A New Beginning for Your Finances and Family
Fresh Start Legal Solutions, LLC is a compassionate law firm in West Wichita founded by attorney John M. Studtmann. With over 25 years of legal experience, John and his team offer a unique blend of services focused on helping people navigate life’s most difficult transitions: financial distress and family changes. The firm’s name reflects its core mission-to provide every client with a ‘Fresh Start,’ whether that means eliminating crushing debt through bankruptcy or reshaping a family dynamic through divorce or adoption. They understand that legal issues are often interconnected; financial stress can lead to marital problems, and divorce can lead to financial hardship. Fresh Start Legal Solutions is equipped to handle both, providing a holistic approach to your legal needs 🌞.
Dual Focus Practice
The firm specializes in two main areas of law that often affect individuals simultaneously:
- Bankruptcy & Debt Relief: Guiding clients through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies to stop wage garnishments, prevent vehicle repossessions, and discharge unsecured debt. They treat bankruptcy not as a failure, but as a powerful legal tool for recovery.
- Family Law: Representing clients in Divorce, child custody disputes, and paternity actions. The firm emphasizes realistic solutions and the well-being of children.
- Adoption: Helping families grow by navigating the legal requirements for step-parent, private, and agency adoptions.
- Estate Planning: Drafting wills and powers of attorney to ensure your family’s future is secure after your fresh start is achieved.
