Serving Arnold, Missouri
A Law Firm That Knows Jefferson County
Arnold has grown steadily along the Meramec River corridor and the Highway 141 and I-55 interchange, and with that growth comes the same legal issues that come up in any established community: divorces, wills that need updating, a parent's estate that needs to move through probate, or a dispute over a fence line or a contract that fell apart. Doskocil Law Firm has represented Jefferson County families and business owners in these matters for years. Whether you need a family law attorney, an estate planning lawyer, or a trial attorney for a civil dispute, Chris provides direct, personal representation for each matter.
Our nearby office in Fenton, just a short drive up Highway 141, gives Arnold residents an experienced attorney close to home without the drive into downtown St. Louis. Jefferson County family law and probate matters are typically heard at the county courthouse in Hillsboro, and Chris has appeared there regularly throughout his career.
We meet with clients by appointment, which lets us give every case the focused attention it deserves rather than rushing through a waiting room. When you call about a legal matter affecting your family, your estate, or your property, you talk to the attorney handling your case.

Common questions from Arnold residents
Frequently Asked Legal Questions
Do I need an uncontested divorce attorney if my spouse and I already agree on everything?
Yes. An uncontested divorce lawyer still makes sure your paperwork is filed correctly, your settlement agreement is enforceable, and your interests are protected even when both parties are cooperating.
What happens if a family member contests a will during probate?
A will contest attorney can represent either the estate or the person challenging the will. Contested probate matters in Jefferson County move through the courthouse in Hillsboro, and having a probate litigation attorney early in the process helps protect your position.
Can a wills and trusts lawyer update an estate plan I already have?
Absolutely. An estate planning attorney can review an existing will or trust and update it to reflect changes in your family, your assets, or Missouri law since it was drafted.
What kind of property disputes do you handle for Arnold homeowners?
Our property dispute attorney handles boundary disagreements, easement issues, and other real estate litigation matters that come up between neighbors or in real estate transactions throughout Jefferson County.
