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

Twenty-two years ago while practicing general law, Joseph E. Cordell realized 85% to 90% of his clients were coming to the Cordell & Cordell firm for domestic relations help.. "During the course of that experience I couldn’t help but notice the challenges consistently facing the guys side of the table when it comes to custody, maintenance issues, and accusations of domestic violence," Mr. Cordell said. "I found in waging those fights that I enjoyed it more. So we proclaimed ourselves as a firm that devoted itself to representing men in domestic relations matters.". Fighting for father’s rights is what motivated Mr. Cordell to become a divorce lawyer for men.. "I was galvanized by guys who were my clients and trying to get primary custody of their children. Even though they were the better parent, they still couldn't get across the finish line in the courts," Mr. Cordell said. "The more frustrated I became, the more incentivized I was to help them.". Since co-founding the firm with his wife, Yvonne, Mr. Cordell and his team of more than 130 divorce lawyers have helped thousands of men going through divorce..

I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I made Richmond, Virginia my home in 2008 an could not be happier. After spending approximately 10 years in general practice i decided to focus on Family Law at the Friedman Law Firm, PC.

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 at law firms that worked for the insurance companies and the businesses they insured. I learned how the insurance companies investigate injuries caused by their clients, collect evidence against the victims, and evaluate claims - in terms of dollars and cents - not in regard to the lives that were broken and forever changed. I worked with adjusters to put a dollar figure on the traumatic injuries suffered by people in Illinois in car accidents and workplace accidents. I also learned how insurance companies minimize their risk of paying money to the injured. I grew frustrated with my role in the process, because an insurance company is in business to collect money and keep it. They are not in the business of compassion for the injured people. Now I want to use the knowledge and experience I gained while working for them, and put it to work for you. I want to help injured people in Illinois get the peace of mind and the security that they deserve. I am committed to justice for real people. You are more than just a case number or another file in the cabinet to me - you are an individual, with problems and needs unlike anyone else. I promise that you and your case will receive my personal attention and I will expend all of my energy bring the knowledge and experience of my legal team to bear to see that you are treated with the respect you deserve.. Away from the Courtroom and the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife Jaci and our dog Wellington. I am still an avid soccer player and works with professional soccer players to further their careers and volunteer with SPENSA, a soccer league for children with special needs. I also serve as the Steering Committee Chairman for the St. Louis Public Library’s Young Literati, a group devoted to spreading the possibilities that exist within the St. Louis library system and reaching out to the community to offer those resources.

I have been practicing law in the Macomb County Michigan area for more than 15 years.  I have extensive business and securities law experience in Southeastern Michigan and throughout the Michigan.. I also have extensive zoning and municipal law experience.  I have been a member of the New Baltimore Zoning Board of Appeals for many years and have served in the capacity of Chairman for several years.  In addition to my ZBA experience I have also previously served as an assistant city attorney for the City of Mt. Clemens and an assistant village attorney for New Haven in Macomb County.. As for Court experience I have been admitted before numerous federal courts including the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have also been admitted to and submitted matters to the United States Supreme Court.
