To the Law Office of Melissa Harper
Offering clients strong advocacy with personal service.
Affordable Representation
As a strong believer in equal access to justice, I work with clients to keep costs down and offer a variety of payment options to get you the lawyer that you need to protect what’s important to you.
Experienced Lawyer
Work with a St Louis lawyer who has first chair experience. I have conducted jury trials, bench trials, hearings in both civil and criminal courts, and have been the lead on over a thousand cases in my career.
Divorce
Whether it is contested and complicated or uncontested and simple, you need an experienced Attorney to protect your interests. Make sure you have an advocate during such an emotionally difficult time. I offer flat fees for uncontested divorces and payment plans for both.
Child Support, Custody & Visitation
I help clients with child issues ranging from establishing paternity, support and visitation, to modifying previous orders. Do you need a memorialized agreement? Is your old agreement out of date and unworkable? Is your support amount unsustainable? Don’t sit on your situation and let it get worse. Take action by contacting my office to see how I can help.
Criminal Law
As a former Public Defender, I believe in equal access to justice. Don’t navigate the criminal courts alone- hire a strong litigator to defend your freedom and interests. Think you can’t afford private counsel? Think again.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS OFFICE?
I strive to create an easier experience for my clients.
I accept cases in the greater metropolitan St Louis area and operate with these basic office philosophies:
