"We have used Joan's insight and experience twice now in 5 years - I cannot begin to express our gratitude for her help. Not only does she have a great knowledge of Missouri laws, she is compassionate, has great insight, can fall back on years of her experience and she is extremely supportive. She responds quickly and professionally. I never once felt as if I was not aware of what was happening, or that she was too busy to answer any of my many questions. If you need great, professional, informed assistance with a family court issue, Joan is the person you should use. She intercedes, interprets, and guides you with compassion and knowledge. Thank you Joan!"
