Family Law

Kansas City Family Law Attorney

Family-related legal issues are perhaps the most emotionally charged of all legal matters that you may face.  These are extremely sensitive matters involving the details of your personal relationships, which may include issues relating to child custody, division of property, spousal support/maintenance, child support, and more.  Serious decisions will need to be made at a time when you may be overwhelmed by confusion, uncertainty, and doubt.  At such a critical juncture in your life, you need objective legal advice, straight-forward guidance, and a clear understanding of your legal situation that only an experienced attorney can provide.

At Krigel & Krigel, P.C., our family lawyers are driven by a governing philosophy that seeks to solve rather than create unnecessary contention.  We take the title “counselor” seriously and believe in a taking a holistic view, considering all aspects of our client’s lives including their long-term goals.  Our attorneys are sensitive to the legal challenges that arise with complicated and emotionally charged family dynamics, and are committed to providing common-sense advice that best serves our client’s specific needs.  We don’t believe in scorched-earth litigation tactics, but do enjoy actively litigating in the courtroom when necessary.
