About
I have been a practicing attorney in Kansas since 1995. I have extensive experience in family law including divorce, child custody, parenting time, and child support. I have handled more than 300 cases from beginning to end ranging from simple divorces to highly contested custody cases and appeals.I have been a mediator in both domestic and civil law since 2000 and have mediated over 300 cases primarily concerning divorce and child custody.Retaining an attorney is an important decision. My goal in representing a client is to make certain the client understands the legal process, the options and rights available to the client, and to be sure the client is comfortable not only with the process but with my representation. Priority is given to eliminating the fear of the unknown and explaining the court process clearly.Good communication between an attorney and client is essential, and I make it a part of my everyday practice to respond to clients timely and to address any issues that need to be resolved. I will not make promises I cannot keep, and I will not give advice or make statements to simply make a client happy. Clients deserve to know the good and bad issues in their cases, and to be prepared for all aspects of the court process and what can happen.I enjoy what I do very much, but I realize that the legal process may not be enjoyable for those going through it. I want to get my clients through their case as quickly as possible, always making sure that all issues are addressed and questions answered. Going through a divorce or custody case is stressful. Dealing with your lawyer should not be. Thank you for your time.

I have nothing but great things to say about Tony. He is well rounded, educated, and great at advising you with the appropriate courses of action for your case. Him and his team have been spectacular throughout the whole process. Well worth the investment!
Tony was amazing with my case. Tony made more progress with my case in one month then my previous lawyer did in a entire year. He is sharp and has attention to detail and is very kind and compassionate with his words. Changing to his law office was one of the best decisions I have made for my family. His entire staff was wonderful. Margie the front desk lady who answers the phone was kind and compassionate. And Elizabeth and Corrie organized my life and finances better than I could have ever imagined. I am very thankful for their hard work and dedication and their attention to detail in a timely manner. I am beyond impressed and grateful to all of them!
I was recommended to Tony Potter by an acquaintance the day after I was unexpectedly served divorce papers. I was in total shock and the opposing side was trying to pull the Ol' "hit em hard and fast". Tony controlled the situation from the get-go, working to de-escalate, identity the facts, and delegitimize the rhetoric. From day one, He encouraged peace, common sense, good faith, fairness, and seeking resolution rather than just fighting. These moral sentiments early on drove me to stay true to his advice throughout the proceeding. The case only got worse with time, with the other side digging deeper, going lower, showing more hostility and less compromise. Tony's tactic of keeping to the high ground gave us strong leverage on the day of mediation, and a truly just settlement was reached. If it weren't for Tony Potter, I would have lost every dime I owned. Because of Tony's counsel, I am incredibly proud of the way I handled myself throughout the case, and can accept the final settlement as fair. I have the utmost respect for Tony's moral character and method of operating as a divorce attorney.
I went to Tony during the COVID shutdown, after finding his recommendation on Reddit, to modify my custody agreement. I have never been more grateful for Reddit than I was after finding Tony. He answered every single question that I had, no matter how small or silly I thought it was. He made sure that I understood every piece of paper that was filed with the county/state before I signed anything. He also worked very hard for me when the opposing counsel was pushing deadlines or missing them all together. He was never afraid to remind the opposing counsel that they missed another deadline, has loads of grammatical errors, or had missing/incorrect information. He was almost always just a phone call away if I needed anything and made me feel so much more confident about my decision. He fought hard for my case every single step of the way and I could not have been happier. Even though we are almost in the clear, Tony still checks in to make sure that I am getting all the final pieces of our case taken care of. 110% recommend to every single person looking for a family law attorney.
Extremely knowledgeable, fast responses and actions, pragmatic and listened to the needs and complexities of my case. Nothing about divorce or child custody is easy but Mr. Potter is someone I could count on completely through the process. My particular situation involved distance and thanks to prompt communication and flexibility it was never a barrier to having questions answered or moving forward. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Tony was compassionate. My ex and his attorney failed several times to respond in a timely fashion dragging the divorce out to almost a year. He remained steadfast in his values and encouraged me to not be as lenient. He gave wonderful advice and advocated for me. If I could do one thing different, it would have been me actually listening to him while going through limited case management. He gave good advice, but I was in a hurry to get it over with. I caved on something I shouldn't have. Listen to him because he does what is in your best interest.
Tony Potter provided excellent and timely consultation and representation on my very sticky divorce. My ex-husband threw in significant road blocks through the 9 month divorce process specifically related to his desire for me to pay an excessive and unreasonable amount of spousal support. Tony provided me with excellent advise throughout, and early in the case presented to the court a well organized position and rationale in rebuttal to my ex-husband's attorney's argument for me paying a large monthly allowance to my spouse. The judge ruled in my favor. Tony's preparation and no drama approach to my continued divorce proceeding allowed me to complete my divorce through a reasonable settlement with ex-spouse. Tony's prompt and clear communication to me throughout the 9 months allowed me the comfort (in an uncomfortable time) of knowing we were in control.
Going through the process of divorce is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I feel very lucky that I found an attorney to help me through this. Tony was very patient, kind and thoughtful when helping me understand my options. He always took the time to make sure I understood what was going on and helped to answer any questions I had. I believe that he had my best interest in mind at all times. I also appreciate that he is a very calm, level headed person who is very knowledgeable about what he does. I was very pleased with Tony and would recommend him to others.
Tony was very precise and specific with the proceedings. He was very professional and gave good advice to me about how to handle myself. I felt like I had good advice to help me through all the confusing and lengthy paperwork.
Tony is an excellent lawyer. He set realistic goals, listened carefully, was prepared and detailed. He helped me think through different scenarios and worked hard for my benefit. He is intelligent and very professional.
