Resolution-Focused Legal Counsel

Resolve Legal Services, LLC is a forward-thinking law firm located near the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. As the name implies, the firm’s primary mission is to find solutions-efficiently, effectively, and often without the scorched-earth tactics of traditional litigation. Led by attorneys Terri Round and Jenny Atterbury, the firm brings a wealth of experience from the public sector to private practice. Terri Round, a former domestic violence prosecutor with over 30 years of experience, and Jenny Atterbury, a former general counsel for a law enforcement agency, offer a unique perspective on Family Law, Mediation, and Employment Investigations.

The firm stands out for its emphasis on Mediation and collaborative dispute resolution. They believe that in many family and civil matters, the best outcome is one the parties craft themselves, rather than one imposed by a judge. However, when litigation is necessary, their background in prosecution and government representation ensures they are formidable advocates in the courtroom.
