Terry L Kaufman
Your objectives and positive case outcome are my priority. For more than 25 years, I have represented individuals in criminal, family, traffic and probate matters. I represent each case individually - it will not be passed on to an inexperienced associate. Your legal success is my number one priority.

Terry was very well informed and gave tremendous insight. He listened to me and helped me to come out ahead in my case. Unlike other attorneys I had used in the past, Terry made himself available whenever I needed counsel. I would recommend Terry Kaufman. Sound legal advice is based on years of training and experience, as well as familiarity with legislation and precedent.
Services
If you and your spouse can work out a reasonable agreement, you can save a lot of time, expense, and stress versus a traditional adversarial approach. I am a life-long resident of the St. Louis metro area and I have more than 25 years of relevant experience helping local clients with their family, criminal, probate and traffic matters.
My fee includes the time I anticipate that I will need to take your case from start to finish. It is not my role to help you work out the terms of your uncontested divorce with your spouse, as I cannot represent both parties. My role is simply to provide legal advice to you and to facilitate your divorce along the terms agreed upon between you and your spouse.
Last Will(s) & Testament (w/o a testamentary trust), Health Care Declaration(s) (living will) and medical and financial Durable Power(s) of Attorney. Pour-Over Will(s), a Revocable Trust, Health Care Declaration(s) (living will) and medical and financial Durable Power(s) of attorney. Don't want or need a whole estate planning package?
I represent felony and misdemeanor cases at both the municipal and circuit (state) level. This encompasses a wide assortment of charged offenses too numerous to list, with varying degrees of potential fines and incarceration. I also represent clients facing probation revocation.

I have represented many clients with criminal charges throughout Missouri since becoming a lawyer more than 25 years ago at the municipal, circuit (state), and federal levels.Having seen so many cases, I can provided informed and insightful advice relevant to your case. I am a local attorney with ample actual experience with your type of charges in the court that your case has been filed.
This question is best answered on a case by case basis, as there are several factors to be considered. You can lose your license for a much longer period of time should you refuse to submit to the breathalyzer, however, there are remedies available at the circuit court for first-time offenders. I would be happy to answer your questions regarding this scenario.

Terry Kaufman helped my elderly father prepare a will to make his final financial arrangements. He and his paralegal, Shawna, were patient and kind to my father. They answered all of his questions and helped him to be comfortable. Prior to his passing, he told me how much he appreciated their professionalism and felt they truly cared about him. I highly recommend Terry Kaufman for legal services.

If I had continued using Terry as my attorney I would have paid my ex-wife double what I did with another attorney. I rarely felt like Terry was representing me over his own desire to get the case over with. Terry's paralegal Shauna was very solid and quite honestly was the only one I was comfortable with and felt like cared about my future and well-being. Avoid Terry Kaufman.

I used Terry Kaufman, for a uncontested divorce that had some murky areas legally for an uncontested divorce. Shonna( Terry's paralegal) helped me with a lot of questions. She was invaluable in helping me gather what I needed for the case. I would recommend Terry for anyone's divorce case. They are priced very well. I think Shonna made this case a lot less stressful.
