The Cutlers

Keith and Dana Cutler

Two-time Emmy-nominated trial attorneys Dana and Keith Cutler are the first-ever married couple to preside over a television court show. During their off time, Dana practices education law focusing on charter schools, and Keith is a civil defense trial attorney. Together, they are members of their family’s law firm, James W. Tippin & Associates, in Kansas City, where they practice with Dana’s father.

They’ve been named “Missouri Super Lawyers” multiple times by the legal publishing company, Thomson Reuters. In 2018, Dana was honored as “Woman of the Year” by Missouri Lawyers Weekly at their Annual Women’s Justice Awards. She was the first African-American woman to serve as the President of The Missouri Bar. For the last two years, Keith has been named one of the “30 Power Business Defense Attorneys in Missouri” by Missouri Lawyers Weekly, and is currently the President of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association.

The Cutlers have been married for almost 35 years and have three adult sons.
