About John
Biography
If you are looking for a lawyer who keeps you posted every step of the way and returns calls and emails within 24 hours then you've found him. Your matter will be handled by me personally and not passed off to someone with less experience. I pride myself on superior results and the utmost discretion.
I am a St. Louis native and have been practicing law in metropolitan St. Louis since 1975. My primary areas of practice are divorce/family law (including divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, maintenance, division of property Orders of Protection and general litigation (both individual and business litigation). I keep my case load to a manageable level so that I can give each case the attention that it deserves. I assume exclusive responsibility for each matter and I make sure that my clients understand the law and their rights. Client satisfaction is my primary goal. My practice reaches throughout Missouri with most cases being in the counties of St. Louis, Franklin, Jefferson and Lincoln, as well as the City of St. Louis. I have also tried cases from Maine to California. Please give me your serious consideration, as I will give you and your matter the attention they deserve.
The choice and hiring of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertising.
