Client suffered brain injuries in motorcycle accident within months of inheriting money; we created a Special Needs Trust so he could benefit from his inheritance but still qualify for government assistance. Another client had five amendments to her Revocable Trust - too many, and too confusing! We combined all her relevant wishes into one Restatement of her Revocable Trust so that her heirs could easily administer her estate.

We have a caring staff, with people who listen carefully, have much experience, and who deliver prompt results.

Clients should look for a lawyer with experience who are also able to listen, and who have a staff to support them to deliver on their promises.

Local knowledge is important with probate and guardianships, and we have 30+ years combined experience in Eastern Missouri courts. St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, Franklin County and Washington County. With estate planning, staying up to date with Missouri State law is critical.

We will provide a general plan of how we can help and usually quote a flat fee. We will email an Attorney Client Agreement, Intake forms, FAQ sheets, and other needed documents as soon as agreed in order to expedite handling of the client's needs

We need a general idea of the scope of the matter, who the people involved are, and contact information for everyone involved.

Having been a lawyer for 30 years, I not only am up to date on relevant law, but I am able to listen carefully, read between the lines, and offer solutions you might not otherwise have considered, simply because I have seen so very many family situations and challenges.

i love serving my clients and I love practicing law. Explaining legal options to clients in easy to understand, everyday language so that the client feels empowered to make important legal decisions is a joy for me.
