A St. Louis Law Firm Rooted in the Community
Doskocil Law Firm maintains a St. Louis office at 3407 S Jefferson Ave, tucked between the Benton Park and The Hill neighborhoods just off I-55, a few minutes from the courthouses downtown near the Old Courthouse and the Gateway Arch grounds. Clients from Soulard, South Grand, and the Central West End regularly meet with Chris Doskocil here rather than driving out to the Fenton office. The firm also serves neighborhoods from South City to Clayton and everywhere in between.
Families across St. Louis City and St. Louis County turn to this office for the same reasons they always have: a divorce that needs to move quickly and quietly, a parent's estate that has to go through probate, or a contract dispute that threatens a small business. Whatever brought you here, you deserve legal counsel that treats your matter like it matters.
This office operates by appointment only, so calls are answered personally and consultations are scheduled around your matter, not squeezed between walk-ins.

What to expect
How Your Case Moves Forward From Our St. Louis Office
Every matter starts with understanding your situation and ends with a plan built around your goals. Here is what working with our office typically looks like.
1
Initial Case Evaluation
We start with a case evaluation to understand your family law, estate, probate, or civil matter, and to explain your options in plain language before anything is filed.
2
Strategy and Filing
Once we know your goals, we prepare and file the necessary documents, whether that means an uncontested divorce petition, an estate plan, or a probate filing with the St. Louis County Circuit Court.
3
Negotiation or Litigation
Many matters resolve through negotiation. When a contract dispute, property dispute, or probate dispute cannot be settled that way, we prepare and try the case as your trial attorney.
4
Resolution and Follow-Up
We carry your matter through to signed orders, recorded documents, or a final court judgment, and remain available afterward for questions about implementation.
Common questions from St. Louis clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to visit the Clayton courthouse for my St. Louis County estate matter?
Many probate filings and hearings for St. Louis County residents are handled through the county's probate division, and our probate administration attorney manages filings and appearances so you are not left guessing about court procedure.
Can an uncontested divorce attorney really speed up my case?
Yes. When both spouses agree on the major terms, an uncontested divorce lawyer can often move a St. Louis case through the court system faster and at a lower cost than a contested proceeding.
What happens if someone contests a will in St. Louis?
A will contest attorney reviews the grounds for the challenge, whether it involves capacity, undue influence, or improper execution, and represents your interests in probate litigation before the appropriate St. Louis court.
Do you handle real estate disputes involving St. Louis City property?
Yes. Our real estate dispute attorney and real property lawyer regularly handle boundary disagreements, title issues, and landlord-tenant conflicts affecting property in St. Louis City and County.
