Jamie Mcgavic is the BEST hands down! Great law firm! Highly recommend!

I think this Law Firm is the best. They worked very hard and very closely with me. Miss Amanda Hogenmiller was a wonderful attorney. I cannot begin to show my gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work and all the work her team did. If I ever need a family law again I will definitely use them over and over. I would strongly suggest anyone looking for family law retain this law firm and they will work very hard to represent you and do what's best for you and your family. Thank you Amanda Hogenmiller and team.

Jamie Mcgavic became my lawyer when i was 19 years old when my 8 week old twins boys and I got kicked out of their fathers house. It was a very rough time for me, I was so young, a new mom and was completely terrified. I was referred to her by one of my mother's friends. Choosing her to represent me was by far the best decision I could have ever made. She was not only my lawyer but was kind of my counselor as well, I had a horrible case, the father was clearly not wanting anything to do with my sons and it was obvious to not only her but our GAL. But he tried to fight for 50/50. He was extremely verbally abusive and always made me feel like i was going to lose my children because i was young and had to move back home with my parents. While he had his own home but continued to party and not have the time of day to ask about his children for weeks at a time. Him and his girlfriend would post horrible things about me on social media and it was so hard for me dealing with that and everything I was going through so young. But having Jamie on my side and always just a phone call away made everything about my case easier, she made me feel comfortable and started to make me feel confident. Everything she promised me she wouldn't let happen, that promise was made. I ended up getting what I wanted in the end and what was best for my sons because of Jamie's hard work and dedication on my case and her kind heart to help me out mentally as well. I could not have gone through almost a two year case with any other lawyer as smooth as I did with her, I needed her to help me get through everything. I can't thank her enough for everything she has done for me and for everything she continues to do for me almost two years out of my case we still keep in touch and she still answers the phone or calls me back when i need her. I referred two of my friends to her and they both came out happy in the end of their cases. One female and one male I highly recommend her to anyone both men and women who need help making sure their kids get what is best for them. Shes dose an amazing job at what she does, i sleep better at night knowing my sons are safe with me.

Words can’t describe how grateful I am for Jamie! She has gone above and beyond what I thought and expected from a lawyer. If you are looking for a lawyer that really cares about you and wants to make sure you and your kids are okay, then she is the one. She didn’t give me 100%, she gave me 150%. I felt so protected with her wisdom. My divorce was unfortunately a high conflict divorce and she without a question went into battle for me with all her might. To tell you how good she is, she was actually referred to me by another lawyer, from another firm – I might add! And out of the 10 plus lawyers I called, she is the only one that 1) took the time to see what judge was assigned for my case and 2) she was the only lawyer that looked at my case through the eyes of the judge assigned to my case. I read an article that the same case was given to 10 different judges from the same state and they all came with very extreme verdicts so knowing how your case is going to be seen by the judge in-charged of your case is crucial and having an attorney who gets that is priceless!!! I highly recommend Jamie to represent you, she was a blessing in my life and I feel so grateful for her! I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer and hopefully friend in the future! ;0)

Great law firm, worked with Jamie. My case was high conflict and Jamie was always on top of her game. She was exceptional to work with and I would highly recommend her.

wife bad
car good

Patrick, was amazing in keeping me informed of my case, and what my options were. He listened to my needs and wants, and helped me achieve them. All within a reasonable budget.

My husband and I hired Patrick about halfway through our custody case after not being very impressed with our first attorney and he did a fantastic job! He was extremely professional and thorough with us and helped us achieve the best possible outcome regarding my stepson's custody arrangement. Not only was he very forthcoming with us throughout the process, he very much valued my opinion as a step-parent as well. We are very grateful to Patrick and his staff for their hard work and dedication to our case.

Amanda has been an amazing attorney and very attentive to our needs and wants. I cant say enough about her.

Ms McGavic helped to make my family whole again. After fighting for custody of my daughter for nearly 8 years, Jamie helped me navigate the MO family courts and guided me to full custody. The best attorney you could ask for, and an absolute sweetheart! Calls back, even answers texts, and is flexible. Something hard to find in MO family law attorneys!

I was referred to Mike O'Shea by a friend and I was not disappointed. Mike and his staff were all very professional and kind throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer my questions and make sure I understood everything. Mike is a very talented and headstrong attorney that got the job done in a timely manner. The reception/paralegals always answered my phone calls and emails right away and kept the communication open and prompt. I'm very appreciative to have worked with such a great team. Keep up the good work! I will always recommend this law firm!

Patrick was a wonderful lawyer. He always was very clear in our direction and what I should be doing. He was my lawyer for my daughters custody case. Even when it transferred to Iowa he kept in contact. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer. I reached out to him twice before I paid his retainer fee and he didn't charge me.

I have been working with Michael O'Shea and his staff since 2011. We have had multiple cases go through St Louis County Court in that time. While I remain completely disappointed in the court system, Mike has been an expert in navigating through their inefficiencies and helping me get and keep Sole Custody of my son. He has always been more than fair in his billing and the records of our communication are always organized and easily accessed. Most importantly, he has been a champion for my needs and has achieved my desired outcome consistently. POMH Family Law is a well-run, well-respected, and friendly firm that gets results. Highly recommend.

