Top-Notch Estate Planning Services!

Sally Rajnoha (Case & Rajnoha) provided legal services to us in terms of estate planning. She understands the law and keeps things simple. Her common-sense approach guided us through planning an uncomplicated transition of assets to our children, thereby protecting our assets and avoiding probate. ... She is also a delightful, friendly person—someone we enjoyed visiting with during our meetings. If you are looking for a trustworthy attorney to plan a straightforward will and/or trust, we would highly recommend Sally Rajnoha!

Not Disappointed! Extremely Satisfied...

We needed to have a Will and Trust drawn up. After much research of the Internet and reading reviews it came down to three options. Sally was selected because of her reviews and proximity as we didn't want to travel to Clayton or Maryland Heights area. I called Sally and she promptly returned my call.... I knew immediately by her voice and style over the phone that I made the right choice. I made an appointment to see Sally with my wife. Upon meeting Sally, my confidence in her was solidified. She told us we didn't need a Trust because of how our estate was structured...all the time being extremely personable and informative. She wasn't in any hurry to "get rid of us" so to speak. She made me and my wife feel very comfortable. We were informed very clearly as to what we needed to do so she could draw up the documents. After our first meeting, I brought our documents to her office where Jennifer, her very capable and friendly assistant made copies. Sally communicates effectively over the phone, with email and in person. Her charge was reasonable and all follow-up was performed efficiently. We would will no doubts highly recommend Sally Rajnoha and surely use her services again when needed.

No Problems

I hired Sally from West County Family Law for a name change. The whole process was done professional and without problems. I was 100% happy and will again hire Sally in the future for a few other legal matters I still need to handle.

Navigating St Louis traffic court

Sally helped me deal with a traffic ticket that could have had major ramifications ($$$) on my car insurance. Everything was resolved my satisfaction.

I was happy to help. Many people don't realize that by simply paying a traffic ticket, it constitutes a guilty plea resulting in points on your driving record. This, in turn, could result in an increase on your car insurance. High risk insurance may continue for three years and can be quite expensive.
