The Schnaare Law Firm, PC
Hillsboro Probate/Wills & Estates Lawyer
Overview
I have been a practicing attorney since June 4, 1979. During that period of time, I have practiced in all areas of the law, except federal taxation. I’ve handled criminal misdemeanors and felonies. I’ve conducted civil litigation, prepared wills, filed estates, drafted contracts, acted as a mediator, acted as guardian ad litem, conducted discovery, prepared for trial, conducted trials, filed appeals before the Eastern District Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri. I have handled administrative appeals before the Social Security Administration and state administrative agencies. I have presented for zoning hearings and filed the appeal from those zoning hearings.
Literally, there is virtually nothing that I haven’t done in the practice of law at one time or another in the last 38 years.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
