Firm: St. Louis Estate Planning LLC

13610 Barrett Office Dr. Suite 111 , Saint Louis , Missouri 63021

Practice Areas: Estate Planning

Scott Keifer founded St. Louis Estate Planning to focus exclusively on helping clients establish quality and cost-effective plans. “When I was young I accompanied my parents on their visit to an estate planning attorney in downtown St. Louis. I was struck by the fancy law office in the tall building, the wood paneled walls in the conference room and windows overlooking other expensive buildings. I wondered how much my parents were paying to support all of this overhead. I thought, why can’t all of this overhead be reduced and the cost savings passed along to hard working people like my parents." This thought is the basis of St. Louis Estate Planning.. Not working at a big law firm gives Scott the ability to give his clients better service and a professional work product without all of the unnecessary overhead. Scott spends more time with his clients than most other attorneys, doesn’t sell them solutions they don’t need, and does so at about half of the cost. Scott graduated from Truman State University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and passed the Missouri Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in 1994. In 1997 Scott graduated from University of Missouri School of Law and passed the Missouri Bar.. During law school, Scott worked as an unpaid intern for a Magistrate with the United States District Court while also working a blue-collar construction job at Extel Communications. After passing the Missouri Bar, Scott accepted a management position at Extel and later became a co-owner. For more than 17 years, Scott used his accounting and law degrees as a foundation for his role in handling finances, taxes, contract management, legal disputes, human resources, and state and federal legal compliance.. In 2015 Scott decided to focus exclusively on estate planning and opened St. Louis Estate Planning. Working from his office in southwest St. Louis County, he provides estate planning consultation and solutions to clients within a 2 hour drive of St. Louis.. Scott and his wife, Claire, have been married since 2002 and have two daughters and one son. They live in South St. Louis County and are members of St. Catherine Laboure Catholic Church. Scott enjoys cheering his kids on at their athletic events, as well as volunteering for the Boy Scouts. Scott’s (non-family related) highlight each year is taking a backpacking trip with his life-long friends on amazing trails in Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, California, and Utah.

I enjoy trial. I enjoy being in the courtroom. I have built my reputation on my ability and willingness to try cases both before juries and judges. I have also earned the respect of my clients by providing candid legal advice based upon what my clients need to hear rather than what they want to hear. My clients may not always like what I tell them, but they appreciate understanding their rights and strength or weakness of their position.

1610 Des Peres Road , Saint Louis , Missouri 63131

Practice Areas: Family

I am the child of divorced parents who returned to court several times throughout my childhood. I interacted with attorneys at a young age, which sparked an early interest in child advocacy. I graduated law school in 2009, in the middle of a financial crisis. Jobs were few and far between. I spent my first year after graduation completing training for and volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate in the St. Louis City Juvenile Court, advocating for children in foster care. I was raised in St. Louis and chose to stay here to raise my family. In my free time, I enjoy baking, cake decorating, cooking, and spending time with my family.. I grew up the child of divorced parents. Like many divorced families, mine experienced several child support and custody modifications. My family went through the same things my clients’ families are going through – court hearings, depositions, and expert witnesses. While I have not stood in the exact same shoes as most of my clients, my experience as a child of divorced parents provides me with a unique perspective and approach to family law. It’s also what led me to get certified as a Guardian ad Litem. Working as a Guardian ad Litem has helped me develop a more child-centric approach to custody matters.. Family law often involves strong emotions and difficult decisions. I consider it a privilege to be able to help people get through what is often one of the most challenging times in their lives. Family law issues are disruptive, unpredictable, and scary. My goal as a family law attorney is to help people navigate this process with grace and the knowledge to lead them to the best possible result.
