About us
Listen: Once we fully understand your situation, concerns and goals, we can help you choose the best path to resolve your family law matter. You will always have a clear road map of what lies ahead.
Prepare: Whether your case is “kitchen table” or contested litigation, we will work with you to gather the necessary information, analyze options, negotiate and lay the groundwork for your desired outcome.
Resolve: Our goal is to move you quickly and efficiently, from dispute, to resolution. We have the skills to help you work towards settlement and, if necessary, the experience to resolve your matter within the court process.
We represent clients in: St. Louis County; St. Louis City; St. Charles County; and Jefferson County.
Options:
A non-contested, or “kitchen table” matter requires two individuals who both wish to reach an agreement regarding all issues. Our role in a non-contested matter may include advising on the overall fairness of an agreement, drafting the necessary settlement documents, and submitting the agreement to the court. An advantage in a non-contested matter is that the cost can often be far less than in a litigated case. In addition, the parties retain control over the timing and outcome of their case. The parties may, in many instances, avoid the need to ever appear in court. Of great importance, parents may be able to better preserve their co-parenting relationships.
Mediation is appropriate when the parties wish to retain more control over the timing and outcome of their matter, but are unable to reach an agreement on their own. Mediation involves the assistance of a third-party neutral who helps the parties have a conversation about the contested matters and hopefully assist the parties in reaching a resolution. A mediator may not provide legal advice to either party, but will often draft a settlement agreement and parenting plan for the parties to review in consultation with their respective attorneys.
Some cases cannot be resolved in... show more a non-contested setting. This could be due to a lack of trust between the parties or an unwillingness to reach a compromise. In a litigated case, we gather information through discovery, negotiate with opposing counsel, advise about possible settlement, and if necessary, prepare for a trial in which a judge will decide all contested matters.
The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements. No information contained on this site should be considered legal advice. The use of this website does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney/client relationship.

mudrusaduc asked:I'm looking for a family lawyer in St Louis County. I am looking for a family law lawyer to represent me in St Louis County on a Order of Protection on Nov 10th at 9 am, that my wife has filed against me. Story: We are both citizens of Illinois and we were living in Collinsville, IL for the last 4-5 years. Last week she received a message from someone through facebook that claim I was cheating on her. She left on the 20th when I was away for the day and then filed two Order of Protections against me, one in IL and on in MO. I currently have a lawyer representing me in IL. He seem to think that with a Missouri lawyer's help, I should be able to get the OP dropped in Missouri because of Jurisdiction. I haven't had much luck getting a lawyer available at on Nov 10th to represent me.
Rootsinsky replied:Matt Voorhees - he has an amazing grasp of case law and will be able to help you with advice on your best options moving forward. He is dedicated to his clients and you can tell he puts in the time. I've hired him personally and can't speak highly enough of his work. http://www.voorheesfamilylaw.com/
