Nothing is more emotional than a legal case involving those closest to you. Whether it’s divorce, child custody, or paternity, your family’s success is the heart of our business. We strive to help you build a strong foundation for your family’s future.

Our Approach
We believe that many cases are best resolved when both parties can agree on a fair and just resolution of their case. As your lawyer, we guide you through this process. We work to resolve all of the issues with the opposing party, and when helpful work with experienced mediators who are trained to help a family collaborate and work together to resolve their differences.
However, not all cases can be resolved by mediation. For those cases, you need an aggressive and passionate attorney who will fight for your case in court. At Heartland Law, we are experienced litigators prepared to fight for a successful outcome for your family.
If you have a family law issue, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at (816) 842-6700. All initial half hour consultations are entirely free of charge. We look forward to working with you and your family.
