Kansas City, KS bankruptcy attorney Hunter Gould shares the background and experience that has prepared him for his current practice. He explains that his background in law begins in law school, where he discovers a strong interest in bankruptcy law and secured transactions. He quickly realizes this could be a path to genuinely help people. Graduating in 2012, after starting in 2009, he witnesses firsthand how financial distress devastates American families during that time. He asks himself who he wants to serve as a lawyer, and the answer becomes clear: everyday working people struggling under the weight of debt. That conviction leads him to become a bankruptcy attorney, a role that allows him to provide real relief to those who need it most.
He earns his law degree from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law in 2012 and is licensed to practice law. His professional achievements include being named a Super Lawyer in the Missouri–Kansas area. Beyond recognition, he values the opportunities he’s had to shape the practice of bankruptcy law. He serves on the Western District of Missouri Bankruptcy Court Attorney Advisory Group and has been invited by bankruptcy judges to participate on subcommittees responsible for drafting local rules. He is also asked to speak at continuing legal education seminars, explaining how those rules impact current practice.
Through these roles, he ensures that the voices of clients seeking relief are represented when procedures are created and refined in the Western District of Missouri, and, to a lesser degree, in the District of Kansas. For him, it isn’t just about accolades—it’s about making sure everyday people have a seat at the table.
