Very helpful

Alan was referred to me by a lawyer friend. He was very easy to contact, approachable, empathetic, and kind. While I wasn't able to do what I wanted (legal reasons) he did help me craft a document to state my case and file it. I feel that his fee for his service was fair as well.

Employment Discrimination

I consulted Mr.Alan concerning a Employment Discrimination issue.He was very informative, gave his straight up honest opinion and knowledge. He also gave me his undivided attention to the above matter; helping me to decide what would be my next step to take concerning this matter. I would highly reco...mmend Mr. Alan Kansas to help anyone out with their concerns in Employment Discrimination or other family matters.

I highly recommend Alan!

Alan is highly recommended! He helped me navigate a confusing legal process and walked me through the steps. The first thing I noticed and appreciated was that he answered the phone on my first phonecall to him, which i have heard is rare. He moved things around to meet with me as soon as he could ...and i always felt that he was really listening and invested in my case and had my best interests. He is a genuine person who wants to help you succeed and accomplish your goals. He is also realistic with goals which I appreciated! His sense of humor was greatly appreciated and got me through some of the stress of it

Being treated like a human being matters

Mr. Kansas personally responded to my initial outreach promptly -- on the same day that I first called his office. He made time to meet with me the very next afternoon. It would have been all too easy for his office to put me off for a few days, so I was very appreciative to be treated like a long-ti...me client. Mr. Kansas took a personal interest in actively LISTENING to the details regarding my dismissal from my employer. I received sound, considered, and personalized advice concerning both the risks and benefits of pursuing remedial action. There was no big settlement at stake or a big check to flash on TV. All the same, Mr. Kansas treated me not just as a client, but as a human being with a genuine concern. Sounds like a small thing, but law can be an impersonal field these days. Sometimes, an attentive ear and an open mind can make a lot of difference.

Highly Recommend Attorney!!!

I highly recommend attorney Alan Kansas, he helped us understand our options. Mr. Kansas worked to help defend my rights and protect my job so we did not have to go to court. I think there are a lot of people out there who probably don’t have a case worth pursuing or would be better off avoiding ...that situation, but they make unwise choices and miss opportunities because they don’t understand the law and how the system works. For a few bucks, Mr. Kansas is helping them make choices that are saving them thousands of dollars and avoiding the emotional and financial cost of misplaying their hands. Mr. Kansas understands the law and we will do business with him in the future if needed.
