Rian F. Ankerholz

I hired Than to represent me in my divorce case. He seemed knowledgeable, available and willing to go to bat for me at first. Then after receiving my retainer, it would take him a week to respond to emails. He became interested in taking the path of least resistance and even after communicating ...serious concerns about my former spouse, he acted nonplussed. It came to the point where I felt as if I had to convince him to stand up for my rights, rather than him looking for ways to represent me. Unfortunately, I had to fire him when it became clear he had a previous working relationship with another attorney who was representing my ex spouse, which caused a conflict of interest. Even after I fired him and he filed the papers to withdraw representation on my case, he still was in contact with the attorneys representing my ex spouse. Rian, on two separate occasions, attempted to reinsert himself into my case and handled my personal and financial information with other parties. This lead me to have to reach out to the Missouri and Kansas State Bar associations. I cannot in good conscious, recommend Rian as an attorney.
