Vouga Elder Law, LLC. Rick Vouga grew up in Frontenac, Missouri and obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in 1972 and his Juris Doctor Degree in 1975 from Washington University.. He has been in private practice for over 38 years and is a lifelong resident of St. Louis Count with a current practice of Asset Protection, Veterans Benefits, Special Needs Trusts, Medicaid Planning, Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Administration, and Supplemental Security Income.. He resides in Ellisville, Missouri, with his wife Dana, of 33 years, where they have raised their four daughters.. Dana is a lifelong resident of St. Louis County, growing up in St. Ann and attending Meramec Community College.  Dana worked at two different law firms before they began their family.  After their daughter with special needs was born, Dana became involved with the Williams Syndrome Association, and became the President of the National Board of Directors.  After also serving as Executive Director for LETS (Lets End Teenage Suicide) and raising their daughters, she returned to being a paralegal.. Dana is a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and is the firm’s Long Term Care Paralegal.  As a CSA, Dana has knowledge about aging, social and financial issues, and health information that affects the majority of seniors.  Dana also assists clients and their loved ones by educating them on how they can protect assets, avoid Medicaid “spend down,” and obtain Veterans Administration Pension Benefits.. “We are passionate about the work we do because of our personal experiences.  Our second daughter was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome at the age of three months and when she was eighteen, she was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder.  She graduated from Lafayette High School with a modified diploma.  She is currently 28 years old and she receives Medicaid, SSI, and food stamps.  We have been through the emotional and psychological issues of diagnosis, the challenges of parenting a child with a disability and school issues.  Then came the transition to life after schooling.  We chose not to go through Guardianship, completed the maze of government forms for health insurance and financial assistance, and finally, ‘let go’ and allowed our ‘child’ to become, as independent as possible.”  Rick and Dana are here to tell you that “We would be honored to be your guide through these trials and tribulations. “. They are also very familiar with what it is like to “lose” a loved one to Alzheimer’s disease.  After keeping her at home for as long as possible, Dana’s beloved grandmother, “Nan,” died of Alzheimer’s in 1995 in a skilled nursing   facility.  Rick’s step-mother died from Alzheimer’s after spending 5 years in a memory care unit in a skilled nursing facility, after she was no longer to be cared for at home.  We are well aware of the difficult, and often times painful decisions and planning that accompany Alzheimer’s disease.. Rick’s father, Jim, is a 97 year old World War II Navy Veteran, who served as a machinist mate aboard a destroyer, the USS Philip, from 1942 to 1945.  Rick’s Dad was one of the lucky ones who came home.  Jim’s brother, Roger, his only sibling, wasn’t as lucky; he was killed fighting in France.  We believe that those who served their country in the military should receive all the benefits the government has provided for them and that they have earned through their service.. We look forward to getting to know each of our clients and their families as they become part of our family.  We want you to know there is help out there, and we are committed to being your trustworthy guide through your Elder Care Journey!. Best Personal Regards,. Rick and Dana Vouga

I'm an experienced US trademark and copyright attorney living in St. Louis, Missouri.  Since graduating from law school in 2005, I have helped hundreds of individuals, businesses, organizations, associations, and educational institutons avoid the devastating and disastrous effects of being sued for intellectual property infrngement by making sure they take all the legal steps necessary to protect themselves.  I take this responsibility very seriously because I have seen first-hand what can happen when someone fails to seek the advice and guidance of a trusted intellectual property attorney.. When I'm not wearing my attorney hat, I enjoy weightlifting, running, playing softball and volleyball, following current events, trying new restaurants, and watching baseball (especially the St. Louis Cardinals).  I am also an instructor at a local community college where I teach a continuing education course on trademark and copyright.

I wanted to be a lawyer and help people since I was 12 years old.   I worked and "student loaned" my way through college and law school.  I was the first person from the Nolan family to obtain a college degree and then a law degree.  Among my many jobs growing up and throughout my schooling I was a paperboy, a bell hop, a busboy, construction laborer, pizza chef. I was privileged to work as a Summer Intern with the Illinois Attorney General's Office between my Second and Third years of Law School and obtained valuable experience there.  I was a research assistant to one of our professors during law school.. After graduation from law school I worked at a small firm in Alton, Illinois (my home town) and practiced in general civil litigation, including both plaintiff and defendant personal injury cases.  I also handled criminal and domestic relations.. After taking the Missouri Bar exam, I moved to St. Louis County and worked for several law firms handling a variety of cases and courtroom work, including:  Probate, Criminal Defense, DWI Defense, Divorce and Family Law, Auto Accident Injuries and Worker's compensation.. In late 1991, I decided to establish my own law firm and I have been on my own in Solo practice since that time.  Although I now focus primarily on Probate Law, Estates and Estate Planning, I have considerable experience over the years in many areas of law.  I enjoy serving my clients and I believe it is a privilege to practice law.. I currently live in Creve Couer and I am a member of the Creve Coeur Police and Public Safety Committee.  Among my hobbies are running half marathons, cycling, DIY home projects and playing the guitar.

