We have over twenty years of combined experience in family law matters in St. Louis. We are licensed in Missouri, and practice in St. Louis County and the city of St. Louis.Our lawyers are knowledgeable, aggressive and compassionate. But we refuse to "tell you what you want to hear" simply to obtain or keep your business. You need honest information and advice to make decisions based on the facts, the law, and the probabilities of the outcome you wish. We will estimate the costs of various options with you before proceeding, as we understand that financial limitations are a reality in many family law situations.The Carson Law Firm understands that to effectively serve you in your divorce or child custody case, we must provide a vast network of professionals in the St. Louis area and beyond. Professionals like counselors, coaches, custody evaluators, accountants, business valuators and appraisers may be needed as we work through your case. Sometimes our clients already have a relationship with these partners, and other times we help them select an appropriate person for their unique situation.We have extensive trial experience in all sorts of cases, including divorce, child support, child custody, mediation, legal guardianship and appeals. Our attorneys understand the intensity and complexity of emotional family court cases, especially when it comes to conflict related to child custody and assets. Our law firm has been involved in a number of ground-breaking cases, including one where a non-biological parent received joint custody and another where a non-biological parent received substantial visitation.
