Legal Counsel for Old Town Florissant and Beyond

A Law Firm That Knows North County

Florissant residents near Old Town, the Florissant Valley area, or along New Halls Ferry Road deserve legal counsel that treats their case like it matters, not like a file number. Doskocil Law Firm has spent decades representing families and business owners throughout St. Louis County, and that includes the neighborhoods surrounding Koch Park and the St. Ferdinand Shrine.

Many clients in this part of the county come to us after a marriage has run its course, a parent has passed away without a clear estate plan, or a business relationship along the North Lindbergh corridor has soured into a contract dispute. Whatever brought you here, you get a law firm built around personalized legal representation instead of a revolving door of staff.

We understand that driving into the city for a legal consultation isn't always convenient. That's part of why Chris Doskocil remains reachable directly, by phone, so you're not left waiting days for answers on a matter that's already stressful enough.

Family Law Attorney

Whether you need an amicable divorce attorney for an uncontested split or a family law attorney to guide you through custody and support questions, our family law services focus on resolving matters efficiently and with less conflict.

Estate Planning Lawyer

A will and trust attorney can help you protect what you've built for the people who matter most. Our estate planning services cover wills, trusts, and powers of attorney tailored to your family's situation.

Probate Attorney

Losing a loved one is hard enough without navigating estate administration alone. As a probate lawyer serving Florissant families, we guide executors and heirs through probate administration from filing to closing.

Civil Litigation Attorney

From a property dispute attorney's perspective to a business contract dispute lawyer's, our civil litigation attorney experience covers the disagreements that end up in a courtroom.

Probate Litigation Attorney

When an estate administration turns contentious, our probate litigation attorney and will contest attorney experience helps protect your rights as an heir or beneficiary.

Contract Dispute Attorney

A breach of contract attorney on your side can make the difference in a business dispute. As a contract litigation lawyer, we handle disagreements over agreements gone wrong, from vendor contracts to service agreements.

What to Expect

How We Handle Your Case From Start to Finish

Florissant clients typically move through the same four stages, whether the matter involves an uncontested divorce, a will and trust, or a real estate litigation matter. Here's what that process looks like.

  1. Case Evaluation

    We start with a legal consultation where you explain your situation and goals. This case evaluation lets us identify the strongest path forward, whether that's an uncontested divorce filing, an estate plan, or a litigation strategy.

  2. Strategy and Documentation

    Once we understand your matter, we outline next steps and gather the documents needed, from financial records for a divorce to property deeds for a real estate dispute attorney matter.

  3. Filing and Negotiation

    We handle filings with the appropriate St. Louis County court and negotiate on your behalf, whether that's with an opposing spouse, another heir, or a business partner in a contract dispute.

  4. Resolution

    Most matters resolve through negotiated agreement, but when litigation is necessary, you have a trial attorney ready to advocate for you in court through final resolution.
