I obtained a Biology degree from the University of Kansas in 1998, and was awarded a Juris Doctor degree from Washburn University of Law in 2001.
Starting my career as assistant district attorney in Kansas City, I was primarily assigned to litigating child abuse and neglect cases. I have first-chaired over 20 jury trials since 2001 that involved either a homicide or high level sex offense.
In 2006 I formed Leiker Law Office P.A. to represent clients with various family law issues. Leiker Law Office, P.A. is a family law firm dedicated to providing the highest quality service and representation to clients seeking assistance with divorce, paternity, custody, domestic violence cases, and appeals.
I try to maintain a presence in criminal law even though our focus has been famly law since 2006. In 2013 I was appointed by the governor to sit on the Kansas State Board of Indigent Defense Services and the appointment was unanimously confirmed by the Kansas Senate (elected Board chairman in 2016). This Board generally oversees all of the public defender offices within the state, and the millions of dollars in state funding allocated to the same.

The best choice we ever made was to hire Jeff!!
Jeff represented my husband in a divorce case and is now representing him in a custody case. He is very honest and upfront.

Great Attorney!
Mr. Leiker represented me during my divorce, and he has handled various legal matters for me since that time. I am always impressed with his ideas after we talk about an issue in my case. Highly recommend. Very professional.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had several contested cases with Jeff, on rather difficult issues. He is an honest attorney, and well respected amongst his peers. He is a skilled litigator and aggressive advocate for his client's, but also able to urge for informal resolutions and settlements when the situation calls for them. Jeff is a high caliber attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I would not hesitate to hire Jeff. Unlike some others he speaks directly and honestly. Jeff has substantial experience in and around the courtroom. He effectively litigates cases to achieve his clients' goals."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jeff Leiker is an attorney whom I refer clients. I have never had a complaint regarding any of his services. Jeff in on top of his game when it comes to client management and getting the job done. Jeff is an asset to any client or firm."
