David R. Browning, Attorney at Law, a trial lawyer with 30 years of family law trial experience.
I take family law cases in the Kansas City, Missouri area. either contested or settled, :

  • Divorce Cases,
  • Child Custody Modification Cases,
  • Visitation Modification Cases,
  • Paternity Cases,
  • Child Support Collection Cases,
  • Visitation Enforcement Cases,
  • Criminal Child Support Defense Cases
  • Child Support Modification Cases
    • or
  • Wage Withholding Cases
    • that have arisen in these Missouri Courts of the KCMetro Area:
  • Kansas City, Jackson County,
  • Independence, Jackson County,
  • Platte City, Platte County,
  • Liberty, Clay County,
  • Harrisonville, Cass County,
  • Lexington, Lafayette County.

    • I also defend administrative withholding (wage assignment) cases, and administrative paternity establishment cases brought by the Missouri Division of Child Support Enforcement (Agency Cases). These cases are often heard by an administrative hearing officer acting for the Director of that agency.

    One of the hardest things to do is finding the right lawyer when you have a family law problem. So, I hope you won’t mind a few pointers.

    A philosophy of litigation is important: a Family Law Trial Lawyer has to be willing to fight, but too many lawyers encourage fighting to increase their fees. This is your case not mine. I do not have to live with the results after the order, you do. This means that you run the railroad. I work for your interests, not for my own.

    I have been doing this kind of law for thirty years, and there will always be another fight so long as the full moon comes every month. Fighting is not half so important as getting you a settlement that lets you get on with your life.

    No one seeks out a lawyer on a whim. so, let us get into the fundamentals of who I am and what I think you need to know. Just click on a button on the left and let's chase away some fears and ignorance together!

    Oh Yeah, I almost forgot. The Missouri Bar wants me to remind you that:

    Missouri Lawyers are not certified as specialists in areas of the law, but rather are licensed to practice law. In order to facilitate a more accurate "match" with members of the public who are seeking counsel, lawyers who designate an area(s) feel comfortable accepting cases in that particular area of law as a part of their everyday practice.
