Laurie is loyal, compassionate, knowledgeable & dedicated. I brought her a nightmare that dragged out for years. She is relatable, trustworthy, and driven. Where others would have wavered, she worked harder.

I went through two attorneys and five years of litigation before hiring Laurie and finalizing my divorce. I regret that I did not know her from day one. I am deeply grateful for Laurie’s service, hard work, legal knowledge, preparedness and passionate advocacy on my behalf. Her straightforward consultations and advice went beyond the scope of law and into the greater realm of facilitating effective human relationships and individual responsibility. Laurie took no time at all to get up to speed on a case that had five years of history. She was obsessive in her preparation, tireless in her effort, outstanding in her communication skills, and ingenious in her advocacy. Unlike some divorce lawyers who seem to enjoy prolonging your case (for their own self-serving way) by employing pointless conflict and disputes with the other party, and not effectively communicating with their client, all the while driving up unnecessary fees, Laurie understands the true financial and emotional 'cost ' of divorce. Her primary interest is to find the best path to resolution. Throughout the entire process I was always well informed, my phone calls and emails were promptly returned and all my questions and concerns were addressed. Her staff was always accessible, kindhearted, dependable, and compassionate. Laurie was extremely patient and understanding to my difficult and often frustrating situation. She was able to remain calm and focused during times that most would not, and even settled my divorce in the midst of a pandemic. I put my trust and faith in her and she delivered on every level.

Your response said you had a staff member call me stating you could not take my case and referred me to someone who might help. That didn’t happen . I never got a call and a month later I called to see what’s going on and she then told me. She dropped the ball and hence wasted 30 days of my life. ????????

Burt represented me on one of the most important days of my life and I couldn’t have asked for better representation. He helped me to understand everything I was going to experience and made an anxious day really easy. He helped me understand how to speak to my case in a simple and impactful way and he showed up for me. I could have selected anyone to take my case, but he brought compassion, honesty, and expertise to everything we dealt with.
Review
I really like Bert. He listened to our side of the story and I believe he really had compassion. He handled our case quickly, I was surprised and very happy. I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know in need of a good Attorney. I didn't think his fees were too high either. Thanks again Bert!
Review
I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I was facing multiple serious felony charges as an 18 year old and he gave me my life back. I ended up being able to have a normal, if not exceptional, college experience, serving no time and having nothing remaining on my permanent record after a short probation period. Bert was extremely professional at all times and has a great relationship with prosecutors in the area. He will give you the best services possible, and I would recommend him for any situation, big or small, that you may need a lawyer for.
Review
When I was looking for attorneys, I came across Bert and he is the most straight forward to giving me answers, very responsive, and respectful. He is very reassuring and genuine when it comes to his clients. He made promises to helping and came through on all of those and always gave updates in a timely manner. I highly recommend having Bert as anyone’s attorney and I would hire him again if needed.
Review
Great professional! Got a case, called him and he took care of it right away. Price is excellent. Very passionate to help you out. Highly recommend!

Tory Bernsen has been great to work with, very responsive and professional. I would recommend this firm for any legal issue you might find yourself in. I was impressed by the relationship Tory has with her peers and the Judges. She made me feel comfortable in court.
Review
I have known both Tory and Tony for many years and also had the pleasure of working with them professionally. I would highly recommend them to anyone of my family and friends. They are very knowledgable attentive to their clients and their needs. Tory most recently helped my 19 year old out of a jam and gave him a little sound advice that has, in turn, made him a little more aware of his (bad) driving habits.. So his dad and i were also grateful for that!

