Kansas Consumer Lawyers

I have concentrated my practice in bankruptcy, foreclosure and consumer debtor issues since graduating from law school. After graduation I practiced in Lawrence, Kansas with an older bankruptcy attorney. In 2014, I moved to Overland Park and started Steinwart Law Office, LLC. My favorite part of my work is helping save people's homes. In addition to bankruptcy and foreclosure work, I have learned the in's and out's of helping people get mortgage modifications. I have successfully completed modifications for clients who tried on their own to get a modification for up a year...

I have been very fortunate to have practiced in the area of antitrust law and class actions since 1975. Complex cases require innovative legal ideas, dogged determination, careful marshalling of facts, and working with other lawyers and experts who share the same goals. I particularly enjoy consumer protection cases and have received grateful letters from consumers when settlements are distributed. It makes the efforts worth the struggle. I have a case pending (In re: Western States Wholesale Natural Gas Antitrust Litigation - Reorganized FLI Inc. v. Williams Companies, et al, 2:05-2389-JAR-GEB (D. Kan.)) that was filed in...

Attorney Ryan D. Knipp was born in Kansas City and graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School in 2006.

Through his work handling bankruptcy cases and suing abusive creditors, he developed the idea of the “Complete Bankruptcy,” which is the model Patton Knipp Dean, LLC uses to ensure every client gets the fresh start...

Tai J. Vokins is one of the state's most aggressive and respected trial attorneys and legal counselors. An experienced trial lawyer, other attorneys often contact Tai to discuss a variety of legal issues. Because he is experienced, it isn't unusual to see Tai take a very complex case to trial. Nicknamed the "bulldog" by former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six, Tai never shrinks away from a challenge. While at the Kansas Attorney General's Office, Tai's case work led to returns of nearly $20 million to Kansas consumers. Tai was regularly assigned cases...

I graduated law school in 1990. After three years in the Public Defender's Office, where I tried over 30 felony jury trials, I opened my solo law practice in 1993. I started filing bankruptcies in 1997, fell in love with it, and I have limited my practice to bankruptcy since 2003. After working in a couple of law firms, I strongly believe clients are better served by direct contact with their attorney, instead of non-attorneys pretending to be attorneys. I truly enjoy using the power of bankruptcy law to help people who feel they have no...
