Modification of Child Support/Parenting Plan

Hands down, Maggie is one of most knowledgeable regarding family law. She gave sound guidance and was straight forward on what where we stood. Maggie and her team worked tirelessly to mediate with my ex-husband and attorney however ultimately, we had to go to trial. I was impressed with her attenti...on to details, her quick response within communication, and overall genuineness throughout my yearlong case. Don't get me wrong, Maggie is no push over and can pull punches when needed! She demonstrated the right balance to win our case.

Best divorce/child custody attorney!

Maggie is hands down the best divorce/child custody attorney in Kansas City! She is very knowledgable, explains things well and understands that situations can be stressful! She is level-headed and keeps unnecessary emotion out of conversations. I had confidence that what she told me was from firs...t hand experience in her field and from working in the courtroom. She is professional, yet down-to-earth. She and her staff are responsive, organized and just overall great to work with! I would HIGHLY recommend her if you're looking for a professional attorney that will fight hard for you! She's truly your advocate!

Maggie is an outstanding attorney who listens, cares, and will provide the best advice regarding the situation. She is thorough and will fight for what is entitled to you. I’m grateful I hired her to represent me in a divorce negotiation issue.

Caring, thorough attorney

Maggie is a thorough attorney and advocates for you as a client for what is fair. She is honest, straightforward, and she and her team worked diligently throughout my divorce, making sure nothing was missed. I always felt I was well represented. Maggie knows family law extensively and is well-respe...cted in her field. She was consistently available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend her, not only because of her expertise as a family law attorney, but also because she genuinely cares about her clients and cases.

Advocated for me as a father in my custody dispute

Maggie advised and represented me in my child custody dispute. Maggie did an excellent job advising me of my rights as a father and parent. She also came up with a very successful strategy to help me throughout the litigation process. This strategy always kept my child’s welfare at the forefront. She... made sure that litigation stayed between the parents and never implicated my child. Her council ultimately culminated a successful judgment for myself and my child. Maggie was timely, very well prepared and offered excellent realistic legal advice. In my experience litigation is expensive. However, I felt I was always very fairly billed for Maggie’s time and council. She did a great job of consolidating emails, phone calls, and meetings to mitigate expenses. She also did a good job explaining and estimating the cost of my litigation. Overall I had an excellent experience retaining Maggie Anderson as my attorney and I get to spend more time with my child because of her council and help.

Family lawyer | Jan 26

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Maggie knows that each case is more than a case number on a shelf. She sees her clients for who they truly are . . . a mother or a father. Someone's brother or sister. Someone in need. She believes that each case is someone's story that she can help write. Blessed with a strong sense of social justice, she brings a passion and energy to each case that helps provide strength to her clients in often their darkest moments. Knowledgeable in the law on both sides of the state line, Maggie has developed a strong reputation for not only zealous advocacy, but for doing the right thing. She is still one of those lawyers you can make a handshake deal with. I have always had tremendous respect for Maggie, and that is a sentiment that is shared by many of our colleagues and the judiciary. For these reasons and more, I highly endorse Maggie Anderson."
