Neis Michaux Law Office – Topeka, KS

Topeka’s Consumer Bankruptcy Specialists

Neis Michaux Law Office stands as a distinct pillar of financial relief in Topeka, Kansas, holding the unique title of being the city’s only law firm dedicated exclusively to consumer bankruptcy law. Founders Mark Neis and Jill Michaux are a husband-and-wife team with over 85 years of combined legal experience. They have built a reputation for providing compassionate, non-judgmental assistance to individuals and small businesses facing overwhelming debt. Unlike many general practice firms, they do not represent institutional creditors, banks, or mortgage lenders, ensuring their loyalty remains 100% with you, the debtor.

Areas of Practice

The firm focuses solely on helping clients navigate the complex bankruptcy code to achieve a fresh financial start. Their expertise covers:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Often called ‘liquidation’ bankruptcy, this process helps discharge unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills, allowing clients to reset their financial lives.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Known as ‘reorganization’ bankruptcy, this option allows individuals with regular income to restructure their debts into a manageable payment plan, often saving homes from foreclosure.
• Small Business Bankruptcy: Assisting local business owners in resolving insolvency issues while protecting their livelihoods.

Board Certified Expertise

Mark Neis and Jill Michaux are not just experienced; they are distinguished experts in their field. They are the only attorneys in Topeka to be Board Certified in Consumer Bankruptcy Law by the American Board of Certification. This certification requires rigorous testing and peer review, signaling a level of proficiency that goes beyond standard legal practice. They are also founding members of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA), staying at the forefront of changes in bankruptcy legislation to better serve their clients.

Accessible Office Location

The firm has recently moved to a modern, accessible suite in the Southwest Plaza Office Building. Located at the intersection of SW 29th Street and Arnold Avenue, just east of Gage Boulevard, the new office is designed with client comfort in mind. The facility is situated on the ground floor, meaning there are no stairs or elevators to navigate. If you are looking to find a lawyer who can guide you through the stress of financial insolvency with dignity and expertise, Neis Michaux offers a welcoming environment to discuss your options.
