The Importance of Choosing the Right Lawyer
It’s simple—you want to know you’re covered legally, financially, and ethically. The right lawyer will be completely upfront with you about everything you can expect from the process, including and especially what you pay. The right lawyer will also not put your case on the backburner; they will remain in constant communication through every step.
Most Law Offices Charge Extra Fees, But Will Not Tell You About Them.
They will charge you the court filing fee (approximately $100.00), but not include it in their quote even though they are aware that fee will always apply.
If you have a house or other property, other law firms will charge you a fee for writing each deed that transfers the property to one person’s name.
Other firms may charge you to print a form to transfer title for any vehicles, even if it’s easier and less costly to go to the license bureau. If you have a retirement account like an IRA, SIMPLE, 401(k), etc., other firms will charge you an arm and a leg to file the order (called a QDRO) to divide it.

Bruce Galloway Law Cares
We BELIEVE IN WHAT WE DO. Two adults can and should make decisions for themselves and their children.
We STAND BEHIND OUR WORK. If the judge has a question about the paperwork, our lawyers will handle it.
We WANT YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE ACCEPTED. If you have a term that is not legal, we will suggest a way to make it legal and still honor your intention.
We GIVE YOU OUR BEST WORK. We are experienced in drafting documents that adhere to the strict guidelines of the Missouri Courts.
We PUT YOUR AGREEMENT FIRST. Your agreement is not put on the back of our “to do” list while a lawyer goes to trial on another case.
Who Do We Work With?
We are hired by anyone who made a complete agreement with their spouse. We cannot represent the two of you, but our agreements require both sides to be truthful and disclosing. Both parties will have our complete honesty, and we will discourage anyone from signing a document unless they verify that they understand each term. The only advising we will do in this process will be to ensure the terms used in the agreement are legal terms. Your agreement will be carefully reviewed by our office to ensure it is legally binding and that all terms are clearly spelled out.
