The town,
in context.
Black Jack is a residential St. Louis County suburb that has historically been one of the more stable in north county. The city's population sits around 7,000, with high home ownership and long tenure. The city was the subject of a landmark 1971 federal housing case that helped shape modern fair-housing law.
For Black Jack clients, the most common case categories are estate planning (tied to the high rate of long-tenured homeowners), traffic and DWI matters from the surrounding road network, and personal injury cases from the I-270 corridor at the city's southern edge.
Same neighborhood, same lawyer, since 1979. That continuity is the whole reason this firm has stayed where it is.
Black Jack legal FAQ —
straight answers.
The questions Black Jack residents and businesses ask most often. General information; specific facts always change the analysis.
What court handles felony cases for Black Jack residents?
Felony charges originating in Black Jack 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 Black Jack’s municipal court located?
The Black Jack 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 Black Jack?
Our office at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4 in Florissant is about 10 minutes north of Florissant via U.S. 67. Many Black Jack 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 Black Jack 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.
