Kara Lyn Breshears

I have been with The Piatchek Law Firm since 2011. I am a native of Southwest Missouri, and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture Business from Missouri State University. I earned my Juris Doctorate from University of Missouri -- Kansas City. While attending law school I was actively involved in the Sports and Entertainment Law Society, Appellate Advocacy Competition, Mock Trial Competition, and also attained the Dean’s List for academic achievement. After attending Law School, I had the opportunity to return to the Springfield area. My practice areas currently include Uncontested Divorce, Traffic Law, Estate Planning, Real Estate, Contract Law, Business Law, Litigation, and Criminal Law.

I am very fortunate to work in the practice areas that I do. Not every attorney can say that they truly have helped families grow, move forward, and be successful. I pride myself on being a Counselor to my clients and am willing to help them through troubling and successful times by being someone to lean on. It is a very rewarding feeling knowing that I have made a positive impact in someone’s life. I have guided many individuals through the process of setting up their wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents. In addition, I offer a wide array of business law services, and have lead many small business owners though the process of setting up their businesses, reviewing and creating contracts, and assisting owners with business their business concerns.

I find that helping the area I grew up is very important to me. I am currently involved in the United Way of the Ozarks and sit on their Community Investment Council, where I assist in evaluating local non-profits’ proposals for safety and income plan to better our community. I also am currently a member of the National Association of Professional Women. Additionally, I am actively involved in the Sigma Sigma Sigma Alumnae Group at Missouri State University.

During my free time, I like to spend time with my family and friends, traveling to historic baseball parks across the nation, and reading.
