Dave resolved a problem I was having with the State Board of Accountancy. I called him the first time on the Friday before Christmas (Dec. 23). He was very helpful and easy to work with. He contacted the attorney for the State Board on my behalf and he kept me apprised of the status of my case. I would recommend him to anyone who needs representation before the State Board of Accountancy.

Dave took care of my expungement today. I contacted him 3 years ago when the situation took place. He told me everything I needed to do in order to make sure my expungement was successful. This was 3 years before I hired him! He wasn't even my attorney yet but took the time to make sure I was taken care of. He was always responsive, answer every question I had in detail. He was always on time and just very pleasant to talk to. If you need an attorney for anything Dave is the one for you to call you will not be disappointed. I am extremely satisfied with his service, if I ever need help with anything in the future he will be the one I will be calling.

I contacted several attorneys in Jefferson City and of the first two I spoke with neither were unable to take on cases but they both referred me to Mr. Barrett. From the first time talking with Mr. Barrett I knew that he was going to go the extra mile to help me. I am thankful I was referred to him and for all of his counsel and representation.

When I first began to realize I might need an attorney, never having the need before, I was at a loss as to how to find a good one. So I asked people who work with attorneys and I called those they recommended.
Only one attorney returned my call, Chip Gentry. Chip always returns my calls.
I met with Chip, who appeared to be intelligent, professional, and competent. He listened closely, took notes, and asked questions. He was realistic about the situation I faced, avoided making predictions about how the legal process might turn out, and was conservative in his estimation of potential success.
By the end of our first meeting, I felt listened to, taken seriously, and understood.
I was impressed.
Thus began my journey with Chip Gentry, and in working with him grew to appreciate his obvious legal talent, brilliant strategic and analytical thinking, but most of all his love for justice and our constitutional system of law. He truly loves what he does and is very, very good at it.
I also began to realize and greatly appreciate the fact that his partner Jason Call and their entire staff possess the same level of competence, integrity, and professionalism. They were all involved in my case, working together as a great team.
Chip informed and advised me each step of the way, always thinking long term, but keeping me focused on the present situation and prepared for the next step. He was my guide through the very complex intricacies of the legal process. The breadth and depth of his knowledge of law became evident as he took time to explain court procedure, case law, and statute in ways I could understand and appreciate.
When representing me, he was well prepared, concise, and effective in the presentation of my case. Our hearing was the last on the docket, which allowed me to watch other attorneys in the courtroom ply their trade. Compared to his associates, I was manifestly confident in Chip’s capabilities and proud to have him as my attorney.
Finally, and this is on a more personal note, Chip was expeditious with my limited financial resources, carefully allocating his work in order to maximize his investment in time and effort, without any unnecessary or improper costs. He was very considerate of my finances, and though I’m sure he has wealthier clients, he continually treated me with dignity and respect. I did not feel at any time less valuable and important to him than other clients, and never doubted that he always had my best interest in mind.
I will always be grateful for my experience with Call and Gentry. Knowing they do such excellent work, I have hope for our system of jurisprudence, that wrongs can be made right, the innocent protected, the wrongly accused vindicated, and justice served.
They have my highest respect, appreciation, and recommend them without reservation.

Jason Call saved my nursing license. I've been a travel RN since 2008. In 2013, I had multiple charges: two narcotic charting errors along with failure to take an on-site drug screen. I walked away with a "letter of concern" which means ZERO formal discipline. And Jason accomplished this at the discipline hearing which meant I saved thousands! He was even honest enough to give me a refund on what was left of my retainer. In my opinion, Call & Gentry are the leaders of Professional Liscense litigation and have my highest recommendation in knowledge, success & integrity.

