I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Abney when he represented a family member in their divorce, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and support. From the very beginning, Jeff made the entire process as painless as possible by taking the time to thoroughly explain the legal steps involved and what to expect at each stage. His communication was outstanding. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer advice whenever it was needed. His calm demeanor and professionalism brought much-needed clarity and reassurance during a stressful time. I also appreciate his attention to detail and the care he showed in ensuring everything was handled correctly.
He helped us navigate a truly difficult time in my family member's life and helped take some of the burden off us. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable attorney who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Jeff Abney.

If $5,000 can’t knock a 1st degree, Class B Felony Burglary - Home Invasion down to what it should have been, nothing more than petty larceny and trespassing, then I would hate to see what she charges to actually do something/anything. My 19 yr old kid walked into an open garage to grab beer that he could see from the street, that’s it. He didn’t break a lock/door or force entry, he didn’t have a weapon, he didn’t come into contact with the homeowners ever, he didn’t have intent to commit a felony. She didn’t do a gd thing. She was HOURS late to literally every single court date. After she told us that the courts were now doing multiple SIS’s, she didn’t even get him that! She told him after it was all said & done that he could request to have it expunged after 3 years. Smh. He would have done better representing himself. Oh & the fact that she is sleeping with one of her clients, a multiple felon convict, which would be a conflict of interest, she should find a different career path. Like maybe a horticulturist for indoor plants.

There are a lot of attorneys who take your money and do minimal work. Melinda goes above and beyond to stay available when needed, put the attention into your case that it deserves and explore ALL your options with you before you move forward so can plan accordingly. A far cry from your typical attorney!
Take it from someone who has had the unfortunate opprotunity to deal with over imaginative and extra aggressive police, you want someone who will fight for you, not sit on the sidelines and wait until your courtdate to try and get you to take a plea deal without putting in any effort. You get what you pay for and I wish Mindy would have been around a long time ago, would have saved me a lot of stress and money.

Mindy is a veteran war-tested criminal lawyer who I admire and rely on. I would not want to go in battle without her. From murder to simple drug cases, she knows how to work a case. She is hard core, strong, and will fight for you. I go to her for second opinions, for legal advice for myself, my friends and family, and I send major felony clients to her. She is everything you want in a lawyer. Her prices are fair, she is smart as a whip, she knows all prosecutors and judges, she has a lifetime of experience and I trust her completely. She is also witty, beautiful, and a great trial lawyer in general. She doesn't brag about it when she gets murder charges dismissed or clients out of jail, but she does do that... on a regular basis. I am a lawyer. I seek her legal advice. This review is honest and based on working with her, advice she has given me and seeing her at work. I consider her to be one of the very top criminal lawyers in Missouri.

Evy Luckett is amazing! I got my kids back 100% because of her!!! She was not working for PCB at the time it was different firm. However, NOTHING had been done on my case until she came on. Then two months later I had my kids. I do not know about any of the other attorneys at this firm but if they hired Evy they definitely have some good sense.

I had no idea what to expect during my Adoption process, yet Joan assured me that she would be there every step of the way; and she was!
The adoption of my little ones took longer than normal due to the COVID pandemic and court closures and postponements, yet Joan kept me abreast of any and all updates.
She returned my call and answered my emails promptly and didn't mind me calling her on her personal cell, number which she provided.
I am very thankful that I chose her law firm to represent me during my Adoption processes.
Official New Mom!🙂

I've called multiple time and left voicemails. Detailed voicemail on when I'm on my lunch hour. They call and if you are unable to answer, they immediately reject your intake form and application. How does this help the people? It's like they don't want us to work.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
