I am a St. Louis native, having grown up in St. Chalres, Missouri.  I've been married since 2006 and have one son and a daughter.  I am active in my church and enjoy singing with our worship team.  My family and I love to travel and to be active.. My husband is a small business owner, owning two local laundromats.

I am a St. Louis attorney dedicated to client advocacy. I treat my clients as I would friends or family, and I never lose sight of the fact that I work for the client, not the other way around. Professionalism and quality customer service is paramount

I am a plaintiff's attorney and devote the majority of my trial practice to representing injured parties in medical malpractice and significant personal injury cases. I have been counsel in jury cases in state and federal court, in both Missouri and Illinois.

I am a divorce, marital and family law attorney, and I've been doing this exclusively for nearly 30 years.  I began my law practice in the field of commercial and insurance litigation, working for a large Clayton firm and learning all aspects of complex litigation and trial work.   Over time, I became interested in family law as a specialty in which I could represent individuals, and be helpful to them at the most difficult times in their lives.  I saw this as both challenging and gratifying, and it has been.  Since 1989 the focus of my practice has been upon creating unique solutions to difficult problems in complicated divorce cases.    Click the "Show Full Resume" link below to find more information about my training and about my articles and presentations.. Most frequently, my client is the husband or wife in a marriage in which there is a family business or a professional practice, or other significant financial asset or issue.   I represent professionals in all fields, business owners and entrepreneurs, CEOs and high level executives of both public and private companies, and the spouses of such people, in divorce cases in St. Louis and throughout the state of Missouri.   I represent some of St. Louis' most prominent citizens with utmost discretion and skill.  Many of these cases are remarkably complex, yet you've never heard of them.. I have found that most people do not want a contentious and public divorce if it is possible to avoid it; instead, they want someone to discreetly but assertively represent their interests, and to take the time to consider the unique aspects of their own particular case, and to develop a strategy intended to arrive at an agreed-upon  solution, all without a trial.   Most of the time, I'm happy to say that we are able to deliver such a result.  Occasionally however, it is necessary to try the case in court, and I am fully prepared to do so in those circumstances.  I write and speak frequently, both locally and nationally, on topics related to such cases.    Our firm, Zerman Mogerman LLC, is a leader in family law practice in St. Louis and throughout Missouri, and we are well known by top divorce lawyers in other major cities throughout the United States.    I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML)) and one of only 100 Diplomates throughout the nation of the American College of Family Trial Lawyers (ACFTL).   In 2017, I was appointed to serve as one of six members of the Missouri Commission on the Retirement, Removal, and Discipline of Judges by the Missouri Bar Board of Governors.. In my opinion, participation in high-quality continuing legal education is critical to providing a high-quality law practice.  Because of this, I frequently both attend and present continuing legal education programs on all topics related to complex family law cases, the financial issues arising in them, and trial and negotiation skills.    Most recently, in both 2015 and 2017 I was one of 48 family law attorneys who attended the Negotiation Skills training program offered by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in conjunction with the Harvard Negotiation Project, in Cambridge Massachussetts, and I co-chair this program of the AAML.   I teach every summer since 2012 at the ABA's annual Family Law Trial Advocacy Program in Boulder, Colorado, and for 10 summers now have also taught practical skills to young lawyers at the AAML Institute for Family Law Associates.  These experiences allow me to learn the latest thinking and best practices from my colleagues all around the country while at the same time I am imparting what I know to others.   Click the "Show Full Resume" link below to find more information about my training and about my articles and presentations.. I look forward to meeting with you, and I'm certain I can be helpful to you if you call.   Thank you for taking the time to this profile.

I am a criminal trial lawyer with over 25 years of experience.  I have defended death penalty cases and tried numerous murder cases and serious sex offenses.  I have represented clients throughout the State of Missouri and in federal district court in Missouri, Illinois, Alabama, and South Carolina.  I have argued cases before the Supreme Court of Missouri, the Missouri Court of Appeals, and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have submitted appellate briefs in the Fourth, Seventh and Eleventh Circuits and the United States Supreme Court.. I am a member of the Federal Criminal Justice Act Lead Panel in the Eastern District of Missouri and the Southern District of Illinois , a contract attorney for the Missouri State Public Defender System and the Principal Shareholder and managing attorney of Frank, Juengel & Radefeld P.C. a St. Louis based criminal defense firm.. I believe everyone accused of a crime has the right to be defended by an experienced and effective lawyer, no matter what the charge.  Often the defense lawyer is the only one to stand up for the accused, and stand between them and the Government, who are trying to take away their liberty.  I feel privileged to defend my clients and work hard to make sure the Government and the Courts do not violate their Constitutional Rights.

