After completing my education and working for 7+ years with a downtown Kansas City business law firm, I started a solo practice dedicated to serving the needs of my clients as effectively and as efficiently as possible. I keep my overhead low so that I am able to provide competent legal assistance for fees lower than big law firms. I put my masters in tax law degree to use in my practice which focuses on estate planning and probate law, where I was recognized in 2008 and 2009 as a Super Lawyer-Rising Star in Kansas and Missouri, taxation, business law and traffic/DUIs. I also have an extensive practice in divorces and adoptions. Finally, my office also serves the needs of clients in landlord/tenant, real estate and contract law.

I enjoy the opportunity to work with my clients and feel like I have provided not only a professional service for them, but also a personal service for them. I have both a business, tax and agricultural background.

The Mathews Group, LC was founded by attorney Joshua T. Mathews. Mr. Mathews started his career as a Tax and Transactions attorney, but was quickly recruited into business and personal civil litigation.



Mr. Mathews practices in areas from bankruptcy to federal criminal defense, (selected by the Department of Justice as a member of the CJA Panel). He opened The Mathews Group, LC because he fundamentally disagreed with many traditional legal practices, especially hourly billing, which in addition to creating a "blank check" for the attorney, dis-incentivized clients from communicating with their attorney about their legal issues.



The Mathews Group, LC has attorneys in Kansas and Missouri, and assists clients with Bankruptcy, Family Law, (Divorce and Child Custody), civil and criminal litigation, estate planning, tax planning and defense, and more.



Despite practicing in areas that are rife with scandal, like foreclosure defense and loan modification, The Mathews Group, LC maintains an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, largely as a result of our Promise of Fair Dealing and commitment to Constant Communication.
