Experience and Integrity Make All the Difference

 

 

Experience is invaluable in negotiating today’s legal environment. There is no substitute for experience. Every case, every client experience, every interaction with the judges and the courts factor into the advice given to the next client. Lessons learned from representing clients and trying cases in Southwest Missouri since 1983 are put to work daily for clients.

Integrity is the foundation of the attorney/client relationship. It allows the client to rest assured that their interests will always be put front and center. Your focus can be on your legal issues and making sound decisions and not on what your attorney may or may not be doing.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

The practice of law is intensely personal, profoundly unique from client to client and case to case, and often adversarial and contentious. The financial and emotional stakes can run high. A lawyer’s office or the courtroom is the last place most people want to be. Our goal is to provide clients with practical, aggressive, effective and personal representation while responding to client needs with honesty and integrity. All clients deserve personal attention to their needs and a lawyer who will look after their best interests.

We take pride in our reputation for integrity and ethics. That reputation is a valuable asset to be used when representing a client. Four decades have been spent creating strong relationships with the court, local banks, investment advisors, appraisers, realtors and accountants.  All are critical partners in creating and administering estate plans. 

WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR LAWYER

 

 

 

Vigorous and effective representation.

Honesty about your legal situation.

Full explanation and clarity about your fee.

That your case will be important.

Phone calls and emails returned.
