About
I have been helping individuals resolve difficult financial problems for a long time. While attending Washburn School of Law, I worked as a paralegal in the office of a bankruptcy attorney. Since 2006 I have been actively engaged in the practice of consumer bankruptcy law.I enjoy working with individuals and helping them get a fresh financial start. So I do that exclusively. I just don’t have much interest in representing large business entities.Although my office is in Topeka, KS (where the U.S. Bankruptcy Court is located), I help individuals from throughout the State of Kansas. If you call me today, I can generally meet with you tomorrow.My father, now mostly retired, has practiced law since 1974, so I naturally grew up thinking I wanted to do something else. And for many years I did.At age 15, three of my friends and I started a punk rock band called The Micronotz. That was our primary extra-curricular activity all through high school and into college. We produced several record albums and a couple of cassettes (if you remember what those are), became regionally well known, and continue to this day to be legends in our own minds. Occasionally, I still play when I can find a group looking for a decent “axman.”I did find time to graduate from Lawrence High School as a Merit Scholarship Finalist, attended KU on a Merit Scholarship, and ultimately received a degree in English.Like most aspiring musicians (and English majors), I spent a good deal of time working in restaurants to keep from starving to death. Ultimately, I decided to get serious about food and enrolled in the Culinary and Hospitality Program at JCCC. This led to a number of interesting gastronomic adventures and eventually convinced me that it was time to get out of the kitchen.Suddenly, practicing law didn’t seem like such a bad idea. And it has turned out to be a good choice for me.I like practicing in the bankruptcy field because at the end of most days, I go home with a feeling that someone’s life is a little better because I showed up at work.

I have not had to interact with many lawyers, thankfully, however, we all know the jokes about lawyers and the type of people they tend to be. I can say with utmost certainty that Mr. Haprer is the exact opposite of any of those stereotypes about Lawyers. From the first consultation to discharge and closing of my bankruptcy case Mr. Harper kept me appraised of what was happening. Every time I had a question he usually responded within 1 business day to an email and rarely did not answer his phone. I needed assistance getting documentation when my vehicle was totaled by the insurance, and he was able to promptly get me that documentation that I needed. I did retain the vehicle as it was only cosmetic damage, however, I needed the paperwork to be able to retitle the vehicle. When that vehicle quit working in its entirety towards the end of the case, after my final payment but prior to a discharge being ordered, he was able to get me the paperwork needed to apply for financing for a new vehicle in a timely manner.
I called Harper Law Firm because my finances were out of control. Attorney John Harper gave me an appointment to consult with him. During the consultation Mr. Harper explained the bankruptcy process to me, and the difference between a chapter 7 and chapter 13. I hired Mr. Harper and decided to file a chapter 7. Attorney Harper answered all my questions and made the process smooth by ensuring I was safe during the pandemic. Mr. Harper is kind to, affordable, accurate, timely, and prompt. Thanks to Mr. John Harper I have a fresh start.
John was excellent from beginning to end. During the time my case ran, several issues arose and he handled both promptly and successfully. Whenever I had a question or needed advice he answered it clearly. I would absolutely recommend his services.
John Harper took care of everything in my BK case. He worked hard on my case to get it taken care of as quickly as possible. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about filing. He will take care of you!
I hired Mr Harper by word of mouth from other people who have used Mr Harper and had a very good working experience with him. He handled all the legal things so I wouldn't have to worry about that part. Everything went very smoothly and both sides were satisfied with the out come of our case. Very nice man to work with.
Made the whole experience easy to understand. Explained the different types of bankruptcies and helped me choose which would work best for me. I was in a difficult situation and he put me at ease with my decision.
