My wife decided to divorce me after 35 years of marriage. I was very concerned about what this would do to my financial future, and especially being late in my career, my future retirement. I had heard many horror stories about how the laws in Kansas favor the female in a divorce. Only having very limited experience with lawyers, I decided to treat my lawyer selection like an interview process. I scheduled meetings with 2 lawyers to get started. Prior to my meeting with the lawyers, I reviewed all of my divorce papers in great detail. I identified several significant concerns with the terms that my ex’s legal counsel created. My first lawyer meeting was with Desiree Smith.
When I met with Desiree, my first question was about how she was going to represent me. Was I just a lost cause, because I was a male, or was she going to fight for everything she could get for me to protect my future retirement? She reassured me that she was working for me, and she would be doing everything she could for me. She asked me several general questions to understand our financial situation, and then laid out the typical scenarios that could happen in my situation. That immediately set me at ease, knowing that my financial future was not ruined, and that I had a path forward. She then reviewed the terms in the divorce papers. Within only 3-4 minutes of review, and without my assistance, she identified every concern I had about their terms, and a couple more that I hadn’t noticed. At that point, I knew I had found the right person to represent me, and I didn't need to meet with the next lawyer.
Throughout the rest of the divorce process, Desiree’s experience and knowledge showed in every conversation we had. She could quickly discuss detail, easily recall detail from previous meetings, easily answer questions, and was able to help me think through strategies for moving forward. Every meeting I had with her was very productive.
In the end, Desiree helped get a great settlement for me, and we did it without going to court. I got a far better settlement than I ever thought possible in the beginning, and I feel like I probably got a better settlement that most divorced men. Desiree was a very big part of making that happen. I can’t say enough about her knowledge, and how she could explain legal concepts in ways easy for me to understand. Desiree was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Desiree to help anyone through their family legal needs!

Jennifer Goheen and her associates are the absolute best people to have in your corner during your legal battle, no matter how large or small the matter you need assistance with. She is never going back down against any fight and never fails to design a rock-solid strategy and adjust it accordingly to all hurdles thrown into the mix. Her advice itself has never led her clients astray but when she steps into the courtroom, the other attorneys slated against her clients are known to visibly quake in their seats - and often, they will entirely recuse themselves from the case to avoid the inevitable crushing loss. If you need an all-star, tough as nails and unshakable attorney for your legal fight, Jen is hands down the BEST person to hire. I cannot say that her services are cheap, because you're paying for pure dedication and a guaranteed win, but that's worth every single penny when you absolutely need a judgement in your favor. I've recommended Jen to my nearest and dearest friends and family for years and I recommend her to anyone who reads this. She is more than an attorney - she's a rockstar.

I want to thank Mr. Nolla for his expertise in the field of immigration law. I have consulted Mr. Nolla for several cases and his assistance on matters is prompt, direct and always helpful. It is refreshing to have a colleague that not only is willing to help another, but does so with true integrity.

I've been a client of Randall Price for over 20 yrs now and he's always gotten satisfactory results in my cases. I still have him as my lawyer on my Workman's Compensation case with a school. He put a lot of hours into this case!! It was a super difficult case. He went to bat for me then and is still going to bat for me against the Work Comp insurance company's shenanigan's. He will always have your back as your lawyer too!! He's a real nice guy, always asking how I'm doing when I call if I have a question or problem. I'm truly blessed to have found him !

Throughout the entire process, Mr. Studdman demonstrated a remarkable ability to navigate the intricacies of the legal system, always keeping me informed and involved in every decision.
Equally commendable is the invaluable support provided by Jeff, the paralegal at Micheal Studdman Law Office. Jeff's timely and proficient work played a crucial role in driving positive results for my case. His attention to detail, efficiency, and dedication to ensuring every aspect of the case was meticulously handled did not go unnoticed. I am immensely grateful for Jeff's contributions, which undoubtedly contributed to the successful outcome of my case.
Beyond their professional expertise, what truly sets Micheal Studdman and his team apart is their genuine care and concern for their clients. Mr. Studdman not only prioritized the legal aspects of my case but also demonstrated a sincere interest in my overall well-being, both mentally and physically.
