| Description | I am passionate about helping families and children through life transitions, which is why I have devoted my practice to Family Law and Immigration issues. I’ve been an attorney since 1994, when I was graduated from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, Missouri. I first began the practice of law in Scott County, Missouri as the only public defender assigned to the entire county. After two years in the rural area, my family and I moved to the Kansas City metro area where I joined the Department of Social Services representing the Children’s Division in child abuse and neglect cases. After 8 years with the Department of Social Services, I joined the Earnshaw Hobbs Law Firm PC to continuing and broaden my advocacy skills on behalf of families and children. After almost 6 years with Earnshaw Hobbs, I opened my own firm, Kiske Law Office, LLC, in Zona Rosa. Because I enjoy a challenge, I also work as an Adjunct Professor at Missouri Western State University teaching legal studies classes in the evening, and I produce a yearly concert fundraiser for the Children’s Advocacy Center in St. Joseph, Missouri, to stop child abuse.At the Kiske Law Office, LLC, I am responsible for child custody cases, child abuse cases, divorces, paternities, guardianships, and traffic matters, including DWIs, and immigration issues. I enjoy helping clients resolve their parenting, immigration and other legal issues, and I am grateful for the opportunity to counsel clients on issues related to their children and loved ones.I am also grateful for my personal life experiences that have enabled me to be empathetic with my clients.PROFESSIONAL & BAR ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIPSMissouri BarMember Since: 1994PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT2012 – currentKiske Law Office, LLC, Attorney and Owner.

Attorney1998 – 2001I began in the Independence, MO office as one of a team of eight attorneys representing Children’s Division and Division of Youth Services in the capacity of Permanency Planning and Protective Services Attorney, with an emphasis on litigation and compliance. I met with social workers, supervisors and DSS managers to coordinate and facilitate compliance with federal and state statutes and regulations, and to develop case goals and litigation strategies for cases. I interfaced with community resources including Children’s Mercy Hospital staff, private counsel, private corporations and individuals related to my litigation of Children’s Division cases. I developed and implemented a ‘Training to Testify’ program for social workers and other employees of the Children’s Division. I did legal research and writing in the child welfare area. I facilitated a multi-level study of final case outcome with attorney involvement that was used by the DSS General Counsel to obtain additional funding from the State Legislature. I mentored law students in the clinic program from UMKC. I also provided immediate legal/litigation advice and support on a case by case basis, such as review of subpoenas and advice regarding client contact with outside counsel.I transferred to the St. Joseph, Missouri office in 2004. This office was a one-attorney office, which meant my assignment, in addition to litigation and immediate legal support before administrative bodies included networking with multiple professionals and community members who worked with and/or provided services for the Children’s Division offices located in the northern 24 Missouri counties. In this position I was able to provide proactive, client focused legal advice and litigation support to Children’s Division on a broad range of legal issues. I litigated all phases of child welfare cases from initial referral for services up to and through termination of parental rights; I developed strategies and procedures for individual CD offices to ensure compliance with State and Federal law in the area of child welfare; I provided advice and response to privacy/confidentiality inquiries and concerns; and I was immediately available for consultation with Children’s Division employees regarding emergency child welfare issues, compliance issues, subpoenas served, records requests, litigation assistance, assistance in interfacing with the attorney for the juvenile office and other attorneys, and additional duties as required. I continued the implementation of my training program to assist social workers in learning to testify, and I developed an additional program designed to educate social workers in case compliance requirements, testimony skills, and courtroom etiquette. At times I would return to the Independence office team to assist with the litigation on more difficult cases pending in both offices. I conducted legal research as needed. In addition I was asked to develop written opinions to be used by the DSS General Counsel in work with the State Legislature regarding issues affecting the overall policies of Children’s Division.
