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.

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.

Mrs Karen Pittman-Pace is a hard worker. I don't know when she ever find time to sleep. She returns calls and emails in a timely fashion. Her communication skills are excellent. She took on my case and my sons case in family court with compassion and professionalism. I was completely stressed out and felt helpless until she took over our cases. 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. If you need an attorney that takes on your situation as if they've lived it then Mrs. Karen Pittman-Pace is the attorney for you. She helped my son and I both win our cases. Job well done and money well spent. You get what you pay for.

Karen Pittman Pace came highly recommended to me several years ago. Karen is extremely knowledgeable in the “family law” arena and knows the business like no other. She is tough - a fighter, persistent, brilliant and everything in between. And she always goes above and beyond to win for her clients. I would recommend Ms. Pittman Pace to anyone looking for exceptional legal representation in the St. Louis area.

After having a very negative experience with two attorneys previously, regarding a civil case my husband and I were involved in , I learned of Attorney Natalie Phillips, quite by accident.
Immediately upon meeting with Natalie, I could tell she was very different from the others. I was struck by how personable she is, as well as the way she intently listened to our issues and concerns, without making a snap judgment or jumping to conclusions. She took her time in speaking with us during our initial consultation, and offered reasonable advice and solutions to our immediate pressing issues.
She worked closely with us to find a viable solution to our on-going, nearly four-year nightmare, and she did it quickly, professionally, and was able to complete it all within our very tight budget.
Natalie Phillips ALWAYS returned my calls or emails quickly, and was able to do in 3 weeks, what the other attorneys we worked with were unable to do in nearly four years!!!
Had it not been for Natalie’s willingness to step up to the plate on our behalf, our nagging legal issues would NEVER have ended. My family and I are eternally grateful to her for her assistance.
I would NEVER hesitate to utilize Natalie’s services again, if needed. She is TRULY the best of the best!
If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, helpful, proactive, and actually cares about the clients they represent, look no further. Natalie Phillips is not only a wonderful human being, she is truly a one in a million attorney!

Jennifer Rench supported me not just as my knowlegable and talented divorce lawyer, but as a genuine human with empathy. She was like a big sister that tells you the truth and reality, sternly, but with compassion and understanding. My collaborative, separation and divorce was a rocky one due to events that were completely out of my control. She did an amazing job at rolling with the punches and presented my options with explanations and possible outcomes. This helped me feel prepared throughout the process. She empowered me with the knowledge and would tell me her honest opinion, but the decision was always mine. She never made me feel pressured to go one way, or the other, on any of the hundreds of decisions a divorce requires. She would simply ask what I wanted to achieve, and we would work together to get there. I know that during the hardest moments of my life, having Jennifer Rench in my corner made my journey so much easier. Something I'll never forget. If you are in the St. Louis, MO area I would recommend her a thousand times over. She's up to speed on digital everything!! So you can upload the documents she needs in a few clicks, reference all of your documents throughout the process, and collaborate. I was able to work with her from another state via her portal system and Zoom. I could also make payments and view history. I met Jennifer in person, for the first time at the end of my divorce. An
When I did, it was like greeting family. She was able to create that connection miles away, and successfully do her job like the exceptional professional she is. So many people worry about virtual services, but don't be! Her firm is a well oiled machine and never misses a beat. Everything was always organized, on time, explained, and communicated well. The scheduling process is easy and she's flexible when needed. I hope to never need her services again, lol but I recommend her to everyone I meet who mentions divorce or separation. Thanks for everything Jennifer!

I was struggling with understanding any legal lingo that was prepared by my ex-wife's uncontested attorney. More importantly I was just suppose to "trust" that we would be fair. I had never went thru this process & didn't want to be blindsided by an obligations.
Jennifer took the time to go over the paperwork and answered all the questions that filled my mind. Very happy with her patience and gave me peace of mind!!

Jonathan and his very professional staff created a trusting environment that was so essential to me and to my divorce case. I appreciated their collective responsiveness, and the fact that I always felt important and valued, even when, years later, I came back seeking advice to end my child support when my kids turned 21. Jonathan jumped right back into my case and led me through that process, too. Grateful for his help and support through the years.

