Meet the KCA General Counsel

The Kansas Chiropractic Association is pleased to announce that we have formally engaged Jeremy D. Haughton, DC, JD, to serve as Legal Counsel for KCA.

Dr. Haughton brings a rare and valuable combination of experience to this role as both a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic and a licensed attorney in Kansas. He understands chiropractic not only from a legal perspective but also through lived experience in practice ownership, compliance, documentation, and patient care.

Jeremy earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic – Florida, and later his Juris Doctor from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law. Before entering full-time legal practice, he owned and operated chiropractic clinics and has extensive experience handling injury cases, insurance matters, compliance issues, employment law, contracts, and regulatory requirements affecting healthcare providers. He is currently licensed to practice law in Kansas and Missouri and is admitted in both state and federal courts.

As KCA Legal Counsel, Jeremy will provide guidance and support on legal issues impacting the association and its members, including regulatory compliance, practice operations, contracts, employment questions, insurance-related concerns, and other matters relevant to chiropractic practice in Kansas. His role also includes advising KCA leadership and participating in board-level and policy discussions as needed.

Member Benefit: Complimentary Legal Consultation

As part of this engagement, KCA members receive a complimentary 15-minute legal consultation with Dr. Haughton, paid for by the Association. This benefit is intended to help members identify legal issues early, understand their options, and determine appropriate next steps.

To access this benefit, members should first contact the KCA office. This allows us to review the question, ensure it is appropriately directed to legal counsel, and streamline the process so members receive the most effective assistance possible. If the issue requires legal review, we will coordinate the consultation with Jeremy for you.

We are excited to add this level of legal expertise to KCA’s services and believe it will be a valuable resource for our members as they navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and business environment.

If you have questions about this new benefit or how to access it, please get in touch with the KCA office.
