Going through a divorce is awful, and I'm so glad I chose Bardol Law to help me through it. I felt supported and welcomed by everyone in the office. Steve set realistic expectations and always knew what was happening and how to answer my questions. Great job Steve, I will highly recommend you to anyone needing a divorce attorney!

Steve Bardol and his team did a great job handling my case. I had an unusual case and he was able to answer every question and concern I had going through this. Even being states away while he took care of this. He made me feel like my case wasn't just another case. He responded to every phone call and email with great urgency. Gave me breakdowns of how my money was being spent on my case. Didn't waste any of my time and was really compassionate about my situation. I can not thank him enough for all he has done for me. My son is my everything. I highly recommend him and his lawfirm. I called a lot of lawyers before I had made my final decision on who I wanted to protect my family. I am beyond blessed to have come across him and his team. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Very kind and helpful team. Mr. Bardol is great and knowledgeable. Thank you Bardol Law!

Steve and his staff at Bardol Law Firm are great! Finding an attorney who is as genuine and makes you feel like a priority, yet professional, practical, and straightforward is nearly impossible, but Bardol Law Firm has all of these great traits and many more. After working with Steve I know I will never use any one else with my family law needs. Steve and his office are great at communicating with you what is going on, they are very prompt, and they go out and get things done that need to be taken care of. I cannot speak more highly of the Bardol Law Firm!

Stephen Bardol is great! I highly suggest his law firm! He handled my traffic tickle in such a timely matter! Great communication and very professional! Highly highly recommended!!

I used Mr. Bardol's services within the last couple of months. He was quick to return my phone calls and was available when I needed him. I felt like he made me a priority when I know he had multiple of other cases he was handling. I never felt like just a number, but he was genuinely concerned with helping me with my case. I would recommend his services to any of my friends or family.

Great law firm. Super helpful with free consultation

Steve recently helped me with the Petition for Full Custody case I filed over a year and a half ago. I had initially contracted with a different firm and the experience was exhausting and very stressful at a time that was already difficult enough. The process had been prolonged for a long time and my previous lawyer had not made any real progress on the case, promising a lot of things that never materialized. It became very stressful for me and it was a financial burden.

I cannot say enough good things about Steve Bardol and his staff. They were practical and straightforward throughout the entire process. Steve never made impractical promises and was clear with me about the steps forward and what I could expect. I feel very grateful for his work on our case and I would recommend him to anyone. The well-being of my child is the most important thing to me. Steve and his team, Julie and Katy, were concerned, detail oriented and followed through. I cannot ask more from them and will be eternally grateful for their help in this process.

Katie Gannon handled my case from my initial phone call to the closing. She is very professional and listened to my wishes. She approached every decision with my best interest in mind and handled every question I asked with confidence and clarity.
I was not worried about her being where I needed her and on time, every time. I highly recommend this firm. Also in the beginning, she told me she would not do unnecessary things to drive my cost up and I believe she absolutely kept her word in those matters. My case was not an ordinary one and it was handled with respect to myself and opposing attorneys and judge.
Thank you, Katie and Steve for a reliable service in a very stressful time. Jeff W.

Steve was a great help! Highly recommend his law firm!

I called Steve for some advice and he guided me in the right direction and reassured me he was there if I needed him!!

Steve and Katie were awesome to work with and always responsive to my questions. They promptly addressed any concerns, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

I was referred to Steve by a mutual friend. I have always trusted this friends suggestions, but I feel he missed the mark on this one. I also know that he will not be happy with me for leaving this post. Although I don't blame him one bit, but rather Steve. Steve is not a person anyone would want in their corner. Divorce is such a scary and stressful time. Its a time when you're going to want someone with knowledge and confidence. I'm afraid Steve does not have the later. He may have the knowledge, but getting him to explain it to you is a apparently a privilege and not to be expected despite the fees he charges.

Working with Steve was daunting. He does not explain things or help you feel more comfortable. He did not show for several of the court appearances, but instead sent one of his assistance. If he had given me some notice maybe I would not have been so upset. All I wanted was someone to understand my case the way that I did. This felt very much like being a number. When we met with my wife and her attorney, he let me and her attorney do most of the talking. I felt very alone.

