Family Law

I understand that family law matters can be deeply personal. That is why I will provide you with dedicated, results-driven representation while remaining respectful of your emotional needs.

  • Uncontested divorce: If you and your spouse can agree upon important issues like parenting plans and marital asset division, I can walk you through the process of completing and filing the complicated Missouri divorce forms. By undergoing an uncontested divorce, you can save yourself valuable time and money.
  • Appeals: I will skillfully assist you in appealing an unjust verdict in family court.

Criminal and Traffic Law

As a former Missouri State Public Defender, I have in-depth knowledge of Missouri's criminal court system. Over the years I have built strong working relationships with judges and prosecutors. I work hard to put my experience and the respect I have earned in the legal community to ensure that you receive the best possible outcome.

  • Traffic offenses: I assist clients with a wide range of traffic crimes. I can help you avoid points and keep your record clean. In many cases, clients do not have to appear in court to resolve these matters, especially for speeding tickets issued for driving over the speed limit by less than 15 mph.
  • Felony and misdemeanor defense: If you are facing a DUI, a drug crime or another criminal charge, I will advise you about your options and fight aggressively in defense of your rights. I am experienced and effective at negotiating for the best possible plea bargains and taking cases to trial
  • Appeals and post-conviction motions: If you have been wrongfully convicted of a crime, I can help you file a post-conviction motion to appeal the decision at your original trial.