I would like to thank Mr. Call for his dedicated and utmost attention to a case I presented to him and his team. In my profession as a nurse we are expected to uphold very high standards for ourselves and our Co workers. I unfortunately fell victim to false allegations. An investigation was launched and I was facing harsh penalties. The investigation was poorly handled by the Board of Nursing. When I seen the statements and the direction the board was heading with their decision I consulted and hired Mr. Call. Never being in this situation before I did not expect Mr Call to perform a miracle. I was just asking for someone to stand up for me and my best interests. However, Mr. Call and his team kept me informed of the progress in my case. He was very straightforward and made no empty promises. In the end Mr Call and his team brought up many discrepancies in the investigation and dug as deep as they could go. His team brought up many mistakes the investigater made and showed how they were primarily making their desicions on hearsay and not hard facts. The Board overturned their desicion to enforce action and my career has been saved. To top everything off Mr. Call informed me that all the money was not used in my case and I am receiving over 1000 dollars back....I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you for reading, and if you need a straight shooting, no BS lawyer in your corner, Mr Call and his team are the ones you want.

We operate a family farm and we thought we had the land titled where it would go on to the next generation, but it turns out we were misinformed and it would not have been passed down as we wished. I contacted Mr. Scheiderer and he listened to what we were wanting and then told us the best way to go about it. He completed the transactions and we are well satisfied! He even called to follow up and make sure everything was as we wanted it.

My husband and I asked Bryan to help us make out our wills. We also took the opportunity to complete our powers of attorney and advance medical directives. Bryan was very helpful with two people who started out not knowing much about how to get this done. Once he got all our answers, he finished all the documents in a timely manner. I believe Bryan is an honest lawyer.

Nick was amazing to work with! He was thorough and worked very hard to ensure I would receive the best possible settlement available. It was not a big amount to begin with, and I had very significant physical problems stemming from the accident but he was able to work with the insurance company aggressively, and came to settlement everyone was happy with! He's amazing!

I needed an attorney in Missouri, to file a VoIP service provider registration with the Missouri Public Service Commission. So I contacted several attorneys in Missouri. It was apparent that one of them had little-to-no experience with VoIP and quoted a very very high cost for this simple registration work. Another didn't respond to my inquiry for several days. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Mr. Steinmeier responded very quickly to my inquiry, appeared to be very knowledgable of this registration requirement, and quoted a very reasonable cost for filing this registration for me. He also kept me updated with what was going on. I'm extremely happy with Mr. Steinmeier and his work.

As a disabled widow, I have come to rely on Tom Haynes to read over and prepare many documents for me as well as for my aging parents for whom I was caring. His advice is reliable, and his reviews and advice took considerable burden off of me during difficult times. He showed caring with each of my concerns. He took great effort to make sure that he explained and that I understood each situation completely.

TJ handled my case impeccably! He is so personable and was easy to get in touch with directly. He would explain the details of my case and talk with me as long as I wanted. I was terrified at facing a (non-violent) felony after some sketchy business from the sheriffs in a neighboring county - TJ reassured me that we had a strong case and even the worst outcome would likely end up the same taking the plea bargain. In a hearing I got to see TJ shine and had the arresting officer squirming during cross-examination, especially after the officer basically committed perjury in front of all of us. TJ's courtroom presence is a force to be reckoned with - he knows his case law and will defend your rights as well as any lawyer is capable of. He was able to get the evidence in my case suppressed, thereby causing my case to be dismissed. I can't thank him enough for saving me from years of stress and hardship. HIGHLY recommend hiring him for your defense! THANK YOU!!

If you are looking for a bankruptcy attorney Mr. Beaver is the one to hire. He knows his stuff. He's friendly and funny. He updates you as soon as he knows anything about your case. The first time I walked into his office for the initial consultation I was so stressed out about everything. By the time I left his office I was feeling so much better. I would highly recommend him in a heartbeat!
Update: My bankruptcy was discharged last week. Mr. Beaver is an awesome attorney. He kept me updated every step of the way. He was very easy to get in touch with whenever I had a question. He always responded quickly to my emails. He's definitely worth every penny I paid.