After 9 months into the divorce I spoke with Steve about how I did not feel my case was getting enough attention. He was sending his assistant to court appearances. When I tried to call him it would take a couple weeks and several follow ups to get him on the phone. The worst part, when I told him I didn't think my case was getting enough attention, he said with no hesitation, "I manage a high caseload, you're free to find someone else." Ouch that hurt. If I hadn't given him so much money already, wasn't so desperate to get the divorce over with I would have. We had been "close" to settling for a while and all I wanted was to settle.

I chose him because a friend referred me and he was cheaper, but that was a big mistake. Go with someone that makes you feel confident.

Very professional, clean, and very good attorney. Give Stephen Bardol a shot if you need a family law attorney.

Steve did a wonderful job with my custody case.

Steve came highly recommended by a very trusted friend of mine and he did not let me down. He handled my restraining order case with ease, and he always had my best interest in mind-financially as well as personally. Steve really knows his stuff and was always happy to answer my many questions whenever I had them. I highly recommend him to anyone needing family law help. He will take care of you! Thanks Steve!

July 3rd 2019 we completed adoption ! I’m satisfied!

Steve is a great attorney, highly recommended.

Hopefully I won't get a second divorce but I would definitely use this law firm again. They are kind, courteous, patient, and understanding. Thank you to Steve for representing me in my case. And thanks again for everything.

Stephen Bardol is one of the finest family law attorneys in the Midwest. I've worked with many lawyers in STL and Bardol produces better results and can give excellent referrals when needed as well.

Stephen and his team are exceptional at what they do. There was never a moment where I doubted whether or not I made the right decision.

The process with my divorce went fairly quickly. Steve was great with communication and explaining everything to me. He also made sure he answered any questions I had during the process promptly and thoroughly. He would always proceed with things the way I was comfortable with. I would highly recommend him.

I hired Steve to help with my custody and child support case to which I was getting royaly screwed over by my ex. Steve took control of the case and was on time and professional with each court date (unlike my ex wife's attorney who was supposedly very expensive and caused the court case do drag just to rack up the bill). The end result turned out better than I expected with the situation that I was facing though. I now have partial custody again with my daughters and we communicate regularly, (My ex would not let me see or talk to them at all). The child support was also lowered to a reasonable amount compared to before and backdated to the date when we filed. Steve's hourly rate was pretty reasonable and he worked out a payment plan for the amount that went over the retainer. Steve is very knowledgeable of the court system and will give you a good idea early on of the outcome that you can expect. If I ever have another custody issue I would use Steve again.

Thankful to have choosen the highly recommended Bardol Law FIrm. I recieved sound advice and support throughout the Divorce and Child Custody situation. If you need honesty, pick Bardol Law Firm

I have been utilizing Steve and Bardol Law Firm for over three years now through multiple divorce and child custody issues. Steve and his staff are always attentive, professional, knowledgeable and straight forward. He knows how to navigate the court systems and gets you what you ask for without wasting time.

I cannot say enough good things about Steve. He handled my divorce and a custody issue with absolute ease. The fact that my divorce was far from an easy case made this all the better. He was there to answer every question I had and was always upfront on what I should expect from the process. He doesn't waste your time either. Every conversation is done quickly but is never rushed. He takes the time to listen and is able to provide answers immediately. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone honest, thorough, and respectful to your needs.

Stephen Bardot is a great lawyer, he kept his word and is very affordable. I would definitely recommend him as one of the best attorneys in St. Louis. He handled my child custody and support case in St Louis City.

