Melissa Leavy assisted me with updating the deed to my home. My mom and I owned our house, and she passed years ago. I had no idea the information on the deed was not updated until I went for a new mortgage. Melissa made it simple, easy, and quick to get the changes made. Thank you, Melissa and staff of Elder Care Law Practice.

After our father died, my sister and I had to help our mom with her short-term and long-term planning. This was all new terrain for us. We literally did not know what we should do or where to start. The Elder Care Law Practice were incredibly helpful. Melissa is a conscientious and caring lawyer who explains things thoroughly and clearly. We ended up having lots of documents created, and the process was relatively simple with no surprises. I feel lucky that The Elder Care Law Practice was my first call.

I was at a total loss as to what to do about my parents estate when my father passed away and my mother was diagnosed with dementia.. Melissa was ( and is ) a savior for myself and my family... She is brilliant, astute on the law, thorough, and she genuinely loves her work... Hire her, you will be glad you did, I assure you......

Kevin was very efficient. He initially needed info from me carefully instructed me a small list of things I needed to do and from then on it was all handled with timely calls to update me on my personal injury case. Won the case in the time frame promised and received my settlement immediately after.

I am VERY pleased with Greg Klote law firm. He is a very honest and down to earth attorney. He treated me with respect and always kept in contact with me and returned my calls promptly. My situation ended better than I expected! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. I was never put on the back burner and he made me feel very comfortable. Him and his staff are very respectful and pleasant.

They have been great at updating me on my case and moving the process along. Great job!

I am extremely grateful I was referred to Laura to represent me during my divorce. She is very knowledgable and confident in her field. Laura fought hard for my rights as a father and to remain present in my child’s life, which was not an easy task. Laura’s experience was evident from the start, she never wavered and, more importantly, was able to be a calming presence throughout all the ups and downs during my divorce process. Laura was always accessible and responsive anytime I needed her. She has assembled an outstanding team who shared her dedication and attention to my details. We dealt with several unreasonable requests and Laura confidently made them fade away until reaching the conclusion of just being fair with my parenting and financial rights. I feel extremely lucky that she was introduced to me and thankful she was my advocate during this grueling period in my life. In a climate such divorce/family law, I was concerned I would be spending unnecessary time and money, but I never had an ounce of those feelings working with Laura. Working with her will make that point very clear, just as I knew she was invested in my best interests. Laura’s involvement did not end with my Judgment as she has continued to support my needs for post-divorce matters. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura and the Stobie Law Firm to family, friends or strangers in need of an excellent family attorney who will fight for everything that is sacred to them.

Laura worked on my divorce case and she did an amazing job! I highly recommend Laura and her staff to anyone who is going through a "nasty" divorce. My ex wanted to pay minimal support and zero maintenance, but due to Laura's hard work and perseverance, I had a very, very favorable outcome!

Laura was one of my attorneys in my Divorce Case, Her knowledge, practicality, and logic used during the procedure was amazing. during a divorce case things can get very emotional. Especially if there are children involved. Because of that, I feel like most people even despite their best efforts let emotions control the decisions or actions during the case. Laura along with my other attorneys were able to keep me on track, keep me grounded in my thought process and I truly feel like she was fighting for what I wanted and what was important for me and my child as well. I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone going through this situation. I would not be where I am today with out her.

Dennis was not my original choice to contact on Avvo, but he is the only one who responded to my question. He offered sound and thoughtful advice, and was very professional and direct.

Dennis did a great job in getting my patent off the ground and fully approved. He knew absolutely nothing about my product when we started, but it didn't take him long to have a complete understanding and to be able to prepare my case for the examiners. I'm not funded like the Boeings and Monsantos of the world, and it was quite unusual to find that Dennis caters so well to small businesses.
Knowing what I do now, I think it is remarkable that I was able to go through the entire patent process so affordably. If I went to the large firms, hourly rates just would not have been feasible. Not only does Dennis offer a flat rate fee structure, he even offers no-cost sessions occasionally for clients so you can bounce ideas off him. I plan to take advantage of this service soon.
While I'm sure he can handle big firms quite well, my review has to do with how he handled my case. Just couldn't be happier.

Before working with Dennis, we worked with a couple of other attorneys to process our patent without much success. What made the difference was the time Dennis took to understand, and immerse himself in our business so he could articulate our invention in a format that could easily be understood by our examiner.