I started my legal career as a Law Clerk for the Honorable Charles B. Blackmar, a Justice with the Missouri Supreme Court and former professor at St. Louis University School of Law. I went on to practice as a trial attorney for the Commercial Litigation Branch of the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. Following this position, I served as a Federal Prosecutor with an emphasis on prosecuting white collar crime, including bank fraud.. After leaving the government, I practiced law at Armstrong, Teasdale, Schlafly & Davis, the third largest law firm in the State of Missouri, where I focused on the areas of commercial litigation, personal injury defense, and white collar criminal defense. I opened my own law firm in 1988.. I attended St. Louis University School of Law where I was the Editor In Chief of the St. Louis University Public Law Review and received the American Jurisprudence Award. I attended college at the University of Missouri St Louis where I graduated Magna Cum Laude and received the Stuart and Evelyn Symington Scholarship Award (former U.S. Senator Stuart Symington).. For over 20 years, I have been a practicing trial attorney. I have litigated and tried cases on behalf of the NASA, the United States Air Force, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Motion Pictures Association of America, and Fortune 500 Companies. Most importantly, I have represented individuals just like you against some of the largest corporations in the world.. In 2003, I was recognized by the National Law Journal as National Litigator of the Month for obtaining an $18 million dollar jury verdict involving the death of a child. The Missouri Lawyers Weekly has listed me in the Top 10 jury verdicts in the State of Missouri. In 2011, The Dysart Law Firm, P.C. settled a case for $39.5 Million.. I want to represent you and use all my past experience and knowledge to help you solve your legal problems and see your case through to a favorable result. It will not cost you anything to speak with me about your case. Call me day or night or contact me online to schedule a free initial consultation.. My firm, when appropriate, may work together with other law firms around the country to make sure we are on a level playing field with giant corporations. If used, this team approach will be done with your knowledge and consent and will not cost you any more than hiring a single attorney or law firm. Moreover, if the team approach is used, I will still personally assist you with every aspect of the case.. To learn more about motor vehicle accidents or my firm, I encourage you to view our educational accident videos about car accidents, motor vehicle product liability, and pedestrian accidents.  We also feature on this website a number of truck accident videos.  I also encourage you to read the many informative articles about motor vehicle accidents on this website.

I devote my practice to helping families navigate disputes involving estate plans and probate administration. My trusts and estates litigation practice includes trust and will contests, the removal of fiduciaries, demands for accountings, and contested guardianships. I am also frequently appointed by probate judges to represent individuals facing guardianship petitions, and as a court-appointed fiduciary.. Like all too many of us, I was first intorduced to the unique legal needs of seniors when a loved one developed Alzheimer's disease.  I saw first hand the devastating impact this dreaded disease can have both on the person and that person's loved ones.  Years of watching my aunt start to "slip" were followed by helping my family navigate the complex progression from assisted living, to memory care, to finally hospice.  The one consolation was that my aunt was able to receive the care she needed in the facilities she would have wanted because her family had consulted with an elder law lawyer to protect her finances.. I had found my passion.  After spending the first decade of my practice as a lawyer in court representing parties in lawsuits, I dedicated myself to developing the knowledge necessary to help other families who were facing the same challenges I saw my aunt and her family go through.  I have also continued to use my years of experience as a litigator to help individuals understand their rights and, when necessary, go to court to protect those rights.

I dedicate my practice to helping injured parties receive the compensation that they deserve. I have handled hundreds of cases involving personal injury, car accidents, product liability, slip and falls, dog bites and negligent supervision, in addition to Workers' Compensation claims.

I chose my practice areas in estate planning and elder law because of my work and education background.  I have an M.S. in psychology and worked with Seniors diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimer's as well as those with mental and physical special needs. Tucker Legal Services, LLC is rebranded from the time I first opened my doors in 1992. My first firm handled estate planning and school law issues. I remained Of Counsel for law firms while teaching school law and ethics on the university level while my own children matured, finished college and became lawyers.. Seniors and people with disabilities need extra care in estate planning. As the needs for Senior citizens changed in estate planning, my practice shifted to include the area of Elder law issues, including Medicaid planning. My main focus is helping people preserve their legacy and assets. I am an advocate for peace of mind in estate planning and elder law issues.

I am a father, a husband, an attorney, and a small business owner. I have had careers in counseling, restaurants, retail, and law. This varied background and wide range of knowledge helps me relate to a diverse range of planning needs.. My background in counseling and my personal experiences with loss led me to become an estate planning attorney. As an estate planning attorney I can teach people how to properly plan for the future. The proper planning will give you security in your own future and will help you secure your legacy into the future.

Experienced disability attorney

DEDICATED TO HELPING THOSE IN NEED. My father was a surgeon and known for his willingness to help people who couldn't afford normal fees. We ended up with a lot of random gifts while I was growing up from thankful patients. Sadly, my dad died when I was nine, and I got a first hand look at the other side as I went from a doctors family to my mom raising us alone, as a teacher.. Now it is my turn to serve. I do that by helping disabled people get Social Security benefits and Medicare as well as guiding them to other important resources to help them make the most of their challenges.. At Integrated Benefits, Inc. (IBI), I've been fortunate to get to help thousands of claimants through corporate referrals. I also have complementary practices with Norwood Disability LLC and Norwood Law LLC. Norwood Disability allows me to offer my services to individuals, and Norwood Law LLC allows me to appeal denails to the federal court system.
