Family Law and Juvenile Law are Michael’s areas of concentration. He has been providing experienced and compassionate family law and divorce representation to clients in the St. Louis area and surrounding communities since he began his practice in 1995.
Family Law is not only divorce, but any legal matter relating to the family. Whether you need representation in a legal separation, child custody, visitation, support, division of assets, modification of orders, contempt issues, prenuptial agreement validity, parental kidnapping, business valuation, temporary custody, guardianship or juvenile delinquency case, Michael has the knowledge and experience to represent your interests. Although he strongly believes in helping people resolve their differences without extensive litigation, he is aware that this is not always possible and is committed to fighting for his client’s interest in the often difficult and confusing legal process.
Michael is also an experienced and successful personal injury attorney. His excellent negotiation skills have resulted in quick and fair settlements for many clients over the years. Further, if settlement is not reached quickly, he is a willing and hard-working litigator who will take on the insurance companies and their attorneys in the courtroom to vigorously defend your rights and protect your interests.
Quite often, questions and problems arise from what may appear to be a simple matter. Perhaps you need help with a business contract, personal contract, breach of fiduciary duty, landlord/tenant dispute or general civil litigation. Michael has the knowledge and experience to provide you with effective, personal advice or representation in any of these areas.