Jonathan Marks is an exceptional family law attorney, combining brilliant legal acumen with genuine compassion. He's highly respected in the field and has an accomplished track record of success. Mr. Marks was remarkably quick to respond to our needs, always staying on top of our case. What truly sets him apart, though, is how he balanced his expertise with a deep understanding of the emotional challenges we faced.

I can't say enough great things about Jonathan. I came into the office scared and unsure about the divorce process. Jonathan made me feel at ease and told me that I needed to worry about being a good mom and he would take care of the divorce. He did just that. He also made me feel like a priority. He always had my back and was looking out for my best interest. He treated me with respect and always went above and beyond what was required. He is an outstanding lawyer and person. I would highly recommend Jonathan!

My wife and I worked with Chris Cox to create a comprehensive estate plan. He was highly knowledgeable and took the time to understand our situation, think through various "what if" situations and provide recommendations that were incredibly helpful. The process was very straight forward and he remained super responsive to all our follow up questions. He also took time to make certain we understood "next steps" around how to fund our trust.
We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for estate planning services. Amazing experience!

I think this attorney needs more experience under his belt. Wasted my time in a case. Couldn’t take the time to read, or understand documentation correctly. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone. Took a chance on him, and he bailed after having clear proof from 5 different doctors. He said that he wasn’t experienced enough or has the resources for my case. That I needed to seek a larger law firm with more experienced in malpractice attorney’s. Wow!!

This lawyer handles really big accident cases in St Louis. He is a lawyer, accountant and has his masters in tax so he gets the injury cases for individuals that can never go back to work or individuals own a business and cannot run it due to injury. He specializes in valuations of massive loss. Thank goodness a firm like this exists.

Nalini and her team at MLO Law have been outstanding in handling my H-1 and TN visas with a 100% success rate. Their competence, diligence, and in-depth knowledge of immigration law are remarkable. Nalini clearly lays out all available options, carefully explaining the pros and cons, which greatly helped me make informed decisions as a client. Her team’s attention to detail and responsiveness throughout the process made a complex situation feel manageable. I strongly recommend MLO Law for anyone seeking reliable and expert legal assistance

I have always been a civic minded, very hard working and law abiding citizen, until my family ran into some financial issues because of the pandemic and inflation. We were sued by the First National Bank of Omaha because of late payments on a credit card, with little recourse but to find an attorney to help us. Mind you, this was almost ALL medical debt that had to be put on a credit card. Kris, and all his staff, were so kind, personable and helpful. These people believe in what they are doing and finding people a good settlement at a difficult and low period of life. Many kudos!!

I had the pleasure of working with Marc on a particularly tricky real estate situation, and I am thrilled to share my positive experience. Marc's negotiation skills were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the deal, and he consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of commercial real estate. His strategic approach and ability to anticipate potential challenges allowed us to achieve a favorable outcome that exceeded our expectations.
Throughout the process, Marc was responsive and attentive, ensuring that all our concerns were addressed in a timely manner. His professionalism and dedication to our case made us feel supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Marc for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and skilled commercial lawyer who can effectively advocate for their interests.

I can honestly say I was completely satisfied with the work Mr. Bretz did for me. He took an interest in the case, kept me up to date with what was going on, and was always a straight shooter. Most impressively, when one particular "requirement" came up for the dispensation of the case towards a certain outcome, that I was NOT particularly thrilled about, Mr. Bretz got that requirement tossed out. So that all I had to do was pay my required fine. And I was even able to do that in two payments, due to my challenging financial situation. So, the outcome was totally favorable, and I would absolutely recommend Bretz Legal if you find yourself in any kind of driving situation that may look bad at first. Mr. Bretz did right by me, for sure...

Patrick Bader and Jacob Murov are awesome guys. Patrick has been honest with me from start to finish. They will make sure you get the best medical treatment and most importantly they communicate with you about your case and make sure you’re comfortable. No hidden agendas like most and they are very, very honest. When no other attorney wanted to take my case Patrick & Jacob ensured me that they will do their best and fought for me and got me the best results. I was able to get all of my attorney and medical fees paid in full and also was compensated a hefty amount for pain and suffering I couldn’t ask for better attorneys. I’m extremely satisfied with the entire team!!!! Great job guys!!! If i could do a commercial for them i would!!!!

