Counsel along
Page Avenue.
Overland is the kind of inner-ring suburb that does not get talked about much — modest single-family homes, working-class households, the Page Avenue commercial corridor running through the center, and the steady industrial and service-economy work that has anchored the city for decades. The cases that come from Overland are practical: the speeding ticket on Page that affects a CDL, the personal injury claim from a car that was the family’s only one, the estate plan that has to work for a household where the home is the largest asset by far.
Twenty minutes north,
on a routine day.
From central Overland, our Florissant office is about twenty minutes north — Page Avenue to I-170, then up to Highway 67. Most Overland clients handle the early conversations by phone, with one in-person meeting if it helps the case. We come to Overland for home signings and for court appearances when those serve the matter. Hablamos español.
Two courts,
two purposes.
Two courts decide Overland matters — the city's bench on Lackland Road plus the county Circuit and Probate divisions about fifteen minutes south on I-170. CDL holders watch the municipal docket carefully.
Overland Municipal Court
9119 Lackland Road · Overland, MO 63114
Ordinance violations, the speeding tickets from Page Avenue and the surrounding network, careless-driving citations, and minor misdemeanors. CDL holders living in Overland often come to us first because a Page Avenue ticket can affect the commercial license.
St. Louis County Circuit Court
105 S. Central Ave · Clayton, MO 63105
Overland felony charges, dissolution proceedings, contested civil matters, and probate cases. About fifteen minutes south on I-170.
St. Louis County Probate Division
105 S. Central Ave · Clayton, MO 63105
For most Overland estates we use informal administration; Missouri small-estate procedures (under the statutory threshold) sometimes apply and avoid full probate entirely.

Why case selection
matters here.
Overland’s population is around 16,000, with a median household income below the St. Louis County average. The legal work that comes from Overland is shaped by that reality. A traffic ticket that costs a CDL is not a minor matter for an Overland family; it is a job. A personal injury claim where the at-fault driver carries the Missouri minimum policy limit ($25K per person) and the injured Overland resident has a part-time job, no health insurance, and a single household vehicle requires careful sequencing of medical care, lien negotiation, and recovery to net the client a meaningful amount. We take these cases seriously and do not treat them as small.
On the estate side, Overland households often have a primary residence as the dominant asset, sometimes a small life insurance policy, and a checking account. The Missouri beneficiary deed (cost: a few hundred dollars to draft and record) keeps the home outside of probate, which can save the family the cost and delay of administration entirely. We recommend it for nearly every Overland homeowner who walks in without one. Hablamos español for clients who prefer Spanish.
First-call questions from Overland: for the working family with a single household vehicle, what the impact of license suspension or vehicle loss would be on the household, whether the at-fault driver carries insurance at all, and whether you have UM coverage of your own. We run the practical math — not just the legal analysis — before we recommend a path.
Most Overland cases turn on the practical math — what nets the client the most after costs, after liens, after the unavoidable expenses. We run those numbers honestly at the first meeting.
Overland legal FAQ —
straight answers.
The questions Overland residents and businesses ask most often. General information; specific facts always change the analysis.
What court handles felony cases for Overland residents?
Felony charges originating in Overland 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 Overland’s municipal court located?
The Overland 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 Overland?
Our office at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4 in Florissant is about 18 minutes south of Florissant via I-170. Many Overland clients meet us in person; others handle the entire matter by phone and video, with in-home signings available for estate planning.
What does a Missouri speeding ticket cost in license points?
Most speeding tickets in Missouri add 2 to 3 points to your license depending on the road type and speed over the limit (RSMo §302.302). Eight points in 18 months triggers a suspension. We typically negotiate a point-free disposition.
I have a CDL — does a non-moving ordinance still protect me?
Federal CDL rules (49 CFR §383.5) restrict the use of certain ordinance dispositions to mask moving violations. We handle CDL cases differently and aim for a true non-moving outcome rather than a masking arrangement.
