The Best Family & Minor Child Attorney in the Springfield and Missouri Ozarks Region

During the past three and one-half years, Andrea has successfully navigated what has evolved to a difficult, and at times , complicated case involving a minor child who is a relative. Although the other party has been extremely difficult, Andrea has been able to negotiate fair and reasonable terms ...on multiple occassions. Based upon our experience over the years we believe that the Missouri Ozarks and Springfield regions are blessed to have one of the best family law attorneys available from anywhere. Andrea is second to none. Our opinions of Andrea: Intelligent - Extremely well versed in family law and minor children. Well spoken - Outstanding communicator so clients understand as well as being very effective in the courtroom. Strategy/Risk Management - Very effective in offering various strategies and the benefits/risks associated with each strategy. - Caring and purpose driven. Our experience and getting to know Andrea has shown that she is a very caring and purpose driven individual. While researching Andrea's accomplishments prior to hiring her, Andrea's background back to college days includes being involved in charitable organizations for the benefit of children. - Listens. Andrea is an excellent listener. We have spent hours and hours discussing strategy, issues, failures, etc. so she can satisfly the clients needs. - Honest. Andrea will give you her opinion whether you like it or not. - Efficient. Andrea and her team are productive. Andrea's fees are not the lowest, but believe you will get just as much or more bang for the buck for output let alone the exceptional experiance and expertise. - Communicator. Does an outstanding job of keeping us informed of every single filing, update, etc. All documents that were sent externally were first reviewed for approval. - Team. We have never had a bad experience with any members of her team. We did not just pick Andrea's name out of a Google search. Several attorneys were interviewed to be co-counsel. Should you be interested, below is why and how we selected Andrea. At our attorney's request, Andrea was sought and retained in 2021 as co-counsel to contribute the knowledge, experience and time in a case that was becoming much more complicated and overwhelming than expected with no end in sight. Andrea was also selected as the person that would carry the torch so that our first attorney could focus on the needs of his other clients. Several attorneys from Jefferson City, MO to Springfield, MO regions were interviewed by the family. Andrea was the only attorney that we requested our attorney to do a second interview. Our attorney called us after the interview, asked how we found her and said without doubt she is the most qualified attorney he knows of to handle the situation. To this day we wholeheartedly believe that Andrea is second to none when it comes to family law, particulary when it comes to the the mental, physical and overall wellbeing of minor children.

Andrea Pate-remarkable!

Andrea Pate handled my divorce with great support, awareness of family issues, and excellent information. She was the main reason I was eventually able to come to an agreement. In addition, she was able to help me with some alimony questions after the divorce was filed. I could not have made it throu...gh this without her. Thank you Andrea!

Divorce Case Family law

I hired Andrea Rosser-Pate as my divorce attorney in Missouri. She did everything for my divorce. She got the GAL appointed got everything completed for the court. Andrea completed my settlement agreement with the other attorney in 7 days. Andrea was always on top of things. She didn't charge me for ...every email like alot of attorneys do. She gave me a very good credit on my bill and also didn't charge me her attorney rate when she could have when I was in the office with her and her Paralegal for 1.5 hours. She always let me know what was going on in my divorce case. If it wasn't for Andrea nothing would have been done in the divorce case. My Ex's attorney was so clueless like he knew nothing about the case. Your the BEST Andrea!!!! The Number 1 family law matter attorney in Greene County Missouri. Hire the best and the results prove it to!!!

Highly recommended- One of a kind!

Andrea has been a blessing to me and my family. Her passion for helping families is evident through her actions and the work she does in this industry, not only for her clients but also with other professionals. Through previous experiences with other family law attorneys, Andrea is a different breed.... She is direct about strategy and expectations and never made us feel like we were just another case. She is dynamic, genuine, and highly respected by others in this industry and has even inspired me personally to use my financial skillsets to help families through Collaborative Law. She took the time to get to know us personally and was able to quickly understand our high-conflict case due to her deep knowledge and experience with these types of cases. She has strong relationships with mental health professionals and other family law attorneys that became necessary in our case, as they often are. She was there for us when we needed her most and has proven invaluable to my family and the family law industry.

Child Custody

Can't say enough good things about Andrea. It is obvious that she is in this to help families. First of all, she helped keep our cost as low as possible (not what I expected when looking for an attorney). But best of all, she really cared about getting the best result for my kids and me. Hopefully I... will not need an attorney again, but if so, it will be Andrea Pate. I definitely recommend her.
