Our attorneys are working hard to change the way that people think about lawyers — one client at a time. We return calls and emails promptly, take the time to explain all of your options, and you will always be able to speak with your attorney.
We do some things a little differently than other law firms. We do our very best to return phone calls and emails promptly. We take our time to fully explain and explore all of your legal options, empowering you to make informed decisions. Our attorneys are accessible and will speak with you when you ask for them, or if they are in meetings or in court, they try their very best to get back to you promptly. You will never be limited to speaking to paralegals, secretaries, or support staff, although you will find our staff very helpful. We are happy to give you regular updates regarding your case, so that you remain informed throughout the process.
In short, we care. We believe in treating our clients as we would expect to be treated if we happened to be the client. We combine the friendly service you expect from a small, locally owned business with the honest and knowledgeable advice you expect from a trusted professional adviser.
We offer reasonable, flat rates for many services, and for hourly cases, we provide detailed billing statements showing exactly how our time and your money was used. We also offer contingency fee arrangements in certain cases — no games or hidden costs.

Our attorneys live and work here. Managing Attorney Joe Piatchek was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri and is proud to call the Ozarks his home.
They are great! For the first time in my life I needed an attorney that was not in my family (due to death) and they took care of us like we were family. I would totally recommend them to my friends.
Would & will definitely recommend this law firm. They were not only easy to deal with in all aspects but were more affordable than most other law firms & kept me informed every step of my divorce process.
We had nothing but great service from Piatchek Law Firm. They were friendly, upfront, prompt and took care of our needs swiftly. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney.
