Educational Background

Professional Experience
While Alan's primary focus today is operating Rosenak Family Law, he spends much of his free time giving back to the community. He works as a Guardian Ad Litem for children throughout the state and serves on the Johnson County Bar Juvenile Bench Committee, as well as the Guardian Ad Litem Advisory Committee to the District Court.

In addition to his advisory board work, Alan provides local leadership for foster and adoptive parents. Working with State Legislators in 2006, he initiated a new adoption bill containing grandparent rights that passed both Houses unanimously. Each year, he works with various parties to advocate legislative changes beneficial to neglected or abused children.
Our Mission

For over 37 years, family lawyer Alan Rosenak has utilized negotiation, mediation, and collaborative law skills to help his clients reach productive win-win solutions. As a firm believer in these more compassionate and effective methods, he is a member of both the Heartland Mediators Association, American Academy of Family Mediators, The International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and Board Member/Member of Collaborative Divorce Professionals of Kansas City.
