Criminal Defense

We represent clients accused of a wide range of felonies and misdemeanors in Missouri state courts.

• Drunk driving (DUI/DWI)
• Traffic violations
• Drug charges
• Sex crimes such as possession of child pornography or solicitation of a minor
• Theft crimes such as burglary, robbery and shoplifting
• Violent crimes, including assault and battery

Family Law

We represent families throughout Missouri in domestic relations matters, including the ones listed below. These matters can be emotional, but we help our clients put emotions aside and help them make the right decisions regarding the issues that affect them.

• Divorce
• Child support
• Child custody and visitation
• Modification of existing court orders/contempt of court
• Paternity and related matters

Personal Injury

If you have suffered an injury in an accident caused by another person or party's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. We can help you pursue a personal injury claim to cover expenses related to your accident, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Real Estate

We handle a range of real estate matters, including construction disputes, landlord/tenant matters, and zoning and land use issues. Attorney Gerald Wayne Furnell has represented many developers throughout all phases of commercial and residential real estate development. He can guide clients through the legal system, helping development run smoothly by avoiding potential legal pitfalls.

Bankruptcy

Our law firm assists clients with Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings. Unlike Chapter 13, which can extend a client's ability to start fresh and debt free for as long as five years, a Chapter 7 filing eliminates debt immediately. This immediate debt relief helps individuals and families to gain a quick, fresh start on the path to financial well-being.
