Lexstop Law Firm LLC is a full service law firm that I founded which can provide a variety of legal services to the good honest people and businesses of Missouri and Illinois. A lot of people are confused by the name. Lex is Latin for law and the stop is self explanatory. Hence, the name simply means law stop. I didn't want to have a name like Mueller and Associates or Traffic Ticket Law Firm LLC because every law firm I know of has a name just like it. Plus, how many people in Saint Louis do you know named Mueller? We strive to be different by offering the highest quality legal services and customer support to clients. Although we initially started advertising traffic and speeding ticket work, we can handle a lot of other legal issues. The reason we began advertising this way is because one in six people get a traffic ticket in any given year making it by far the most common legal problem people encounter in their everyday lives. Further, we are so sure that once you know of the quality of our work and how you will be treated on a simple matter, you will come back in the future for other legal services. To help differentiate ourselves, I came up with this unique name so the client knows when they hire lexstop they know exactly what they will be getting. A law firm firmly committed to helping as many good honest people and businesses as possible.. IMPORTANT LEGAL DISCLAIMER:. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.
