Joseph, Hollander & Craft was founded by Stephen Joseph and Ross Hollander in 2001. The brothers-in-law sought to provide the Wichita community superior representation in civil and criminal litigation. Soon after, the family business expanded to Topeka, and Christopher Joseph (Steve’s son and Ross’s nephew) took the helm as leader of the firm’s northern office.

As the firm’s reputation for excellence grew, so did our practice areas and physical footprint.

During the first decade of the firm’s operations, we slowly added family law to our repertoire and opened a Lawrence location. Then, in 2011, Julia Craft brought her distinguished family law practice to our Wichita branch and joined the firm’s leadership team. To reflect the new partnership, the firm previously known as Joseph & Hollander, PA, was renamed Joseph, Hollander & Craft LLC.

With a track record of successfully advising and representing our clients, JHC continued to attract and recruit top-tier attorneys and broaden the reach of our services to additional locations. We opened our Overland Park office in 2016 and our Kansas City office in 2018.

Today, JHC operates out of five offices that span two states. But the core of our origins abides: quality legal representation you can count on. Across Kansas and Missouri, we provide clients from all walks of life with top-rated criminal, civil, and family law advice, advocacy, and defense at the local, state, and federal levels.

Ever mindful of the future, we remain committed to progress and innovation—in our firm specifically and in the law generally. We embrace technology, support flexibility, and promote continuous learning and professional development.

At JHC, we leverage the power of teamwork for the benefit of our clients.

JHC has a team of more than 20 attorneys serving clients across the state of Kansas and into Missouri. Each attorney has individual talents, unique experience, and distinct connections, which they share across practice areas, office locations, and cases. We know that, together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. So we work together to achieve greatness on behalf of our clients.

JHC’s top-notch lawyers are supported by extraordinary staff who are dedicated to making each client’s experience the best it can be. Our legal support professionals and administrative staff facilitate the seamless coordination of multiple offices, allowing the firm to provide legal services across a wide geographic span. Because everyone at JHC knows the clients come first, we all band together to prioritize quality work product and personal service.

The entire firm approaches legal representation as a collaborative process. We don’t just work for our clients, we work with them. We value your input. We want you to feel confident and in control of your case. We find answers, develop strategies, and provide information and advice. But you set your case objectives and you call the shots on the big issues because we recognize the consequences of your case ultimately rest with you. We are your partners—committed to helping you get where you need to go.