If dealing with parental alienation, read on-
Steve, as a good attorney, knows how a case will likely turn out. He can most likely call it from the get go, because he is, indeed, sharp. Steve, as a bad attorney, will give you this information after a year in court with no changes and several thousand dollars later along with MUCH emotional toll. He returned some of my fees as a reward for giving up the fight, but in the end, I paid for nothing.
My son was a tender 14 when 'dad' remarried and determined to erase my existence in my son's life with a fake narrative, only to get for himself legal permission to eliminate child support. By the way, dad is a multi-millionaire. Steve revealed to me that he wouldn't have many custody battles if it weren't for men remarrying. Dad never tried for custody when there were four minor children! He had vacation 50% of the time.
My case was a glaringly obvious case of parental alienation and manipulation of the mind of my son through bribery. Dad did his homework and discovered that odds are judges don't stand behind their 50/50 orders when a child reaches adolescence. He was right. Seems that every one knew this but me. I expected a judge to enforce her orders. So, even though my son was getting in trouble. missing school, getting involved in drugs, vandalizing property, sneaking out at night, all the while dad was violating our child custody agreement on every front, physically and legally. Obviously, he needed his mother! It became increasingly clear to me that every one on my case, including the GAL, ESPECIALLY the GAL, Mark Keisewetter, was biding their time to let my son 'age out'. Mark even gave my son the line, "Who is going to make you do anything you don't want to do?" undermining my parental role.
Bottom line, if your case is one of parental alienation, Steve will site it, but won't fight it. But to his defense, good luck finding one who will, because the system won't bother themselves. The pat comfort line is, "He will probably show up on your doorstep one day." In the meantime, you miss the memories, the life lessons you had to teach them and mostly, your child. Yes. An adolescent is still a growing child. Having them choose between parents is brutality and abuse allowed by a system that are working for PROFIT. Plain and simple.

From the minute my husband and I walked in to Steve Bardol's office to talk about a difficult family matter, we felt like old friends. Steve and his staff helped navigate us through a tough decision with so much knowledge and compassion. I emailed and called paralegal Julie wirh my concerns and she was so reassuring and wonderful. She and Steve were quick to qualm my fears and answer all my questions, no matter how silly they were. Jared was amazing through the court process and really made us feel comfortable with his knowledge and how he understood how important this was to us. Steve will be the only attorney I call in the future. They honestly could not have handled this case any better than they did! I feel like they are my friends now!!

My case was handed to him after my original lawyer left this particular office and i would not recommend Mr.Bardol because instead of any kind of help he dropped my case because i called every day wondering what is going to be done about me seeing my daughter. Now anyone can say they are a great person and I know this, but when it comes to me im a single father, working and going to college pretty much 7 days a week and just want to have my daughter 50 50 like the paperwork from this lawfirm states and was awarded by the supreme court.
I absolutely do not get my daughter or get to speak to my daughter on Signed given times agreed by mother, her lawyer and my lawyer (Mr.Bardol) so since I... "Annoyed his firm".. because im a loving father who absolutely loves his little girl and just wants what was agreed upon by everyone in this petition he just up and said "Il no longer be assisting you" and also " Im withdrawing from this case". Please anyone who reads this just know im now paying ANOTHER attorney to help me because mother is absolutely in contempt of our written contract. Hope no one ever has to go through this struggle of actually being in the best way i can a FATHER that just wants to be apart of his angels life.

So happy to be able to move on to the next chapter of my life thanks to Steve and his team. From the first meeting, I felt confident in the firm and their ability to handle my case. Steve was straight-forward and thorough, giving me realistic expectations for the outcome of my case. My emails and phone calls were returned promptly, my questions were always answered clearly, and everything I needed to know throughout the process was communicated to me. They provided just the right amount of information--enough that I always knew and trusted what was going on, but not so much that I became more overwhelmed with an already-stressful situation. Compared to the other firm I met with, Steve's services were also the more affordable option.

Very happy with the outcome of my case and my choice to have Steve represent me. I hope to never need legal services again, but if I do, I won't hesitate to call Bardol Law.

He takes care of business and anything he is unsure of he will refer you to another lawyer.

Katie and Steve were extremely professional and quick to respond to my incessant inquiries. Katie always explained everything thoroughly and made me comfortable, taking a certain stress factor out of the situation. I am an attorney myself and could not imagine going through this process without their guidance and knowledge. Thanks for everything, Katie & Steve!

The main thing I was looking for in a law office was someone to help take a load off my back, not add on to the burden I was already dealing with. Steve and Katie were the best from the get-go! They were very kind and professional in their work. I was given time and patience and not once did I feel rushed or like a burden to them with my case. Awesome team! I recommend to everyone.

Steve is an awesome lawyer and very quick to responding. He's really knowledgeable and friendly. His office is small but the staff is kind and he is kind. He helps when he can and tries to work with you. He is a father's rights and 3rd party rights lawyer who works out of st. Louis city, st. Louis county, and Jefferson county.

