About Nicholas
Nicholas Steinwart trained first as a finance student and then as a lawyer. He earned a B.S. in Finance from Kansas State University in 2007 and a J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law in 2010. Those credentials frame a practice that combines business-minded analysis with courtroom awareness.
He began his legal work at John Hooge & Associates in 2010. That first position placed him in the trenches of client intake, case preparation and litigation support. Four years later he opened his own office. Since 2014 he has operated Steinwart Law Office, LLC, building a small practice that serves individuals and businesses across state lines.
Steinwart is licensed to practice in both Missouri and Kansas. He joined the American Bankruptcy Institute in 2011 and remains an active member. That association and his two-state admission shape the kinds of matters he handles and the professional networks he draws on when cases require specialist input or ancillary services.
Colleagues describe him as straightforward in court and attentive in client meetings. He prepares pleadings, negotiates with creditors and appears in adversary proceedings when necessary. His background in finance helps when analyzing budgets, asset schedules and business reorganizations. He has experience guiding clients through procedural steps and the practical choices that follow a filing.
The firm operates from a compact office structure. Steinwart Law Office, LLC focuses on managing caseloads where a lawyer’s direct involvement can make a difference to outcomes. Steinwart continues to practice in Missouri and Kansas and handles bankruptcy and related debt matters at his firm.
