About Joseph
Biography
Attorney Joe Jeppson has been representing debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy since 2006 with the goal of protecting the rights of consumers living in the Kansas City metropolitan area and surrounding western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
After earning his law degree from University of Missouri School of Law and his admission to The Missouri Bar, he worked for two Kansas City bankruptcy firms, and, at the second, rose to the rank of partner. Since founding his law firm in 2011, he has continued to focus on growing his knowledge of bankruptcy law. As a result of his efforts, the American Board of Certification has recognized him as a board-certified consumer bankruptcy attorney.
In the years since Mr. Jeppson began his legal career, he has earned the respect of the legal community. He has served on the board of directors for the Kansas City Bankruptcy Bar Association in multiple roles, most recently as President. Attorney Jeppson is also a regular guest speaker at legal events and a presenter of continuing education classes.
Mr. Jeppson’s involvement in the legal community is not limited to the organizations he helps lead. He is also a member of a number of associations, including the American Bankruptcy Institute.
In his free time, Mr. Jeppson enjoys listening to audiobooks, competing in triathlons, and spending time with his wife and three children.
