Who We Are
Marler Law Partners provides cutting-edge, trauma-informed legal services with a person-centered approach. Based in St. Louis, we focus on family law through a multi-faceted model, including traditional court, collaborative practice, and mediation, all designed to minimize the traumatic impact that litigation can have on our clients and their families. We also represent licensed professionals who are subpoenaed to provide testimony or records within the scope of their work in family law matters. We are forward-thinking team players, passionate about our work, and committed to our vision.
We are a close-knit group, and we pride ourselves on a workplace where we support one another through challenges and share in each other's successes. We believe a rich personal life enhances professional success.