Brianne Besheer is the BEST! She is nice enough to make you smile and after that smile, mean enough to kick you out to show she means business. She is dedicated to her cases and it shows in her results. My case went from worst case scenario to a miracle. My advice is to stay out of trouble but if you must, go with the Rosenblum squad. Brianne is a no frills heavy hitter! You Rock Brianne!
Review
Greg Wittner was my attorney and he was beyond amazing! My case has been a mess since day one and has involved multiple states and through everything he was awesome! Even though my case involved 3 different states and I currently live in Florida he always made it easy to contact and communicate with through the whole process. He kept me in the loop every step of the way!! I should have been sentenced to 7 years but thankfully for his hard work I only got 5 years probation. Words can not express how truly grateful I am for him. He bent over backwards for me and I am blessed! -taylor ward
Review
TJ defended my brother. My brother was a very difficult client with prior felony convictions. He was facing 29 years in prison. He spent two and a half years behind bars fighting for his freedom. He was denied bond several times. The odds where completely stacked against him. I urged my brother to take a plea deal, because I didn't believe that his case was winnable. He's extremely stubborn, and insisted on moving forward, and going to trial. We hired TJ to take on the case. It's very difficult to find a lawyer that will go to Trial. It's even more difficult to find one that will work hard and win. That's exactly what TJ did. He worked hard, and he won. He's a winner. It's in his blood. You can feel it when you're around him. I've never seen an attorney work as hard as he did. He told me that he wouldn't bet agains himself in a trial, and he's going to fight like hell for my brother. TJ's a real life super attorney in my book. He knew exactly what to do, and how to do it. His defense was surgical. The jury deliberation was quick and simple. It felt great to hear the judge speak those magical words "Not guilty on all counts".
Review
Total waste of money. He lied to me up front as he was charging me tons of money, then he got me no better than what a public defender would have gotten and honestly he was worse than a public defender. He had one of his puppets, Brianne Besheer take my case even though I hired him. She couldn’t answer a single question without talking to Scott. She was rude, and always made you feel like you were bothering her. I will steer everyone I know away from this firm. Scott is no longer the best. He’s now in it for the money only, and could care less about winning or his clients. He’s a crook. St. Louis county has a 96% conviction rate, so save yourself some money and get a public defender. They do a better job than any attorney and they are free.

Mark (T.J.) Matthes represented my son in a criminal case. My son committed various felonies that could have resulted in considerable prison time for him. T.J. got my son into a diversion program through the Circuit Attorney’s office. My son went into the program and the requirements are to enter a guilty plea and complete several phases/levels of the program with signs of improvement (according to the rules) at the completion of each phase. In addition, the rules states continuous failure or noncompliance with the rules will result in expulsion from the diversion program and with the guilty plea; one would be sent straightaway to be sentenced. Absolutely, T.J.’s job was complete when my son entered into the diversion. Close to a year later in a program that should’ve taken eight months to complete my son was called to the CA’s office for an intervention. T.J. volunteered to participate in the meeting were concerns of my son’s mental health condition was a point of topic. (Thank you, T.J. for taking the time out of your schedule to attend the meeting at the CA’s office. Thank you!) During, that year while involved in the program we as his family sought-out behavioral health assistance from local hospitals for possible treatments; but with all the doctors first informing my son of his rights he simply would not follow through with any suggested counselling sessions and recommendations. After, the intervention and skipping forward seven months my son was re-arrested on additional charges. T.J. was contacted by the CA’s office for the second time simply because he was the attorney on file. When we talked T.J could have just said “seek other counsel” and would have been well within his rights and I would have understood completely. But, what did he say, “let me look into it.” I went personal with this post because my son received personal service from his attorney T.J. Matthes. I learned through this process how considerate, compassionate, and caring T.J. is as a person and as a lawyer. I know it may be hard for some reading this post to believe given the adjectives express in describing an attorney, but those adjectives enumerated are true! T.J.’s guiding principle is not the pursuit of some superficial aspiration, but by optimal outcomes for his clients and his love of the law. Furthermore, I’ve learned just how well known and respected he is by prosecutors and judges. I witness with my own eyes how he has the ears of Judges, Circuit Attorneys, and their Prosecutors. T.J.’s character and expertise as an attorney and the respect he has with those charged with given you prison time resulted in my son being diagnosed, having a treatment plan; receiving the much needed help he needs, and his plea of guilty removed and very possibly having all his charges dropped. This is not conventional; this does not happen but T.J. Matthes made it happen! My son could have fallen through the cracks of behavioral health bureaucracies locked away in prison getting unhealthier with his affliction of mental illness and lost to his love ones. However, due to T.J.’s tireless efforts my son has a future filled with possibilities and hope. I would recommend T.J. Matthes to anyone faced with criminal charges. As, I say “Your first defense is the quality of attorney you hire.” In T.J. you have the best they come. He puts the time in so that you don’t have to.