BEWARE!! After reading the positive reviews on Todd I thought he might be a safe bet. I SHOULD’VE PAID ATTENTION TO ALL HIS NEGATIVE REVIEWS and saved myself a nightmare experience!
I met with him for 2 hours, explained my desperate - time constraining situation, and begged for him to help me and protect me legally. He said he would, and he gave me his word as we shook hands, and I paid him $5000.00 that he required, THEN I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN for 36 days!!! So I called and left a voice message but STILL DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM HIM!!! On the 41st day of STILL NOT HEARING from Todd, I called again and his secretary talked to him while putting me on hold - BUT HE STILL WOULDN’T TALK TO ME! She said - “he said he will call you RIGHT BACK”. He NEVER CALLED ME! The next day, (day 42) I drove half an hour to his office to get there at 8am. I asked for my $5000.00 dollars back. The secretary called Todd and all he said was “ok”.
After that, on 7/12/24, I received a phone call from Todd and we discussed each other's position and Todd said that he would be willing to help me again. My husband and I told him only if he would agree to bill us hourly instead of $5000 dollars and communicate to the opposing party and to us in a reasonable timely matter. Todd agreed to that.
It wasn’t until Monday morning (7/22) of not getting anywhere with Todd that I sent him a lengthy email stating my concerns and displeasure over my entire experience and he only replied “We will address your topics pursuant to the attached service agreement. Please sign and return it at your earliest convenience.” and finally sent the contract to sign. However, his contract did not state the terms and conditions that we agreed upon and stated that we would pay him another $5000 dollars instead of being billed hourly. So, I had to again email him inquiring why his new contract did not state our agreement. My anxiety, frustration level, trust, and faith at this point through all the nonsense was through the roof.
On Tuesday (7/23) Todd sent a contract correctly stating our terms of agreement and my husband and I signed and returned it stating – “My husband and I were hoping that we could come down and meet with you at your next soonest time because a few things have changed and I need to show you some things and it would be rather difficult to try and explain it in a email if that is ok with you? We will try and accommodate your schedule to come at your next available opportunity.” By the following Monday 29th, after not ever hearing back from Todd to get his next available appointment time, I decided that it was not going to be in my best interest to proceed forward with Todd due to his inability to maintain reasonable lines of communication, inability to perform one single task for me since May 29th, inability to perform any task for me in a timely manner, inability to uphold terms agreed upon and changing them for his benefit after the fact, and causing me almost 3 months of complete wasted time causing escalated anxiety, worry, and stress.
It was completely irresponsible, inconsiderate, unprofessional, and incompetent.
Not only did he not keep his word that we shook on, but he cost me wasted time on my case and added problems that I have filed a complaint with the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel, as there is an issue with Supreme Court Rule #’s - 4-1.3 Diligence, 4-1.4 Communication, and 4-1.5 Fees. And contacted the Better Business Bureau as well as leaving this review on other platforms to hopefully protect others from going through what he put me through. There’s an endless sea of lawyers out there, so I caution you on considering this one - unfortunately his word and handshake as a man has meant nothing! I had very high hopes just to be duped! -Mrs. McGhee

I would highly recommend attorney Scott Hamblin. Mr. Hamblin was very easy to work with, explaining all my options as the case progressed. He took into consideration my priorities, what was most important to me, and skillfully negotiated them into an ideal settlement agreement.

Experiencing my divorce, I couldn’t have been more grateful for Attorney Sara Michael. Her no-nonsense approach and extensive legal knowledge were precisely what I needed. Despite her occasional intimidating demeanor, it’s this fierceness that truly sets her apart. Like a rabid dog in the courtroom, she fought tirelessly for me. If you’re confronting family law challenges, Sara is undeniably the legal powerhouse you want in your corner.
And here’s the added bonus, behind that formidable advocate is an incredibly kind and empathetic professional, making the journey through tough times more manageable.
