MAXIMIZING THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS™

Practice Areas

What we can do for you

Business Law

We believe a team approach is the best way to meet your goals while controlling legal costs. Our attorney team includes several partners holding accounting, tax and finance degrees in addition to their law degrees and who have operated businesses. This business and accounting experience informs us of all potential solutions.

Trust & Estate Law

We begin with a meeting with you in a place that is convenient for you which may be our office, your home or some other location of mutual choice. We explore and discuss your desires and needs in language you understand. You are invited to bring as much or as little information concerning your assets, obligations, future plans and desires as you wish.

Family Law

In divorce cases involving high assets and/or a family business, Uthoff, Graeber, Bobinette & Blanke brings attorneys from within the Firm to the table who have accounting, tax and finance backgrounds. In addition, you and your attorneys may determine to incorporate the work of valuation experts to resolve matters.

Civil Litigation

Our civil litigation and appeal legal work generally covers all areas of laws in the U.S. Proficiency comes largely through the careful preparation of cases for trial and appeal, and from experience presenting strong cases in court.

Employment Law

At the Missouri law firm of Uthoff, Graeber, Bobinette & Blanke, we have provided effective employment law legal services to employees and employers for more than four decades. Contact our St. Louis office to schedule a consultation regarding your employment law matter.

Criminal Defense

At the St. Louis Law Firm of Uthoff, Graeber, Bobinette & Blanke (UGBB) our attorneys possess the experience and resources necessary to attend to criminal legal matters, regardless of the stage of prosecution or the complexity.

Tax appeals

Property tax, sales and use tax, and myriad other state and local levies all fall under the heading of state and local tax (“SALT”). Many companies face complicated, inconsistent and constantly changing compliance issues in multiple jurisdictions. Tax laws can be vague and difficult to understand — particularly without the benefit of specialists on staff.

Injury Law

When you have been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident or on property that was unreasonably dangerous or by a defective product, how do you make sure you will have the money you need to make up for lost income and to pay for medical care? When you are injured at work, or face a work-related disability, what can you do to ensure you’ll receive the workers’ compensation you need and deserve.

Real Estate Law

In real estate law, a small error can bring large and expensive problems. A poorly executed commercial lease can leave the renter responsible for expensive repairs. A poorly negotiated commercial lease can cost owners thousands of dollars each month. And title errors can lead to expensive title disputes — even the loss of real property.

About Us

WE UTILIZE THE BEST APPROACH TO THE PRACTICE OF LAW AND MAXIMIZE THE POWER OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS

A caring, helpful approach to legal services is worth little when your lawyer doesn’t possess the skills and hands-on experience to resolve your legal problem. And the likelihood of having your legal challenge resolved successfully, quickly and cost-effectively is significantly diminished when your attorney fails to incorporate your input, answer your questions along the way and put you at ease.
