July 3rd 2019 we completed adoption ! I’m satisfied!

Steve Bardol and his team did a great job handling my case. I had an unusual case and he was able to answer every question and concern I had going through this. Even being states away while he took care of this. He made me feel like my case wasn't just another case. He responded to every phone call and email with great urgency. Gave me breakdowns of how my money was being spent on my case. Didn't waste any of my time and was really compassionate about my situation. I can not thank him enough for all he has done for me. My son is my everything. I highly recommend him and his lawfirm. I called a lot of lawyers before I had made my final decision on who I wanted to protect my family. I am beyond blessed to have come across him and his team. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Going through a divorce is awful, and I'm so glad I chose Bardol Law to help me through it. I felt supported and welcomed by everyone in the office. Steve set realistic expectations and always knew what was happening and how to answer my questions. Great job Steve, I will highly recommend you to anyone needing a divorce attorney!

I cannot say enough good things about Steve. He handled my divorce and a custody issue with absolute ease. The fact that my divorce was far from an easy case made this all the better. He was there to answer every question I had and was always upfront on what I should expect from the process. He doesn't waste your time either. Every conversation is done quickly but is never rushed. He takes the time to listen and is able to provide answers immediately. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone honest, thorough, and respectful to your needs.

Stephen Bardot is a great lawyer, he kept his word and is very affordable. I would definitely recommend him as one of the best attorneys in St. Louis. He handled my child custody and support case in St Louis City.

If dealing with parental alienation, read on- Steve, as a good attorney, knows how a case will likely turn out. He can most likely call it from the get go, because he is, indeed, sharp. Steve, as a bad attorney, will give you this information after a year in court with no changes and several thousand dollars later along with MUCH emotional toll. He returned some of my fees as a reward for giving up the fight, but in the end, I paid for nothing. My son was a tender 14 when 'dad' remarried and determined to erase my existence in my son's life with a fake narrative, only to get for himself legal permission to eliminate child support. By the way, dad is a multi-millionaire. Steve revealed to me that he wouldn't have many custody battles if it weren't for men remarrying. Dad never tried for custody when there were four minor children! He had vacation 50% of the time. My case was a glaringly obvious case of parental alienation and manipulation of the mind of my son through bribery. Dad did his homework and discovered that odds are judges don't stand behind their 50/50 orders when a child reaches adolescence. He was right. Seems that every one knew this but me. I expected a judge to enforce her orders. So, even though my son was getting in trouble. missing school, getting involved in drugs, vandalizing property, sneaking out at night, all the while dad was violating our child custody agreement on every front, physically and legally. Obviously, he needed his mother! It became increasingly clear to me that every one on my case, including the GAL, ESPECIALLY the GAL, Mark Keisewetter, was biding their time to let my son 'age out'. Mark even gave my son the line, "Who is going to make you do anything you don't want to do?" undermining my parental role. Bottom line, if your case is one of parental alienation, Steve will site it, but won't fight it. But to his defense, good luck finding one who will, because the system won't bother themselves. The pat comfort line is, "He will probably show up on your doorstep one day." In the meantime, you miss the memories, the life lessons you had to teach them and mostly, your child. Yes. An adolescent is still a growing child. Having them choose between parents is brutality and abuse allowed by a system that are working for PROFIT. Plain and simple.

I hired Steve to help with my custody and child support case to which I was getting royaly screwed over by my ex. Steve took control of the case and was on time and professional with each court date (unlike my ex wife's attorney who was supposedly very expensive and caused the court case do drag just to rack up the bill). The end result turned out better than I expected with the situation that I was facing though. I now have partial custody again with my daughters and we communicate regularly, (My ex would not let me see or talk to them at all). The child support was also lowered to a reasonable amount compared to before and backdated to the date when we filed. Steve's hourly rate was pretty reasonable and he worked out a payment plan for the amount that went over the retainer. Steve is very knowledgeable of the court system and will give you a good idea early on of the outcome that you can expect. If I ever have another custody issue I would use Steve again.

The process with my divorce went fairly quickly. Steve was great with communication and explaining everything to me. He also made sure he answered any questions I had during the process promptly and thoroughly. He would always proceed with things the way I was comfortable with. I would highly recommend him.

Stephen and his team are exceptional at what they do. There was never a moment where I doubted whether or not I made the right decision.
