I graduated with from the University of Kansas in 1988 with a B.A. in History and Political Science. I left home to attend law school in Michigan beginning in January, 1989.
I graduated from law school a semester early in the September, 1991. I sat for and passed the Michigan Bar Exam in January, 1992. While in law school was a student law clerk for the Hon. Michael Harrison in the Ingham County Circuit Court. During the year after graduation I was the law clerk to the Hon. James Fleming in the Jackson County (Michigan) Circuit Court.
After working in small general practice firm, I returned home to the Kansas City Area in 1993. I have been practicing law in the Kansas City Area since. We have our main office in North Kansas CIty and satellite offices in Liberty and Leavenworth.
Since 1999, I have focused on representing individuals and small businesses in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy cases and individuals and small business owners in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy cases. I also represent creditors in Chapter 7, 11, and Chapter 13 cases. Our firm handles personal injury cases, workers' compensation, immigration, and traffic matters.
I have found my representation of clients going through Bankruptcy to be rewarding and challenging.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, shooting trap and skeet, and watching the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas Jayhawks.

Wonderful Bankruptcy Attorney
Mr. Barlow was amazing! He was kind and patient and an excellent communicator (and semi-therapist). He walked me through the process and made things easy. Would definitely recommend him for whatever he can do for you!

Professional and Courteous
David handled my bankruptcy case seamlessly. I didn’t feel judged and he understand that life happens. He really got the best outcome for me as I didn’t know what Chapter I would fall under.

Complex Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Handled Very Well
We met and discussed a difficult financial situation with Mr. Barlow. He explained all options and discussed "next steps." We chose to file Chapter 13 - and it was a five year plan.
