Where do we even start with Athena?

As a partner and Personal Injury and Employment Discrimination attorney at Siro Smith Dickson, PC , Athena Dickson has built her career around helping people feel heard and supported while remaining calm, thoughtful and incredibly powerful.

Her philosophy is simple: take the time to listen and make the legal process a little less intimidating for her clients.

Athena has been involved in some big cases. Notably, in 2020, she helped secure a $4.9 million federal jury verdict for a former Zona Rosa general manager who was fired after refusing to participate in diverting charitable parking-meter funds.

She’s also given so much of her time and energy to our legal community. Athena served as KCMBA President in 2020 and now serves as the 2025–2026 President of Missouri Bar. Wow.

She’s also a KCMBF board member and stays deeply involved in mentoring and pipeline programs through Lawyers Encouraging Academic Performance (LEAP) and our Student Law Academy program. Her leadership and dedication have earned her numerous honors, including the 2024 KCMBA Distinguished Counselor Award, the Women’s Justice Awards Mentor Award, and recognition among the Top 50 Women Lawyers in Missouri and Kansas.

What can’t she do? We are yet to figure that out. 😉 We’re just lucky to have a front-row seat to all that she does. 💙

Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating Athena Dickson at the Kansas City Business Journal’s Women of Influence luncheon, where she was honored as a 2026 Women of Influence honoree.

We’re incredibly proud to see Athena recognized for the leadership, dedication, and impact she brings to our firm and our community. This is such a well-deserved honor, and we were thrilled to be there to celebrate this special achievement with her.

Congratulations, Athena! We’re so proud of you!

Amy Jackson is a partner at Siro Smith Dickson PC and practices in the areas of employment discrimination and personal injury, where she dedicates her time to representing workers who have been exploited or discriminated against by their employers and individuals who have been injured.

Since 2023, Amy has served on The Missouri Bar Board of Governors, first as a representative of the Western District and, for the last two years, as a representative for District 12. Throughout her tenure, she served on the Finance Committee, providing oversight and guidance to ensure the financial stewardship of The Missouri Bar. Her service supported responsible fiscal management, accountability, and the effective allocation of resources in furtherance of the Bar's mission and strategic priorities.

Additionally, she served on the Member Benefits Committee, where she evaluated existing member benefit programs and explored new opportunities to enhance the value of membership and better serve members of The Missouri Bar. In addition, Amy serves on the Board of Directors of the Association for Women Lawyers
of Greater Kansas City, The Missouri Bar Client Security Fund Committee, the Joint Commission on Women in the Profession, and the UMKC Law Young Alumni Committee as the Secretary/Treasurer.

From 2019 to 2023, she served as a Kansas City representative on The Missouri Bar’s YLS Council. Amy found her four years of service on the YLS Council a rewarding experience that allowed her to engage and build relationships with the members of the
Board of Governors. This involvement motivated her to continue her involvement within The Missouri Bar. Formerly, Amy served as the co-chair of the UMKC Law Young Alumni Committee and is a graduate of The Missouri Bar Leadership Academy, Class of 2018-2019.

Amy is a lifelong resident of the Kansas City Metropolitan area and a first-generation college graduate and lawyer. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2009 and graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law in 2017. When Amy is not practicing law, she enjoys spending time with her
active threenager, step-children, grandbaby, and her husband, Adam Graves.

Amy has been honored to serve and is committed to continuing The Missouri Bar’s mission to improve the legal profession, the administration of justice, and the law on behalf of the public.
