Experienced Wichita Adoption Lawyer and
Family Law Attorney
“Putting Children First”
Even when your kids are grown, you still think of them as your children, and you care what happens to them. At McDowell Chartered, in Wichita, Kansas, we offer experienced, compassionate service for all legal matters that involve children. Call us for a consultation if you have legal questions or concerns.
We are a service-oriented law firm, with an excellent support staff. As a family orientated firm, we are proud to provide high-quality legal services, as well as personal attention and a close relationship with our clients.
Our practice focuses mainly on adoption, family law, juvenile criminal defense, children in need of care, guardianships, estate planning and other probate matters and probate. As adoption lawyers, we handle mainly private and stepparent adoptions. Many military personnel adopt their stepchildren in Kansas because the state allows these adoptions even for military families who are legal residents of other states.
In our family law practice, we prefer to do divorces using the collaborative method of divorce. This is divorce without going to court. Both parties hire their own lawyers, but the lawyers are committed to working toward a settlement. Collaborative divorce is much faster and less expensive than traditional divorce, and the outcome is one that both spouses have agreed to, so it is easier on the children. We also handle child support and child custody matters, including post-divorce modifications.
Many legal problems can be resolved quickly by asking the right questions and getting accurate legal advice. To encourage this process, we offer initial legal consultations at a reduced cost.
Most of the clients at McDowell Chartered come from cities and counties in Kansas such as Wichita, Andover, El Dorado, Winfield, Arkansas City (Ark City), Wellington, Hutchinson, Newton, Eureka, Greenwood County, Butler County, Cowley County, Sumner County, Sedgwick County, Reno County, Harvey County. When you want to talk with a lawyer about an issue involving your children or grandchildren, please call us.