Steve is one amazing attorney. He is real and personable. Steve takes the time to explain everything and thoroughly answer questions at hand. My personal recommendation does not even begin to define the worthiness of this attorney. If you are looking for an honest and hardworking attorney, Steve is your guy. I will forever be thankful for everything he has done for my family and I. Thanks Steve!!

They were quick and helpful dealing with my speeding tickets! They made sure everything was taken care of and followed up to make sure there were no loose ends! I would highly recommend using them.

Best call I ever made was this one. I told Steve about the issues my fiance was going through while trying to get his child support stopped and within a couple of days we had an answer and the child support was terminated. Well worth the time and money. We would probably still be trying to get a hold of someone to figure out where the paperwork was. Thank you so much for everything!

Great attorney! Steve has been so helpful through my divorce. He was very quick to file all the paperwork and got everything finished a lot faster than i would have ever expected! I would recommend him to family and friends and will continue to use Steve in the future!

If you are looking for a good attorney in St. Louis this is definitely the place to go. My friend recommended this attorney because he has had several tickets reduced by Steve. He is knowledgeable and kept me updated, and was really helpful for my situation. I had quite the speeding ticket on my hands and my court date was in a couple days so I wasn't sure if anything could be done but Bardol Law Firm handled it for me very promptly, reducing the ticket to a parking violation. It was a super easy and affordable process for me which is just what I needed. I will be returning here for any legal needs in the future.

I am an attorney and have sent several clients to Steve due to his familiarity with Missouri family law. Each client has had nothing but positive things to say and Steve was a great advocate for their rights.

Steve is a great attorney that goes the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. His attention to detail and legal knowledge make him a great asset to anyone in need of representation or advice. A consummate professional, Steve has helped me many times and is always willing to work with your situation. I recommend Steve to anyone out there looking for an attorney.

Contacted Bardol Law Firm to fix a speeding ticket. Although it took several months to get it resolved due to the precinct, Steve stayed in constant contact making sure the issue was resolved.

Mr. Bardol gave professional advice and handled my divorce with expertise. I felt that he was personally concerned about me. I knew I could contact him at any time and he always called back promptly when I left a message. I highly recommend Bardol Law Firm.

Thanks for your help, Steve. I really appreciate you helping me out and getting everything taken care of so quickly. Highly Recommended! Would not go to anyone else!

Steve was a wonderful attorney. Going into an adoption can be very scary. He always calmed my fears and answered my questions in a clam and precise manner. Thank you Steve for all you help with the adoption! I would highly recommend him and use him again.

I have consistently used Steve for all matters pertaining to divorces, adoptions, custody hearings and all aspects of family law. Steve provides incredible access to his clients, making them comfortable and informed throughout each case. His willingness to work and his one on one approach are something I have truly appreciated. Without a doubt, he is highly recommended.

I have used Stephen on several occasions and have always been pleased with his work. I found him to be knowledgeable, professional, organized, and affordable. I have recommened his services to friends and will use him if I need legal services in the future.

Steve helped me with an issue last year. He's a good guy and did a nice job. I'd use him again.

Steve is a great attorney and I am so thankful to have worked with him. Steve was incredibly focused on my best interests, but was also willing to listen to my concerns when they arose. He gives a new meaning to dedication, as he took time past business hours to listen to my case. I found he was always organized, responsive, professional and dedicated throughout my entire case. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone going through this life transition

Stephen has been a wonderful advisor whenever I am in need of any legal advice. This is the second time that I have been in need of legal assistance and Stephen did not hesitate to provide the continued customer service as given to me for my previous case. I would highly recommend Stephen for his services; especially those, like me, who are not legally-savy.

Steve Bardol is a top notch attorney who truly cares about achieving his client's goals. I refer cases to Mr. Bardol because of his quality representation of clients in the realm of family law and criminal matters. I highly recommend Steve Bardol as your attorney.

Steve Bardol is an excellent family law attorney. I've referred friends of mine to Steve for traffic matters, employment matters, and criminal matters. He is very friendly and patient with all his clients. I recommend Steve Bardol highly!