I am a criminal defense attorney.  That is all that I do.  I do not dabble in other areas of law.  I solely practice criminal defense.  Whether your case requires a jury trial, plea negotiations, or appellate advocacy, I have done all of these things effectively and continue to do them on a daily basis.. Criminal charges have serious consequences that can follow a person for life.  I strive to have a close connection with all of my clients to ensure that they feel comfortable and are always fully informed about their case.  I encourage my clients to ask questions and to call me if they are unsure about anything.  When my clients call me, unless I am in Court, I actually answer the phone. If I am in Court or with a client, I return the call promptly.   This includes calls at night or on weekends.  If you are my client, you will have my cell phone number.  You will not continuously reach my voicemail or a secretary.. The choices that my clients and I make about their cases are important and I insist that my clients are active participants in their defense.   I strive to provide them with candid and well informed advice that comes from working in this field for the past twelve years.. I am licensed to practice in Missouri and Illinois.  Although the bulk of my practice is in and around the St. Louis area I routinely travel to other jurisdictions in each state. Regardless of your specific issue, whether it be a municipal, state or federal charge, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.  I am more than willing to answer your questions and provide you with my professional opinion.

I am a business law, real estate transactions and commercial transactions attorney with experience representing individuals and small to mid-size businesses in complex legal matters and finding creative legal solutions to life's most important challenges and opportunities.

Hi Folks, and thank you for taking a look at my profile.  I've been practicing personal injury and employment litigation since I graduated from law school. I only represent individuals and have never represented big insurance companies or employers.  I love what I do and I love helping others when times get tough.  I give all my clients my cell phone number and I'm available 24/7 for them.  If you have a legal problem feel free to give me a call.  If I can't help you I will put you in touch with the best lawyer I know on the subject.  Thanks.

Hello and thank you for visiting my Avvo profile.  Contemplating what will happen to you in the event of death or disability can be stressful.  You must make difficult decisions concerning your finances, family and perhaps business enterprises.. As a St. Louis Estate Planning and Probate Administration Attorney, I work with you to navigate these difficult decisions and plan for tomorrow's uncertainties.. Depending on a client's situation, I prepare wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives (sometimes referred to as "living wills."). I also represent clients involved in the administration of a probate estate.    This entails transferring ownership of a deceased person's assets to their heirs or beneficiaries.. While it is difficult to think through the eventualities of life, there is no reason that planning your estate should be.  I hope to make the estate planning process as straightforward and painless for you as possible.  Please feel free to contact me or visit my firm's website for more information.. THE CHOICE OF A LAWYER IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION AND SHOULD NOT BE BASED SOLELY UPON ADVERTISEMENTS.

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Bob Linhares. I have been married to my wife, Megan, since 1986. We have lived in Florissant, MO, since 1988. We have three children and they have been a true blessing and joy to us. When our kids were young we were actively involved in their sports and school activities, volunteering as coaches and serving on many parish and school comittees at Sacred Heart, our parish family here in Florissant. We remain active in our parish and community in many different ways. Megan and I like to get out and enjoy nature as often as possible. One thing we always enjoyed as a family was our annual vacation. Over the years we have hung out at the beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida, stayed in some great cottages along Lake Michigan, hiked the Grand Canyon and climbed 14,000-ft. peaks in Colorado. I  enjoy the sport of archery and occassionaly like to get out and hunt with my long bow.. I have been an attorney since 1988 and am licensed to practice in Missouri and Illinois. I have been a partner at Rebman, Linhares & Beachem, P.C., since 1998. My partners, Joe Rebman and Greg Beachem are not only my law partners but are good friends and we do whatever we can to help each other. After many years of teaching pre-kindergarten my wife Megan joined our office in 2011 and now serves as our office manager and paralegal. Megan has a bachelor's degree in Journalism and also worked as a corporate writer for a number of years. She wears many hats at the office and they all fit her well!. I have tried a number of cases in State and Federal Court over the years, but the primary focus of my practice is now concentrated in three areas: 1) Estate Planning and Elder Care/Disability Law. I draft traditional estate planning documents such as Revocable Trusts, Wills, and General Durable Power of Attorney documents for financial and health care decisons. I also draft specialized estate planning documents that can help protect assets and in certain cases allow people to qualify for or remain on benefits such as Medicaid or Social Security Disability. For example I can meet with you to help determine if a Special Needs Trust might be of help to a person receiving some form of government disability benefits or whether an Irrevocable Trust might make sense as a planning tool for asset protection in the event skilled nursing care and Medicaid benefits are needed in the future. I am a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. 2) Probate Law. I have handled many probate estates over the years and can efficiently guide you through the probate system. Probate estates may involve a Will or a situation where the deceased left no Will. The estate may be large or it may involve less than $40,, in which case a Small Estate Affidavit may be used to speed up the process. Examples of other types of probate matters are Petition For Determination Of Heirs, Spousal Refusal Of Letter, Creditor Refusal Of Letters, and Guardianship and Conservatorship Estates. 3) Business and Real Estate Law. I can represent a Buyer or Seller in drafting and negotiating a Sale Contract, draft real property deeds and provide counsel in all types of real estate issues. I can help a business select the right type of entity and draft the needed documents to begin operation, such as the Operating Agreement for an LLC. I can also provide counsel to your business on everyday legal issues involving contracts and employment.
