I hired Mrs. Cooper to represent me in my divorce case. Her and her staff are knowledgeable, precise, and helpful. Communication was timely and met all my expectations throughout the process of the case. I feel her value exceeds her "price". I would highly recommend her and her staff. Thank you. UPDATE 2/2/2022: I don't take the edit/update of my initial review lightly... Before I begin, the following is my personal recollection and opinion... For what she was asked to do during her representation of me at the original divorce hearing, She performed her duties well. The reason for this update is to inform potential clients of my experience to date. The original divorce was an amicable split and my ex and I were communicating and hashed out the division of assets and simply had our respective lawyers file the agreement so as to finalize the divorce. In that capacity, I was extremely pleased. Fast forward to 2022 and my ex pursued child support modification. I employed Kelli Cooper and her staff to represent me in this matter since they were familiar with the original filing as well as the fact that at and after the finalization of the divorce she was still listed with the JOCO court system as my legal representation. This resulted in my exes legal representation filing/requesting modification through Kelli Cooper. There are multiple factors in this child support modification filing that made it much more complex than the original divorce filing. In the role of representing me during the modification Kelli Cooper was required to meet with Judge O'Grady and opposing counsel via zoom. The reason for this "meeting" was determine if a trial was necessary. Her representation at this meeting was non existent... Myself and Kelli Cooper were not allowed to verbalize my defense or an understanding of the modification requested. Opposing counsel embarrassed her and myself. At this point, I immediately reached out to Kelli Cooper for explanation of the lack of representation... her response was less than desirable. As the process progressed, Kelli Cooper was outmatched and the level of communication that I was accustomed to was no longer present. As we approached trial, she worked to settle unsuccessfully. At no point, and I want to preface this by saying I am not writing this review because I didn't get a positive outcome, I'm writing this because the outcome was because she was not capable or knowledgeable enough to represent me. As I was saying, at no point did Kelli Cooper instill me with a sense of confidence that she had educated herself or prepare a defense for me. At a pre trial meeting, that I had to request , she was not prepared and was referring to emails and other documentation as we spoke. There was no confident presentation of defense pending a trial at that time. This meeting was scheduled weeks in advance. We did not go to trial, I had no desire to put my adult child on parade in a child support modification. The whole point of hiring Kelli Cooper was to avoid this situation. After I had agreed to settle, I waited 2 weeks for the pending legal documents. I reached out to Kelli Cooper and her staff. I asked for a status update and was informed that they had no updates, I reached out again for an update and received a one word reply-"no". Ten weeks later I received an invoice from Kelli Cooper for payment of $12.50...This Invoice was not prefaced by an update on the status as requested previously. Limited characters per review require a closing. In my opinion, Kelli Cooper is adequate in simple disputes. In a more complex dispute, requiring a higher level of representation, such as mine, she was inadequate. As a consumer, I take responsibility for my choice to purchase her services. Had I read a review such as this one, I would've been better educated and prepared to pursue a higher level of services. Again, this review is my personal opinion. I am responsible for retaining Kelli Cooper after the "red flags". Legal representation is very expensive. Choose wisely

Jill was an incredible find. I knew the instant we spoke over the phone she knew exactly what she was doing. If she doesn’t respond to you right away, don’t fret. She’s saving you money by not answering every little thing. If you have a court date, she will be there ready to go to battle for you. If you need her to be more responsive, just say so. She’s fantastic at answering questions in detail and putting you at ease. Don’t be afraid to ask for more detail if you don’t understand. I’ll never use another family law attorney again. Jill will be getting my repeat business in the future. I also recommend her to everyone I know. Supremely pleased with her performance. A++++

Jill does an outstanding job and is always willing to go the extra mile to get things done. I would highly recommend her.

Mr. Laster represented my ex-wife in our divorce, and had no problems at all shamelessly restating her outrageous, exaggerated, vindictive, and false claims in both written pleadings and with repetitive and abusive demonstrations of bullying the worried father during courtroom proceedings with a straight face. If you really want to stick it to your spouse, get maximum child support, full custody, and openly perpetrate a lasting parental kidnapping, he's your go-to guy.

I have little to no experience with lawyers in a professional setting and any legal process makes me very anxious. When 2020 struck with a round of legal shenanigans, I found Jill and she assured me that everything would be ok. ...it was. I was a confused mess through every step, but she told me what I needed to know right before I needed to take any kind of action. At times I was upset about the lack of news, but after communicating my need for more communication, things rounded out. Jill is a quiet, low stress, lawyer that seems to take everything in stride. If you have questions, be persistent! Communicate. She is worth wait for the response. Thank you for your time and help through this crazy mess. I appreciate you.

I had high hopes when we retained Carl as our attorney, but was later disappointed how he handled the case against my spouse by taking the easy way out instead of fighting for a trial. I am a woman of faith and know that had he pushed for a trial instead of encouraging a plea deal things would have been totally different. He talks a good talk until he is paid in full, then resorts to not living up to what he promised to do, which is fight until the end!

If you're in trouble with the law and need some help, give this guy a call! He will give you great and fair representation for an affordable cost considering his 37+ years of professional expertise. A++!

I've watched him defend for friends of mine. He's a great fair guy to his clients New and old. I would say one of the Criminal Defense attorneys in Kansas $$ can buy.
