At The Law Office of Cathy Steele, P.C., located in Clayton, Missouri, we understand your need for efficient, effective, and personalized legal advice and representation tailored to your unique needs from an experienced lawyer you can trust.  With over 20 years of experience, Cathy Steele is a skilled negotiator, mediator, and trial lawyer offering flexible and practical counsel – in and out of court.  Our practice areas include:    

Family Law – including seasoned counsel for issues involving divorce, separation, child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support (alimony), premarital agreements, adoption, paternity, and more.  

Divorce Mediation  – attorney Cathy Steele is a trained mediator with over 10 years of experience representing clients in divorce mediation, an out-of-court process that is typically more collaborative, less adversarial, and less expensive.

Real Estate Tax Appeals – When a property is overvalued, we represent clients before the Board of Equalization and the Missouri State Tax Commission to appeal the fair market value of the real property as determined by the assessor. The goal is to achieve a reduction in the assessed value and thereby decrease the real estate taxes.  We have established a strong reputation and a record of success in commercial and homeowner tax appeals. 

Employment Law – Employment law covers a complex network of laws that control how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. We have extensive experience representing and advising both employees and employers in a variety of employment disputes and in interpreting and construing state and Federal statutes and case law in areas such as sexual harassment, severance packages, and federal employee issues. 

Wills and Trusts – We provide skilled estate planning counsel for clients planning for the future, taking into account wills, taxes, insurance, property, and trusts so as to gain the maximum benefit of all laws, while carrying out the person's wishes.

Business and Commercial Law – We provide a wide variety of services to our business clients – from assisting in selecting the type of organizational entity under which to operate, preparation of agreements, sale and purchase of businesses, obtaining financing and funding for business operations, and employment disputes and employee relations, to dissolution.

Corporate Law – The form of business chosen for a business entity potentially affects every aspect of its operations. We assist our clients with formation and business planning to help them determine the appropriate business form (including closely held businesses, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and corporations) for their enterprise. We advise our clients about directors' and officers' liability, dissolution, franchising, reorganization, trade association membership and activity, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, business succession, and shareholders' rights.
