At a Financial Crossroads?

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone

Shaw + Boyce brings rare legal expertise to Missouri and Kansas families who need it most.

You've been carrying this longer than you have to.

Maybe it started with a letter you didn't open. Or a number that kept growing. Or a call you dreaded making. Whatever brought you here, you're not too far gone. And you're not alone.

 

Most people who reach out to us have been carrying this for months. They've tried everything they could think of on their own. They hoped things would work themselves out.

 

The number one thing people tell us after working with Shaw + Boyce:

 

"I wish I had called sooner.”

Whatever you're dealing with, there's a path.

Debt that's become impossible to manage.

Whether you're drowning in minimum payments or just got served with a lawsuit, bankruptcy may give you a path forward you haven't seriously considered yet.

 

It's almost never as bad as you think.

A tax problem that's been growing.

An IRS notice. A balance you can't pay. Years of unfiled returns. These situations feel enormous.

 

You almost certainly have options the IRS is not telling you.

Losing someone and inheriting the paperwork.

When a parent or spouse passes, there's often a pile of financial and legal loose ends that someone has to deal with.

 

We handle the complex parts so your family doesn't have to.

Student loan debt that’s holding you back.

You've probably been told you're stuck with it. Most people think that’s it. 

 

There are more options than you think.

Dividing retirement in a divorce.

QDROs are technical, easy to get wrong, and something most divorce attorneys refer out.

 

We know how to get you what you deserve.

You deal with an attorney. Every time.

Not a paralegal. Not a case manager. Not someone who hands you off once you sign. When you call Shaw + Boyce, you get us from the start.

We keep you in the loop.

The number one complaint about attorneys is not hearing back. We've built our process so you always know where things stand, even when the answer is "we're waiting."

We make it easy to move forward.

Video calls. Digital documents. Online payments. You don't have to take time off work to get help.

We've handled the hard cases.

We've analyzed and resolved thousands of cases, many of them situations other attorneys turned away. Very little surprises us. And very few situations are as hopeless as they feel.

What working with us actually looks like.
