Courtroom lawyers with real world experience taking on the toughest cases.
Competence, Compassion
and a Commitment to Justice
The law is black and white, but the real world is gray. There are at least two sides to every story. Nothing is as simple as it seems. HARTENSTEIN POOR & FOSTER LLC believes that the remedy to any conflict is understanding. Whether handling a civil lawsuit, a criminal case or a family dispute, our approach is always the same – that is, we listen and learn from the client before we look for a solution. We are legal advocates who tell the story that needs to be told. We are legal counselors who isolate, identify and explain the tough issues. And, we are legal problem-solvers who craft and execute the best possible plan. Our competence comes from decades in the courtroom. But, our compassion comes from our lives outside the courtroom … and, it’s our compassion that makes HARTENSTEIN POOR & FOSTER LLC different.
what we do
HARTENSTEIN POOR & FOSTER LLC promises caring, courtesy, confidentiality and professionalism. Legal problems can destroy businesses, careers and families. People come to us with their serious problems. They come to us at their worst moments. People must have trust and confidence in their lawyers. HARTENSTEIN POOR & FOSTER LLC approaches each case, no matter how large or small, with same professional promise. Every client is unique, and every matter is important.
What Makes Us Different
HARTENSTEIN POOR & FOSTER LLC has more than a century of legal experience. Our focus is the courtroom, and we handle more Sedgwick County cases than anybody else. However, we also understand how things work outside of the courthouse. A lawyer’s worldview is sometimes narrow, naïve and impracticable. We’re different because our principals have all held senior roles in politics, government and business outside the traditional practice of law. We look beyond the statute books to solve problems and resolve disputes. It’s this realistic and diversified experience that makes HARTENSTEIN POOR & FOSTER LLC stand out from the crowd.
