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.

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!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Attorney Jason Call's exceptional legal assistance. Facing disciplinary action with the Board of Medicine of Missouri due to substance use disorder was a daunting experience, but Jason's expertise and support were invaluable. His thorough understanding of the legal process and his unwavering dedication to my case helped me navigate through the complexities with confidence.Jason's professionalism and commitment were evident from our first consultation to the resolution of the matter. He provided clear guidance, communicated effectively at every stage, and tirelessly advocated on my behalf. Thanks to his strategic approach and extensive knowledge of healthcare law, we were able to achieve a favorable outcome, avoiding any detrimental consequences to my career.I highly recommend Attorney Jason Call to anyone in need of legal representation, especially in matters concerning healthcare and professional licensing. His compassionate demeanor, combined with his formidable legal skills, make him an invaluable ally during challenging times. Thank you, Jason, for your outstanding service and for helping me move forward with peace of mind.

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.

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.

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.

Scott Hamblin is simply put - the best! Scott deserves 10 Stars! He has all the qualities a person could ask for with legal representation and more. I even had a lawyer from another county tell me, Mr. Hamblin is an excellent lawyer. That remark alone told me how respected he is, by his peers. He's highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, respectful and courteous, does his due diligence to understand and know his case, has excellent communication skills with his staff and client. His performance in the court room arena was exciting to watch. Dynamic! I knew when I walked into his office, it was different. Some offices are "'eh, another person". Not the case with Mr. Hamblin. I never felt left out of the case, going back to communication. His legal staff, is also to be commended for their excellence and knowledge with assistance throughout the case. All my questions were important to the whole "team", not brushed off. I can't say enough about Mr. Hamblin, other than if you need a most excellent lawyer, choose him.

I would also recommend anyone else except this place, the secretary is grest, but, Sarah was my first divorce council and led me down a wrong path which ended up costing me hundreds of thousands over the life of my kids. My advice is Don't just agree and go with something if your not comfortable with it despite what your council says, this is your life not theirs. These are your kids not theirs and as they're gonna tell you they do this everyday with a different person, they don't care about you or your kids, they want the money. I now see my kids less than my wife and do not get to claim them for taxes anytime because of this fact and Sarah Michael advised me to just go with it.

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.

We hired this attorney to represent my son. Mr. Dodson was not available to update my family, nor my incarcerated son. He ignored my emails spoke very sparsely , maybe a few times to me and other son, that was putting up an enormous amount of money. We had no idea what he spent it on. My incarcerated son has just been literally in limbo and has had a mental breakdown.

We hired this attorney to represent my son. Mr. Dodson was not available to update my family, nor my incarcerated son. He ignored my emails spoke very sparsely , maybe 2 times to me and other son, that was putting up an enormous amount of money. We had no idea what he spent it on. My incarcerated son has just been literally in limbo and has had a mental breakdown. After a yr we asked him to pls send some of my son's money back and we would hv to get someone else. He sent 2/3 of the money back but all the pain and mental agony we went through was and is unrelenting. No, I do not recommend this attorney...we do not hv money to help my son and pray for God's mercy

We have dealt with Mr. Landwehr on two separate legal issues and both times he was prompt, courteous, professional, and straightforward. His wisdom and knowledge with our issues were evident in the conversations we had with him. He did not hesitate to tell us when we needed his services and when, if possible, we needed to pursue the issue without his involvement. We were extremely impressed that he gave his advice on how to keep us out of court and assured us, he would be able to help us in the event that we went to court. His firm will be the first we call in the future if we need legal advice and we will definitely be recommending Mr. Landwehr and his associates to friends and family.

While CVDL did not actually work with me on my case due to a conflict of interest, my experience with the receptionist and Shelly was exceptional. Shelly not only got back to me when she said she would and with referrals, she was incredibly kind, patient, and sympathetic to my situation - all of which is way more than I've received from any other law firm that I've contacted or that has worked with me in my particular situation. Thank you!!!

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.

  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
