BEARDEN LAW
Healing Lives in Western Missouri
We started as a small team on a mission to protect debtors from harassment by some of the largest banking corporations in the world.
​
Along the way, we've beaten many modern-day Goliaths.
​
We've grown from one attorney, Jovanna, to three as Joe went to law school and Zac joined the fight from Kansas City.
​
Our mission has expanded since Joe and Zac now both take on criminal justice and family law matters.

Our Vision
Our clients often tell us that we take a different approach than other attorneys they have dealt with.
​
Our focus is less on what happens in court and more on making sure that the overall outcome is best for our clients. It is less important that we put a tally in our win column than it is that our clients come away with a better life. We like to do things the right way and we prefer to help our clients tackle their problems, too. That might mean learning to work together with a co-parent, addressing addiction issues, or resolving ongoing budget problems. We avoid extra, expensive legal actions when the underlying problem can be addressed instead.
​
That's not a good fit for every client, but those willing to do their part to fix a tough situation often find the other side will follow their example. Where that's not the case, we've found that our judges tend to honor our clients' hard work, leaving us in a better position for a trial on the merits. We take the high ground then fight from the stronger position.
Caring about our clients and their situations is the key to lasting, positive results.
