About Charles
Biography
Charles Moore has practiced law all over the United States. He began his career in Southern California in 2005. A few years later, he moved across the country to practice law in the Princeton, New Jersey area. He has always practiced primarily in the estate planning / probate and elder law field, along with having significant experience in representing fiduciaries and beneficiaries in estate and trust litigation matters. This has been by design since he is passionate about these practice areas.
In 2009, Charles took a great opportunity to move back home to St. Louis, Missouri and open his own practice, Legacy Law Center.
The firm has two locations. The main office is in St. Charles, Missouri. The second office is about 15 minutes west in the Winghaven neighborhood of O'Fallon, Missouri.
Legacy Law Center is a full service estate planning, probate and elder law practice.
Charles also owns a second firm called the Traffic Ticket Center, which narrowly focuses on traffic / DWI / license suspenion and minor criminal defense and was opened in 2014.
He is married and lives in St. Charles County. He and his wife are avid travelers and Charles has been to a dozen countries, with hopes of eventually visiting at least 75. He is an avid photographer and his office is covered with his work.

Best attorney ever - Mr. Moore is highly knowledgeable, supportive, efficient & enthusiastic. Felt like he had my back!

Will and Living Trust - Positive experience with Legacy
I contacted Legacy Law to setup my estate plan. It would be fair to say "I didn't know what I didn't know", so I didn't go in with a lot of prepared questions. Chuck Moore guided me through all sections of the estate plan. What stands out was his sense of when something could become vague during ...
