You may need personal counsel, and you want to avoid choosing legal counsel in Missouri that will simply pass you off to an assistant or push you through an assembly line of clients. Here is what one client had to say about The O’Connor Law Firm:
“I have had three Kansas City attorneys before finally finding Matt. He is the first one that really fought for me and took the time to understand why the issues were so important. I was so pleased with his work that I sent a copy of a letter he sent to a relative that remarked, “Finally! You have someone that is fighting for you.”

Often clients may assume that an aggressive or “bulldog” Kansas City lawyer is best for their divorce. That is not accurate. Often the aggressive or overly confrontational lawyers end up driving up the cost of the divorce and could add to the emotional injury in the divorce by exacerbating the already sensitive time with tactics that leave a bitter taste.
