Founded by attorney Lorri Elisabeth Kline, a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Law with over 35 years of legal practice, the firm pairs the trial skill of a large practice with the attentive service of a boutique firm.

Comprehensive Divorce, Child Custody, and Support Advocacy

Marital dissolution involves difficult financial decisions and sensitive negotiations over parenting schedules. Serving as skilled divorce lawyers, child custody lawyers, and child support lawyers, the practice guides clients through contested divorces, amicable separations, paternity actions, and child support modifications under Missouri Form 14. The firm prioritizes the well-being of minor children while safeguarding client assets, marital property rights, and spousal maintenance. Whether advocating in court or negotiating settlements, attorney Lorri Kline protects client rights and family stability.

Qualified Family Mediation and Dispute Resolution

Litigation often increases hostility and drains household finances, especially when children are involved. As an approved family mediator certified through MARCH (Mediation Achieving Results for Children), attorney Lorri Kline helps parents reach practical agreements outside the courtroom. Mediation offers a confidential setting where spouses can resolve property division, visitation schedules, and holiday parenting plans collaboratively. Choosing mediation reduces legal expenses and establishes workable parenting plans.

Missouri Adoptions, Guardianships, and Family Care

Welcoming a child or establishing legal guardianship requires strict adherence to Missouri statutes. Functioning as knowledgeable adoption lawyers, the firm facilitates stepparent adoptions, grandparent adoptions, and private placements. The practice also assists families with legal guardianships for minors or incapacitated adults, ensuring vulnerable relatives receive responsible protection.
