New Office Location

We are pleased and excited to announce our firm recently moved into our new state-of-the art building at 1305 Southwest Blvd., Ste. A, Jefferson City, MO.  Centrally located in the heart of the capital city, our new location provides us the ability to expand our client services without losing our former charm.  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):



Q:  What is an attorney?
A:  Attorneys are the legal representatives of their clients in court in criminal and civil trials.  Attorneys advise their clients as to their legal rights and particular courses of action in individual cases.

Q:  What types of law do your attorneys practice?
A:  The types of law that our attorneys practice cover almost every aspect of society.  Some examples include criminal, family, property tax appeals, real estate and personal injury law.

Q:  Where do your attorneys live and work?
A:  Our attorneys are local Jefferson City residents and have deep roots in our local communities.  In general, the courtroom is the arena where our attorneys spend most of their time.  However, much time is spent outside the courtroom involving research, trial preparation, negotiations, client meetings and investigation.

Q:  What kind of attorney do I need?
A:  Many attorneys specialize in one area of the law.  Our attorneys are not so narrowly confined and instead enjoy a wide range of matters that they handle.  The result to you is that you aren't required to shop around to find someone who limits their practice to a particular area of law.  

Q:  How much do your attorneys charge?
A:  There are several different types of fee arrangements, including hourly fees, flat fees and contingent fees.  Hourly fees are calculated by multiplying the amount of hours an attorney works on your case by the attorney’s hourly rate.  Contingent fees are fees that allow the attorney to receive a certain agreed-upon percentage of any judgment amounts you receive.  A fixed rate places a set price for the services an attorney will provide you with.  Attorney fees are usually calculated without including court costs and filing fees that are usually paid upfront by the client. Our attorneys seek to explain our fees and billing practices prior to engaging their
services.

Q: Can I do this myself? 
A:  Sure, if you are also the type of person who would remove your own appendix.  The legal system is complex.  Not only do you face court and its rules of conduct and procedure, but likely an unreasonable litigant for an opponent as well.  Laws change in most areas nearly every year, and they particularly do not favor those who have been convicted of a crime.  The long-term consequences of a judgment or conviction are becoming more and more severe.  Why not explore your options through a free initial interview with our attorneys? 
 
Q. I think I should just go in and plead guilty. What can you really do for me? 
A:  There is no point in not consulting an attorney.  What may seem obvious to you may look entirely different through the lens of a knowledgeable and experienced attorney.
