The corridor between
Olive and the lab.
Creve Coeur is the corporate spine of central St. Louis County — Bayer, Pfizer’s Confident Care campus, Express Scripts up the road, and the Olive Boulevard restaurant rows in between. Most Creve Coeur calls we get reflect that mix: workplace injury from the corporate campuses, CDL violations from delivery drivers serving them, DWI cases that begin at an Olive-corridor dinner, and estate planning for households whose net worth is heavily in retirement accounts.
Fifteen minutes north,
if traffic cooperates.
From the Olive-Lindbergh intersection, our Florissant office is about fifteen minutes north on Lindbergh and Highway 67. Creve Coeur clients more often want us to come to their workplace or home for the first meeting, which we do — we have signed wills in the lobby of more than one corporate campus. The whole engagement can also be handled remotely if that is easier. Hablamos español when needed.
Three courts,
three calendars.
Three courts decide Creve Coeur matters — the city's bench on Olive plus the county Circuit and Probate divisions about fifteen minutes south on I-170.
Creve Coeur Municipal Court
Creve Coeur Government Center · Olive Blvd · Creve Coeur, MO
Ordinance violations, traffic citations from the Olive corridor and Lindbergh, and routine speeding and careless-driving matters that come out of the city.
St. Louis County Circuit Court
105 S. Central Ave · Clayton, MO 63105
Creve Coeur felony, divorce, civil, and probate matters. About fifteen minutes south by I-170.
St. Louis County Probate Division
105 S. Central Ave · Clayton, MO 63105
Trust-funded estates often skip probate entirely, which is why so many of the estate plans we draft for Creve Coeur households use revocable living trusts.
Workers’ compensation administrative hearings, by contrast, happen at the Missouri Division of Workers’ Compensation office in St. Louis — not at the Circuit Court.

Why Creve Coeur work
looks different.
Creve Coeur’s population is right around 18,000, but the daytime population at the corporate and biotech campuses is far higher — tens of thousands of employees moving through the Olive-Lindbergh corridor every weekday. That density shapes the cases. Workplace injury claims here are not the construction-site cases of north county; they are repetitive-stress, lab-exposure, lifting, and the auto accidents that happen on the way to and from work. Workers’ comp interacts with employer-provided long-term disability, with FMLA leave, and with benefit elections in ways that require careful sequencing. We talk through that order of operations at the first meeting.
On the DWI side, Creve Coeur arrests often come out of stops along Olive after a corporate dinner or a stop at one of the restaurant rows near 270 and Olive. The 15-day administrative license rule is the same as anywhere else in Missouri, but for executives whose driving privileges are operationally critical, the administrative case often matters as much as the criminal one. Hablamos español for clients who prefer Spanish.
First-call questions for Creve Coeur clients: who employed you at the time of the incident (the campus name and the legal entity behind it can differ), what the company’s benefit structure looks like (short-term disability, long-term disability, FMLA), and whether you have notified anyone in writing. Workplace cases turn on early documentation; we walk through that at the first conversation.
Creve Coeur cases sit at the intersection of corporate life and personal-stakes law. The two sides have to be handled together, not in sequence.
Creve Coeur legal FAQ —
straight answers.
The questions Creve Coeur residents and businesses ask most often. General information; specific facts always change the analysis.
What court handles felony cases for Creve Coeur residents?
Felony charges originating in Creve Coeur are filed in the St. Louis County Circuit Court at 105 South Central Avenue, Clayton. Initial appearances, preliminary hearings, and bond review are heard there before the case is assigned to a trial division. We appear in St. Louis County regularly.
Where is Creve Coeur’s municipal court located?
The Creve Coeur Municipal Court at City Hall handles ordinance violations. Speeding citations, careless-and-imprudent tickets, accident citations, and minor ordinance matters are heard there rather than at the St. Louis County Circuit Court.
How far is your office from Creve Coeur?
Our office at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4 in Florissant is about 20 minutes southwest of Florissant via I-270. Many Creve Coeur clients meet us in person; others handle the entire matter by phone and video, with in-home signings available for estate planning.
What is a Missouri beneficiary deed?
A beneficiary deed under RSMo §461.025 lets a Missouri homeowner name who receives the property on death, outside probate. It is one of the most cost-effective planning tools available and is signed and recorded with the recorder of deeds.
Does my Creve Coeur home have to go through probate?
Not if it is properly titled — joint tenancy, trust ownership, or a recorded beneficiary deed all keep the home out of probate. We review the deed at the first meeting and recommend the smallest plan that achieves the goal.