I went to Patrick Bader after a car accident with my only hope being to have the other driver's insurance pay for the medical expenses I had from the accident as well as the legal expenses. Patrick worked hard to ensure that not only were my medical and legal expenses covered, but that I received the medical care I needed and was also compensated for my pain and suffering. He even helped me to receive a settlement from my own insurance regarding my under-insured benefits, which he did not have to do. He was polite, up-front, and persistent in making sure I received a fair compensation. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Jillian Wood was a great attorney. My case had been in court for three years with no end in sight for a simple parenting plan modification that should have been resolved fairly easily. Jillian stepped in and had it handled professionally and accurately. Everything came out fair in the end and in order to have that done, you need good representation. Before Jillian, I had two attorneys and never knew what good representation was; they took all my money and did nothing for me. Jillian is affordable, easy to work with, and very understanding; she is knowledgeable about family law and knows how to get a case resolved. Jillian knew what she was doing in the courtroom when it didn’t seem like the other attorneys did. Highly recommend!

Jennifer was our attorney for a custody case. She did an excellent job. She is thorough, hard working, and very knowledgable in the area of family law. She has parenting experience of her own and she does a wonderful job of figuring out what is best for the children, not the parents. IMHO, that is the most important thing a family attorney can do. I have a lot of respect for Jennifer and I would highly recommend her.

This woman is totally corrupt and only interested in an easy paycheck. As evidenced by her actions, she has absolutely zero concern for what is right or fair in any capacity. She will represent your interests only as far as it does not interrupt her own.
She will suppress anything that might make her actually have to work and do her job with any degree of integrity. Nor is she interested in any evidence or hard facts that really matter unless it serves her own agenda. She has absolutely zero integrity and couldn't be a more corrupt and unfit attorney if she tried. Do not hire her if you want to be rightly represented.

Jennifer is an amazing attorney who always has the child and clients best interest at heart. She fought for and achieved what was the best outcome for my child with schooling and custody. She was always available by email or phone when I had concerns and/or questions, and she always kept me in the loop as to what was going on with the case. She was also very informative in explaining the common practices involved legally with every aspect of my case. I would highly recommend her for any type of case where children are involved.

I engaged Tonya after having to transfer counsel from a collaborative practice attorney when the respondent chose a litigator. Things started out well, but concern increased as my assigned attorney, Ms. Khofeld, had trouble grasping the core financial issue and did not seem comfortable stating a strong position to opposing counsel. Repeated settlement proposals from Page Law progressively eroded my position and gave ground to opposing counsel and when Tonya became personally involved I did not see the direction turn around. We were going to give yet more ground in hopes that we could settle. I lost confidence in counsel and transferred again. I would not be critical of Page Law but for the behavior of my third attorney, who aggressively represented our case, halted further appeasement and presented a settlement proposal with term far more favorable to my position, effectively pulling back 5-6 individual offers made in prior settlement proposals. Of course opposing counsel accused us of reneging, but since they chose not to sign anything, we were under no commitment. When respondent was deposed opposing attorney knew that her case was very tenuous and we settled on grounds quite favorable to my position. That never would have happened had I continued with Page Law. To be fair to Page Law they certainly know the mechanics of the process, but I have strong reservations regarding their advocacy and ability to push a position. My situation was very simple with limited property and no children. Maybe it was too simple and not within their practice scope. I really can think of no other reason why they would take so long, and accumulate such a billable hour count, to achieve nothing whereas the third counsel got a signed settlement in one fourth the time and one fourth the billable hours. Admittedly he had the benefit of the documentation Page Law accrued, but in turn Page Law had the benefit of documentation the collaborative process counsel accrued. We had to throw away Page Law's proposals and state a new one. We did not back down from the core tenets and settled.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You
A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.
Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.
When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:
- Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
- Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
- Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
- Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
- Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
- Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
- Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.
What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?
A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
- Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
- Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
- Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
- Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
- Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.
How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?
Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Most child support lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. The total cost will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
- Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
- Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.

Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer
Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child support cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What documents should I prepare?
Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
- Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
- Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
- Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
- Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
