Hired Steve for a relatively straight forward case and when I needed a pit bull, I got a poodle. He was always dismissive of facts and very condescending.

I had a great experience working with Stephen and his team with regards to a legal name change that was a bit complicated. They were very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly totally honest and transparent about the entire process. And always available for my many questions. I stumbled upon them by chance (and many other STL law firms either refused help or simply didn’t respond). I would 100% use again and recommend to anyone in the STL area. A big thank you the team and hope this review will convince others!

Super stupendous Steve should be his real name. Steve truly does care. I know it is crazy. Past experiences led me to believe that attorneys' main goals were to profit the most. However, Steve genuinely cares and did his due diligence to not only provide me with the best legal representation in my divorce/custody case, but also kept in mind my financial situation as a newly single mom and worked with me. Steve also returned emails within 24 hours and additionally followed up with phone calls when applicable. I hands down recommend Stephen Bardol!

After 5 excruciating years of fighting for my daughter, Stephen was able to accomplish what no other attorney was able to. We were able to get a granted step parent adoption. He was very straight forward the whole time and was very informative with any questions that we had during the process. We were very satisfied with his services and would definetly recommend him for hire to anyone who needs a great attorney.

I cannot thank Steve Bardol enough for helping our family! Steve is an outstanding attorney and a genuinely good person. He has a big heart! Steve welcomed me into the "Bardol Law Family" and provided me the support and encouragement I needed to help my children through an emotional process.
Steve took over my case when my original attorney needed to make a transition. He was readily "up to speed" with everything because he had familiarized himself with my case well before my original attorney made her transition. He is a very organized and professional attorney!
Steve made it his mission to get to know our children as individuals, and as siblings. He knew their unique strengths and challenges, wants and needs. He knew that our children were at different "emotional places" at this time in their lives due to their individual experiences. Steve worked closely with our Guardian ad Litem to come up with a family arrangement that was in the best interest of our children individually, and as siblings.
Throughout the whole court process, I felt comfortable sharing all of my thoughts and feelings with Steve. I am a highly emotional person ( I cry a lot!). Steve was such a good listener, and he understood that my tears were the "tears of a Mother" who just wanted what was best for her children. Steve was very empathetic and understanding.
I have nothing but highly positive things to say about Steve Bardol and the other wonderful people I worked with at the Bardol Law firm! So thank you, Steve, Katie and Julie for helping our family!
Sincerely,
Ann P.

I hired Stephen after firing my previous attorney, Thomas Rolwing, for incompetency at it's highest level. I was immediately impressed with Stephen for his straight forward approach, knowledge of case law, organization, ability to answer all my questions and a feeling that my divorce case would be handled in a timely manner. Stephen would always return phone calls within 24 hours if not the same day. I couldn't have asked for anything more from Stephen including billing me for actual hours worked on my case. Stephen's legal assistant, Julie, was also very professional and helpful with my case. Always available to take my calls and answer questions I had for Stephen. I honestly feel it would be difficult to find a more qualified lawyer. I interviewed 4 attorneys after releasing my first attorney and although they might have done a reasonable job, none compared to Stephen. I can give a 5 star review as a client with no previous knowledge of Stephen and any future clients wanting a family lawyer will be very impressed.
Thank you both, Stephen and Julie.

Steve did a great job and was very professional. He always gave me honest feedback and advised me numerous times not to go down emotional routes that would just force me to pay him more money and accomplish nothing.
He knows the ins and outs of the process and was more interested in getting me to an agreement than making an extra buck off me by dragging things out. This is absolutely not what I would expect from an attorney in this field and of course is everyone's greatest fear. He was very reasonable in what he did charge me and I have zero regret picking Steve. If you're looking for someone who will give you honest answers (vs. the answer/promise you want to hear), will call you back, answer your emails, not waste your money, and whose assistants are also extremely helpful, Steve is your guy.

I'm a rapper (St.Lunatics)..... My ex-wife and her attorney where (for lack of better word) screwing me over big time for 4yrs !!!!!

Stephen handled my divorce case professionally and quickly. He is an effective communicator, and made sure to walk me through every step of the process to ensure that I was up to speed on every detail of the court case. His prices are more than reasonable and he works around the clock to respond promptly to emails and phone calls. I would absolutely refer him to family and friends for legal advice or counsel.

I have had the opportunity of retaining Mr. Bardol for multiple legal matters and I have been completely impressed by his promptness and complete command of the law and application of the law to my cases. He had a direct approach and truly listened to my concerns and issues, which was critical to the successful outcome of my legal matters. Mr. Bardol is a true professional and I would recommend his services to anyone seeking legal representation in the ares of family law and general litigation.
