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.”

Your Kansas City Divorce Doesn’t Need a ‘Bulldog’

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. There is a difference between aggressive and assertive that is very important when choosing a divorce lawyer.

There is already plenty of aggression inherent in the divorce process. You should consider a divorce lawyer that will stand their ground for you and work to achieve reasonable goals in your divorce. We can’t take away the pain, but we can keep you from suffering more because of an unnecessarily hostile proceeding.

We will help you stand your ground and resolve the matter effectively and efficiently. Divorce is painful enough already. Don’t add to it by being lured into a gutter match that will leave you feeling dirty and broke.

Let us keep you focused on preserving your financial security and working toward a more peaceful future. Our consultations have a fee of $300, but it is credited to any advance fees should you retain our services. Divorce proceedings can’t fix the harm you have already suffered, but it can prevent future harm (Learn more about why Matthew O’Connor is one of the best Kansas City attorneys available to assist you in this trying time).
