Top best Bankruptcy Lawyers Near me in ZIP 64108

The focus of my practice is helping small businesses reorganize and stay in business through Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.  Too often I've seen businesses shut down because they were either unaware of their options, or could not afford to hire a large, expensive firm to do the work.  We provide big firm knowledge and experience with a small firm personal touch.  Chapter 11 is not just for GM, the law is there to help all businesses, no matter how small.. I have helped businesses in both Kansas and Missouri avert financial disaster and reorganize in Chapter 11.  We can help reduce secured debt, eliminate unsecured debt and restructure tax debt.  All the while we help small business owners continue to operate, pay their employees and relieve them of their financial stress.. I have been in practice for over a decade appearing in over 30 different courts in both Kansas and Missouri.  I have handled numerous Chapter 11's from filing to discharge and can help you reorganize your business into a stronger company that will not only survive but continue to grow.

Hi, my name is Vanessa Curran owner of VC LAW OFFICE, LLC. I have been in the legal field over 20 years. I began my legal career as a legal assistant for a prominent personal injury firm in Kansas City while I was still in undergraduate school.  Attending school and working was valuable experience as I was able to witness what I was learning. Directly after I graduated from law school I moved on from there to become the law clerk for the Honorable Judge John R. O’Malley of the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri.  The knowledge and experience I gathered in this position has proven to be priceless. Along with the relationships I was able to establish and learn from and I continue to benefit from the experience and those contacts today. My last stop before going into private practice was working as a staff attorney for the Division of Family Services, Children’s Division on the abuse and neglect docket. I can’t thank the people I have met and worked with up to this point enough to express my gratitude for everything I learned and the experience I gained and continue to gain. Upon leaving the Division of Family Services I began my solo career in private practice. I have had few different locations over the years. However, I like my new location at 4004 Washington Street KCMO 64111, in Westport.
