Divorce
Someone who decides to end a relationship with a spouse often faces a great deal of stress and uncertainty, whether emotionally, financially, or otherwise. I can help because I understand.
I am Jackie Gonz, an experienced family law attorney with offices in St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Crystal City, and Sunset Hills. I represent clients all over southeast Missouri.
Each divorce case is unique and personal, but there are generally three categories. I am experienced and prepared to assist you in all components of your case, whether it be:
Uncontested Divorce
If all the terms of a divorce are agreed upon by you and your spouse, including division of marital assets/debts, this is an uncontested divorce. This category primarily involves paperwork, but it is important to have an experienced, thorough lawyer to help you through the process. Trying to do it yourself to save money can cost you more in the long run as well as result in mistakes that can’t be fixed. There is no such thing as a DIY divorce. Before filing on your own, reach out to me for a free consultation.
“Was very informative and did everything she could do to get me what I wanted and deserved with my divorce. Her staff was always very professional, friendly, greeted me with a smile when I came into the office, always returned my call or emails within 24hrs. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone that could use a lawyer for anything she can help them with.”
– Alex M.
Settlement Negotiations
It is likely that you and your spouse probably do not see everything the same way. You might not agree on who will keep the house, potential spousal maintenance (alimony), child custody, or many other things. I know how to help my clients protect their interests and rights, and my excellent negotiating skills result in favorable settlements. I also, however, know when negotiations must stop and courtroom litigation must begin.
“Jackie is a really great attorney she is personable and takes the time to get to know you. It’s not very often you get individualised service from an attorney and I can gladly say this was an exception to that thought. I would greatly recommend!“
– Amber D.
Courtroom Litigation
It is impossible to negotiate many issues surrounding divorce, so I am always prepared to fight for my clients’ interests in court if needed. Due to my extensive experience working with courts in Ste. Genevieve, Perry, St. Francois, and Jefferson counties, as well as surrounding areas, I know how to protect and fight for my clients. I take only cases I am passionate about and ready to fight for. No lawyer can guarantee results, but I always promise dedication, preparation, and optimism.
“Jackie is beyond amazing! She was exactly the person I needed to fight for me in an ugly divorce. Jackie is honest and straightforward, which is one of the things I love most about her. She won’t tell you what you want to hear, she tells you the truth. After just a couple of meetings with her I stopped worrying about my situation bc I knew she was looking out for me and fighting for me as if I were a family member of hers. I knew she had my back. There are times Jackie works on Saturdays to see her clients when she’s extremely busy. She always returns phone calls and emails. I’ve referred many people to Jackie and they all love her as much as I do!“

“Jackie was an absolute god send. I had so much anxiety with my case and Jackie took it all away. She told me to trust her and boy was she ever right. I could not have more thankful to have her on my side. Even my family told me they loved her when the case was done. My dad told me to give her a huge hug from him. Jackie was so aggressive and knowledgeable. She was a great white when it came to handling things from the start until our opposition dropped the case. I wish I had a copy of the deposition audio. It was a work of art. I would hire Jackie anytime. It was SO worth the money. I really do owe Jackie with my life. I trusted her with the most important and valuable assets in my life; my children. She’s delivered in every way. Thank you Jackie. You both saved and changed my life forever. I’ll never forget it!”
