divorce/ family lawyer

I'm the mother of a 3 1/2 year old little boy who went through a divorce this last year. Glen St.Louis was my attorney and I was very grateful and impressed at how he and his staff guided and represented me through the process step by step from beginning to end. I was very pleased with his service...s, his knowledge of the law, and his insight into human behavior. He coached me into how not to get caught in traps set by both of my former husband's attorneys. He spent almost two hours explaining every aspect of parenting plans and child support before going into court so I could understand why it was I was requesting something and so I could make well informed choices about mine, and my son's future. He is every strategic and tactical, and while planning a strategy is very good at thinking off the cuff to re-adjust the strategy when he has too.. The first time I went to court with Mr. St.Louis for temporary orders of support, parenting plan, spousal maintenance, attorney fees and other matters, Mr. St.Louis was very talented at showing my situation and maximizing my position to the Court. He shut the other attorney down with politeness, courtesy, knowledge of the law and the facts of my case. He was firm in his arguments and did not back down or flinch by the silly and false accusations my husband's attorney was making to try to get custody. He actually made the other attorney look a little silly in her approach. Mr. St.Louis did exceptionally well and my now former husband then fired his first attorney. As the case progressed with my (ex) husband's second attorney, Mr. St.Louis was steady, adept and creative with how to handle them too - a law firm known for representing just men.. He did not allow things to get out of hand or inflamed the situation. He knows what to argue about and what to not fight about. He likes to say "never miss an opportunity to be quiet." Mr. St.Louis was very knowledgable about selecting a mediator for our case. When the case was over, Mr. St.Louis spent 90 minutes with me going over every document and how to obey and understand it so I would not have any future problem. I am very grateful for that extra effort. He also gave me discounts on his legal bill. Several months later after my case ended, when I had some questions. Mr. St.Louis sat down with me again and did not even charge me!! His tips on parenting and how to deal with my husband were extremely helpful. He obtained for me $1,000 in monthly spousal maintenance from a nearly a 9 year marriage and $57% of the pension and other property values, as well as very good child support. While I hope I never have to hire another divorce lawyer, if I have to, I will immediately try to hire Mr. St.Louis and his staff for their services. . He is intelligent, hard-working, thoughtful, courteous and confident. His staff was well organized and thoughtful. While I don't know a lot of other attorneys, I could see how other attorneys treated and spoke to him at court and the respect they had for him. I have no hesitation in recommending his services. I am a very satisfied client and mother.

Great Lawyer

Glen St.Louis has been my attorney since June 2013 in a child custody modification action. He was referred to me by another attorney. We just completed the case. I am very impressed with his skills and how he looked out for my interests, explained everything clearly, and didn’t waste time or money.... He was thoughtful, realistic and transparent with me and followed through on everything he said he could do. He is very highly qualified and obviously put a lot of thought into my case. He advised me very well. And while he made a very good impression in Court, his skills go outside the courtroom to develop a good human and evidentiary strategy and reach out into the community to find the experts and witnesses needed to put together a solid case for his client. I would hire him again if I needed to. His fees were very reasonable.

Mr. St. Louis was professional and hard working.

Mr. St. Louis represented me as a father who was in a nightmare with my ex girlfriend over parenting of our daughter. The mother moved out of state without letting anyone know as parenting was being sought by me. She accused me of every form of abuse that I thought was possible including domestic ...violence, drug abuse, verbal abuse, alcoholism, animal abuse, pornography addiction and a many others. Mr. St louis went head to head on every accusation against top attorneys in the area and prevailed on every issue. EVERY issue. Mr. St. Louis has a style that is unmatched in the court room. He stands up for his clients and does so with a passion. He is professional and will not play the games that many attorneys do. I would not hesitate to use Mr. St. louis for any legal matter. I was very fortunate to have found Mr. St. louis and happily give him a top rating as an attorney

This is a GREAT Lawyer

I have read the "negative" review on Glen St. Louis, and the descriptions are not of the attorney I know that worked so hard and competently for me to keep my children. I had Glen St.Louis as my attorney to obtain my two children in a custody battle and child support modification action. He was profe...ssional, courteous and very creative at thinking outside of the box to get a positive result for me. He was courteous and professional to everyone including the commissioners, judges and all that were involved. I recall the other party's attorney, Joseph Wilson, even complimented to me that Mr. St. Louis was a great attorney because of how he got my kids back to me. Mr. Wilson is now a judge so I think people can reach their own conclusion or even check with Judge Wilson. Mr. St. Louis worked very hard for me. He detailed every cost, kept me totally informed and did not fill me with any unfulfilled hope. He even gave me breaks on my bills and was very fair. He is a great attorney and I would recommend him to anyone with a family law problem. He cares about his clients and will work hard for them and also be financially fair with them. Glen St. Louis always has and always will be much appreciated. I would have never been able to do my case without him. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Counsel

Glen helped me with my visitation issue. He was aggressive when he needed to be. Kept me informed but also didnt fill me with false hope. He's straight forward, tells you what to expect good or bad. He also worked with me on payment. I can't begin to describe how that helped me since at the time I wa...s unemployed. He definetely thinks out of the box. On all matters. Thanks Glen.

"I have known attorney Glen St.Louis for about ten years, having heard of his reputation before actually meeting him. His reputation is that of an aggressive strategically-thinking trial lawyer. Since then I have referred trusted friends and family members to him. He is as good as his reputation. That, plus he's pretty interesting."
