Why WM Law?

We've been there too.

When W M Law’s president, Jeff Wagoner, was 13 his family lost  their family farm. While his childhood included financial hardship, the community rallied around them to help his family cope. This experience inspired him to become a Kansas City bankruptcy lawyer.

From the day our bankruptcy law firm was founded, our emphasis has always been on helping people in Kansas City use bankruptcy the way it was intended – to help give people a fresh start.

W M Law has been serving Kansas City for over 20 years and has four offices around Kansas City that are ready to provide you with caring service and support in your time of need.

You Are Not Alone

Did you know there are over 750,000 personal bankruptcy filings every year?

Everyone goes through some type of financial struggle over the course of a lifetime.

“Hi Jeff… I don’t know if you remember my wife and I…. But we did a bankruptcy with you in Topeka and you said that there were only maybe three law firms in KC that could do what we were doing and you were one of them. So here is an update…. Because of your hard work, we were able to purchase a beautiful home in Mar 2022 as well as a beautiful 2011 Challenger srt8 supercharged and 2017 rzr, etc. Everything is paid off except our house… we are virtual debt-free and I can work comfortably on 40 hrs without chasing overtime. It is wonderful and my 16 yr old son finally has a room outside of an Rv with a basement and game room including a pool table for his friends as well. So this is just a huge very overdue thank you. ”

K.&R.D.

“What a great group of people. I’ll never forget what they did for me and the help they gave me. Thank you all for helping me get my life back on track.”

R.S.

“They have a system, which means they are experienced. Trust the system, do what they ask when they ask. Then sit back and let them do the work.”

T.M.

“Ran into a tough spot with finances a couple of times throughout the past couple of years and W M Law has been so great to work with. They comfort you every step of the way to ensure they are looking out for your best interest. They are always willing to talk and do not get frustrated if you have questions. Shannon is awesome and has reassured me time and time again that no matter what, they have my back.”

M.H.

“W M Law is extremely professional and has a caring, genuine staff. I give them a 10/10, would recommend them!”

E.P.

“Jeff and his staff have helped me when no other attorney would. Not a standard issue but an issue needing his help with. Having my accounts frozen, cheated out of pay, then evicted. Having moved on, and with a good paying stable job, he took my case and he and his staff worked with me, found ways around what other attorneys would not. This law firm does what they say, and help, those who need it.”