I have used Kari Peterson twice now for work-comp related issues. She is thorough, compassionate, and reliable as well as taking a personal interest in your case and personal situation. When you have questions or concerns she is dependable on getting back to you ASAP. Kari even took the time out of her family vacation to reply back to me!
Kari ensures that you are treated correctly and fairly throughout your litigation. I have heard many horror stories from others regarding their work-comp cases in my profession. I can tell you that YOU WANT and YOU NEED Kari Peterson representing you, period!

Nathan was beyond proficient throughout the entire DUI process. He was readily available when i had questions or concerns, he kept me up to date with reminders and letters, and he worked with me on payments. Other than the inconvenience of having to drive to IL for few court dates it was a pretty stress free process. Hopefully I never have to use him again but if I ever need representation, I will absolutely go back to Nathan.

Because of my mental health, I sometimes worry about if I'm bothering him or asking too many questions, but he is professional, empathetic and knowledgeable. With him, I know that there's someone who cares about his clients and delivers the right advice! He and Drew Barker are reliable and people I trust 100%.

I have worked with Beth Boggs and her law firm for over 15 years, both as co-counsel and supervising/referring attorney. In my prior capacity as Senior Staff Counsel for a major insurance company, I had referred countless cases to Beth for handling. Beth has delivered outstanding results time and time again. As co-counsel, I have had the pleasure of working directly with Beth on various personal injury and high damage cases to achieve great results for our mutual clients. Beth's grasp of the law and issues, her advanced litigation and trial skills, and her experience in personal injury and insurance law, is unrivaled. Coupled with these exceptional attributes, Beth's tireless work ethic, accessibility, and dedication to her clients are all part of her recipe for success. I highly recommend Beth Boggs.

Dan's law firm helped me with an embarrassing charge for which the prosecuting attorney wanted ten years in prison and at least ten more years of registration, a felony B. At the initial consultation Dan very professionally and courteously outlined a plan how to defend the case. He and his partner Joe Flees fought a long fight to bring it down to an amended charge of a felony D (E on current statutes) with no registration and I got probation.
Highly recommended law firm.

Peter handled a case for me. I got sued by a company that buys credit card debts. I didn't think there was much I could do about it. I wasn't even going to go to court. Then I found Peter online. He sat down with me and explained the whole thing to me. He did his thing, and the other side dropped the case. He didn't cost too much either.

I hired Michael after being involved in a car accident where I suffered injuries. I actually was referred to him by another attorney who I have done work with. Mike was diligent in gathering the necessary and relative information from me so that he could pursue my case in a timely manner on my behalf - with little interruption to my daily life. I am a licensed attorney outside of Missouri, but do not practice in this area of law, so I was aware of the importance of hiring someone locally to assist me with my case. I also knew that this would be time consuming and complicated, so hiring competent counsel would be imperative. Mike kept me updated about my case when necessary, and I didn't have to take time out of my life to negotiate with insurance companies and other attorneys. Mike was able to resolve my case favorably, and I would recommend him to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

Mark Temkin has been my attorney for 30 years, and has wisely guided me in protecting my family’s interests, my assets and all the legal vicissitudes of modern life. I remember him meeting me on a Sunday afternoon, and conferencing at night when situations demanded immediate responses; he willingly answered the call. Mark has exceptional expertise across a number of fields - estate planning (he was instrumental in writing the new Missouri statute on Qualified Spousal Trusts), asset protection, real estate, and general corporate law. I have always appreciated his ability to anticipate the consequences of various scenarios and to plan accordingly. Other lawyers have remarked that his work is exemplary, and some have asked permission to call him "just to pick his brain.” It’s important that you trust your lawyer, and I trust Mark with my life and the lives of my loved ones. He is of the highest integrity, ethical standing, and honesty. Mark Temkin is completely dedicated to the benefit of his clients, and having him on your side makes a big difference.

Caleb Petersen is hands down one of the best you will find in St. Louis. I hired Caleb to handle a complex family law matter and could not have been more satisfied with the level of professional work that he delivered. As things progressed in my case, Caleb was always on top of the relevant information regarding my case. He was extremely knowledgeable and was always very upfront and realistic when we discussed the aspects of my case. The biggest selling point for me was that he was always quick to respond to my questions which was a very big issue that I had with my previous attorney in my initial divorce. I have and will continue to recommend Caleb to those needing an attorney.

