About John
Biography
John Bodle grew up in Lawrence and has lived here most of his life, earning both undergrad and law degrees from the University of Kansas – bachelor of arts (linguisitics, with distinction) in 1985 and jurisdoctor in 1989. He began his legal career as a military lawyer, serving six years as a United States Air Force judge advocate before returning to Lawrence to enter private practice.
“I became a lawyer because I wanted to help regular, ordinary folks with the kinds of problems you might think shouldn’t require a lawyer, but, in today’s complex world, most certainly do require a lawyer. Family law and bankruptcy are at the top of that list. Most of the concepts are really pretty simple, but putting the law into practice is about as complicated as it gets.”

Worst lawyer experience of our lives. He will take your money and get pointless revenue and always agree with the other party and never represent his own clients purposely. This is the worst lawyer I’ve ever had any contact with through speeding tickets, family, law, or simple Dispute with neighbors ...
