St. Louis, MO estate & probate attorneys Martha Brown, Alicia Albus, and Nikki Mitchel share what makes their firm different, the level of service clients can expect, and how they charge for their services. They state that the firm stands out as the oldest and most experienced elder law practice in St. Louis, with a legacy of service that predates any other in the area. Clients can expect compassionate, patient, and professional assistance from every member of the team—whether they are new clients seeking guidance for the first time or long-term clients returning for additional support. The staff is highly experienced in working with individuals and families in crisis, understanding the urgency and emotional weight that often accompany elder law matters. The firm prioritizes responsiveness and empathy while ensuring that every client receives clear, effective, and timely answers. The goal is to help clients move forward proactively while recognizing and respecting the emotional challenges they may be facing.

In terms of fees, the firm offers several transparent options designed to meet clients’ needs. An initial consultation fee applies to the first meeting, which typically lasts about an hour and a half and involves a detailed review of the client’s legal situation. In many cases, issues can be resolved during that consultation. If further services are required, most matters are handled on a flat-fee basis, providing clients with cost certainty and no unexpected charges. For guardianship and probate cases, services are billed hourly, with a detailed fee schedule provided in advance. Clients receive monthly billing statements outlining the time spent and services rendered, ensuring complete transparency throughout the process.
