Robb has practiced aviation law for 44 years, obtaining the two highest jury verdicts in U.S. history for helicopter crash wrongful death — $350 million and $116 million — and record-breaking U.S. pretrial settlements of $100 million for individual wrongful death (2024) and personal injury (2018). She represented Vanessa Bryant in the wrongful death lawsuit following the crash that killed Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gianna.

“Every case we handle is the most important case to that client,” she said.

Robb serves on the Board of Governors of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys and is a past president of the Association for Women Lawyers of Greater Kansas City.
