also known as Tony A. Potter, Tony Potter
I have been a practicing attorney in Kansas since 1995. I have extensive experience in family law including divorce, child custody, parenting time, and child support. I have handled more than 300 cases from beginning to end ranging from simple divorces to highly contested custody cases and appeals.
I have been a mediator in both domestic and civil law since 2000 and have mediated over 300 cases primarily concerning divorce and child custody.
Retaining an attorney is an important decision. My goal in representing a client is to make certain the client understands the legal process, the options and rights available to the client, and to be sure the client is comfortable not only with the process but with my representation. Priority is given to eliminating the fear of the unknown and explaining the court process clearly.
Good communication between an attorney and client is essential, and I make it a part of my everyday practice to respond to clients timely and to address any issues that need to be resolved. I will not make promises I cannot keep, and I will not give advice or make statements to simply make a client happy. Clients deserve to know the good and bad issues in their cases, and to be prepared for all aspects of the court process and what can happen.
I enjoy what I do very much, but I realize that the legal process may not be enjoyable for those going through it. I want to get my clients through their case as quickly as possible, always making sure that all issues are addressed and questions answered. Going through a divorce or custody case is stressful. Dealing with your lawyer should not be. Thank you for your time.

Honest, Hard-working, Fights for What is Right!
I was recommended to Tony Potter by an acquaintance the day after I was unexpectedly served divorce papers. I was in total shock and the opposing side was trying to pull the Ol' "hit em hard and fast". Tony controlled the situation from the get-go, working to de-escalate, identity the facts, and dele...

Divorced through Tony's diligence and attention to detail

The Best of The Best, By Far!
I have to admit I was blown away by Mr. Potter from the first meeting I had with him. I had never met with an attorney who had the ability to take background of a custody case, immediately put it into an outline in their head and then articulate, on the spot, exactly how they were going to present t...

For those clients with high expectations, Mr. Potter has my vote.