After researching many St. Louis-area lawyers on sites like this one, I confidently selected Carter Collins Law. Throughout the entire process Carter, answering my every question, always listened. She worked with me to determine a strong plan and consistently kept me abreast of updates. Her experience, legal knowledge, and determination put my mind at ease. If you’re seeking strong legal counsel in the St. Louis area, look no further.

No one ever thinks they will be in this situation of needing a lawyer because your son was selling drugs. Carter was not the original lawyer my son hired. That lawyer was dishonest and we felt like we were sinking in quicksand. We didn't know who we could trust or where to turn. Our son was in one of the county jails when he heard about Carter from another inmate. She made no promises but gave us confidence that she was on our side and explained every step of the way. For the first time in months we felt like we weren't sinking in that quicksand. We weren't asking for miracles but a fair defense for our son. She was by his side during the entire long process and updated us whenever anything changed. I don't know what would of happened to my son and us if our paths had not crossed with Carter. She follows through and delivers.

I hired attorney Karen Pittman-Pace for an entire year. It was a very complicated civil case. It was connected to another criminal case in another MO county. The Father was being denied access to his Baby. At first, it seemed impossible to get anything at court. But Pittman-Pace managed to win the case step by step, until Father and Baby were finally back together and happy. The whole family is now healing. Justice has been rightfully served in both civil and criminal courts. In addition, the Judge granted an Order of Protection and a Temporary Restraining Order in my favor, thanks to the work of Pittman-Pace.
I highly recommend Karen Pittman-Pace, an experienced and innovative attorney that will fight for your legal and human rights even if you are about to give up. She represents justice and hope.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Just knowing that she was trustworthy helped with my anxiety and panic attacks during trial. Most importantly she was respectful. As the victim, that meant a lot to me.

I recently had a need for legal representation in the City of St. Louis. Upon searching for an attorney, I remembered the sharp, well-spoken neighbor John Meehan's profession was an attorney at Meehan Law just west of Lafayette Square. John was by far the most impressive lawyer that has represented me. His friendly (yet professional demeanor), quick thinking skills, and legal relationships in the city of St. Louis provided me the representation I needed to address my legal situation in a timely fashion. John was super helpful in the following ways:
1. John's response time to my initial call was less than an hour. John and the Meehan Law Firm pride themselves on responding to clients in need in a timely, professional manner.
2. John is well a well-respected attorney in the justice system and is able to resolve legal issues using his advanced, specialized legal knowledge that both defense and prosecution stakeholders must respect and acknowledge. John was very helpful in addressing my legal issue by simply speaking directly to the city using diplomatic discussion and legal knowledge.
3. The most common phrase I heard from John during the process of addressing my legal situation is, "I just want to help people." and he really means it. John is from the area, understands the formal and informal challenges of the citizens needing defense services in the area, and can therefore empathize on the client level when needing the legal representation. In other words, “He’s lived and walked the streets of St. Louis, understands the law, and understandings the Police and Government first hand”.
4. John was able to rapidly absorb my situation, present several options to my disposal, and offer services based off of need, not just “to get paid”. In my scenario, it turned out the initial cost for my legal representation was quoted higher that what I was actually billed. John is not going to fleece you for charges for services not needed.
John is a rising star in the legal profession and I highly recommend his services in the event you are in need of a defense attorney.

Brian helped me launch both a nonprofit organization (where he consulted on several business issues) and a for-profit holding company (where he both consulted on strategy and did all the legal work to form the entity). He has also helped to evaluate numerous contracts and other business documents.
He's intelligent, thorough, insightful and creative. I've always been a fan of attornies who will help you think through an issue from every angle before deciding how to proceed, and Brian is a great partner in that regard.

We hired Chuck for a situation that made us very uncomfortable. Not only did he help me work through the situation but he made the process as seemless as possible. He has been upfront about the challenges and doesn't sugar coat or exagerate. I will definately hire him in the future for our legal needs.

I give my strongest recommendation to Chuck, and his firm Bruntrager and Billings. I have worked with Chuck for 20+ years and have always found him to be top-notch in all of our dealings. He is extremely personable and has helped guide our family through the complexities of the legal system on several occasions. Before I met Chuck, I had a distrust of all lawyers, but having worked closely with him I can assure anyone that he is a lawyer that you can trust with any legal issue you may have. I have recommended him to several of my friends and I know that every one of them is 100% satisfied with his advocacy, knowledge of the law, and eventual outcome.