I came to Greg in the middle of a worldwide pandemic with quite the problem at hand. I trusted his glowing reviews and hired him, and it was undoubtedly the best legal decision I've ever made. Greg is well versed in the law and makes sure his clients are completely well informed about the processes and possible consequences of the legal system. If you're looking for the best representation in the area, you'll find it with Greg Smith. In addition, Greg is an all-around pleasant person and his personality on-the-job was just a cherry on top of a wonderful and efficient legal representation. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer, without question.
Review
My son made some bad decisions following the advice of some not so good friends and we found ourselves in need of a good lawyer. A college of my wife recommended Greg and it was the best decision we ever made. As a parent you always want to help your child in every situation. But during an overwhelmingly scary time when we did not know how to help, this man came through for us in an amazingly manor. His knowledge of the law is impressive, his ability to move throughout the legal system was so smooth and the amount of respect showed to him by everyone in the judicial system showed that he is an amazingly qualified lawyer and great person. He was always super prepared and he went over and above to help my son understand and feel comfortable in every situation. If you ever find yourself in need of lawyer, I strongly recommend Greg Smith and know that he will resolve your case to the best possible outcome. Matt Scheipeter

Greg Smith is the man. I could not find anyone willing to represent me on my probation revocation because it was a “lost cause”. Greg worked with me and went above and beyond and we ended up with a desirable outcome, the alternative wasn’t very good. Very professional yet down to earth. Do yourself a favor and hire Greg.
Review
Greg is amazing. Wonderful and empathetic human being. Listened to my case and my circumstances and got the job done. My family is forever thankful for your great work Greg!
Review
He is a walking miracle he works state and fed cases he is the best in the business trust me me Smith is also very professional and friendly we is well known and will do his best to bring you or your loved ones home if you reading this it’s no accident stop and give Greg a chance thank you

Steve Waterkotte helped me and my family get out of what we thought was an impossible situation. Not only did he get all charges dismissed but he did it for a fraction of what I thought I was going to have to pay. My family owes our future to him and we are so thankful!

Mick is a fantastic criminal defense attorney. I would say he is one of the best in St. Louis. He is a no nonsense attorney and will lead you in the direction for success with your case. He helped me with all the ins and outs and never sugarcoated anything for me. He got me the results I desired after having to take my matter to trial. I shopped around heavily for an attorney in St. Louis and Mick gave me the best bang for my buck with fantastic results. If you have any doubt just go see Mick and consult with Henderson & Waterkotte! Thank you very much Mick

Steve is amazing. Very much worth the money. He was confident even when I wasn’t. It has been a very long year but I am blessed and happy to say that my husband is home and NOT in prison! Thanks again.

Attorney Steve has been EXCEPTIONAL!!! He has been SINCERE, GENUINE, HONEST & VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. He helped us through some of the toughest times that we've ever ENDURED & got us the BEST outcome, even better than expected. He is also a WONDERFUL family man & very hands-on & involved with his children (Note: There has been times that we could literally hear his children in the background, but he still took time to tend to our call & even on snow days like today & he had to make arrangements for his children in order to show up & he did), which says A LOT. It also gives him the ability to understand firsthand what it means to LOVE & SUPPORT your children. Thank you Attorney Steve for all of the help you PROVIDED to me, my son & family!!! Also, shout out to Rachael as well. ???? THANK YOU! GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! ????????
