Personal Injury - Securities Fraud and Broker Negligence - Estate Planning
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the law firm of DeVoto & Benbenek provides strong representation and attentive counsel in these areas of practice:
- Personal Injury
Our law firm is known for resolving difficult and complex personal injury cases with a particular focus on cases involving product liability, including cars, medical products and devices, amusement rides, tools and construction equipment, farm equipment, coffee pots, and other defective or dangerous consumer products. We handle premises liability cases involving dog bites and slip and falls, and we assist people injured in auto, truck, and motorcycle accidents. We counsel clients on workers' compensation, and we select cases involving medical malpractice and wrongful death with careful compassion.
- Securities Fraud and Broker Negligence
Our law firm helps clients hold their investment company or securities broker responsible for fraud and negligence. Our lawyers have experience in cases involving brokers who misunderstand or misrepresent their client's risk tolerance. Were you ready to retire and wiped out by volatile tech stocks when you should have held relatively risk-free bonds? Did your broker eat into your investment earnings by churning your portfolio in search of commission fees? If your investment portfolio has suffered a decline due to bad advice or illegal broker behavior, we can help in cases involving brokerage fraud, investment negligence, and securities negligence.
- Estate Planning and Probate
Our estate planning attorneys counsel clients on ways to ensure a seamless transfer of their assets to survivors in accordance with their last wishes, and with minimal tax consequences. Our lawyers will take the time to explain your estate planning options, including wills, living wills, trusts, corporate trusts, and living trusts. Our law firm also helps people plan proactively to assign key financial and medical decisions to others through powers of attorney and medical directives. Our probate and estate administration attorneys assist in administering the decedent's estate, including settling debts, transferring titles, distributing property, and resolving will contests.