Mike O'Shea helped put behind me two very complicated, messy cases. He worked methodically, intelligently and effectively to put them to rest! Whenever I have the chance I tell people that he is great in what he does!

I can not say enough great things about this firm. Jamie McGavic is an excellent lawyer. She is always available and responds quickly to all your questions and needs. I know I had the best possible representation during my long and painful child modification case. I never doubted her ability, and was awarded the best possible judgement. She cares about her clients, and most importantly the children involved in these cases. Due to the length of my case I was lucky enough to meet the entire firm and legal team. Everyone was kind, compassionate, professional, and on top of their game. I would recommend this whole office (especially Jamie!) to any and all of my family and close personal friends.

Jamie McGavic -I was so terrified of going through the whole court process. I had heard such horror stories from others on what to expect. You were always there when I needed you and prompt to return my calls. You kept me informed on what to expect and put my mind at ease. You made this whole process so much easier on me. You took care of me but most importantly you fought to keep my son safe-for that I can't thank you enough.
Jamie McGavic comes with my highest recommendation. I truly feel you won't find a better family law attorney.

My wife and I had interviewed several attorneys while we were preparing to take my ex-wife back to court over some custody issues. After a few meetings, we began to feel as though we were never going to find the right attorney. A friend recommended Jamie McGavic so we made an appointment and went to meet her. We immediately knew that we had found the "One". Jamie saw that our desire to protect the kids best interest was the top priority. She worked hard every single day to show us that our case was her most important case. We knew that Jamie had a whole list of cases to deal with but she always answered my phone calls, even after hours. She always made us feel as though our case was the only one that mattered. In the courtroom, she was diligent and thorough. In the end, her tenacity got us a settlement that I never dreamed was possible and she still stays in contact to make sure everything is happening as agreed. If you need a family law attorney, you cannot go wrong with Jamie McGavic. She, and her entire staff will be the answer to your prayers. Thank you Jamie, for everything!!!!!

When I had to find legal help in MO I was daunted with the task of finding someone capable to represent some one in NJ with a legal issue in MO. Being that I live in NJ the only way to find such help was online. I searched the internet for reputable child support representation in STL. My case was very complicated being that I lived in another state and the other party in this case was not very cooperative or truthful.
Once Amanda got a full understanding as to what was going on in this case, she was a very strong legal representation on my behalf. She exposed ALL of the untruthful claims from the other party and step by step, cleared up my legal issue with the MO child support system. That's another thing, she had to stay on top of FSD to make sure everything was filed correctly and submitted correctly, because FSD had a lot of mistakes that also helped in making my case very complicated. The MO child support system will not take the word of the father, you will need legal representation if you want to be heard in the MO system if you're the father. I am very glad that I had Amanda Hogenmiller from Pedano, O'Shea, McGavic & Hogenmiller, LLC represent me in my case. With their help, my legal issues have been cleared up. It wasn't easy, but they cleared it up!

I was very pleased with my attorneys, Michael O'Shea and Elizabeth Sheehan. I wish I would have used them for my divorce because they were very friendly and not intimidating at all. I wasn't afraid to call and ask them a question and they always responded promptly. No question was too small or too insignificant for them. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a Family Law attorney.

Patrick Pedano did a great job handling a family law matter for me. Patrick and his staff are totally professional in the way they handle tough situations. They go above and beyond what is expected. I would recommend him and his office for any family law matters that you may have.

I would definitely recommend Jamie McGavic to represent anyone going through a divorce. I truly believe that she always had my best interest in mind. She always responded in a timely manner as well. I feel she went above and beyond and when situations arose she went the extra mile to make sure everything benefited me in the end. Prior to Jamie, I had previous lawyers, who just seemed interested in "getting a deal done" and settling whether it was for my benefit or not. My only regret is not finding Jamie sooner. So I will definitely be recommending Jamie to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate circumstances of divorce. God forbid I need another divorce attorney, but if I do, Jamie is the first one I will call.

I turned to the nice folks at POMH to take care of an issue and they did so in a very timely and professional manner. When in need, you can feel confident that they will take good care of you.

Patrick Pedano represented me during my divorce and custody battle. I've known Patrick for over five years. I'm not only grateful for him as an attorney, I'm lucky to call him a friend. He has always been honest, hardworking, professional, sincere, and he cares about his clients. He doesn't make promises he can't keep. If you are looking for the best, you can find it right here at POMH Family Law.

Michael O'Shea provided a wealth of knowledge in successfully managing a pivotal case for my family. The value of services received versus investment was exceptional. Should I ever find myself in need of representation, I will not hesitate to continue my relationship with POM&H.

Jamie McGavic is an excellent lawyer who knows her business. She made me feel comfortable and that it was all about me. She has a great personality and very professional. Jamie explains all the details in ways you will understand and the lines of communication are always open. I put my trust in Jamie and she got the job done! It was no half stepping on her part! Pedano, O'Shea, McGavic, & Hogenmiller, LLC is the firm for you.

Jaime McGavic is a great lawyer who not only is good at what she does. She is a very sincere person who I believe that looks at each case in a personal way and makes you feel like she is a family friend. But most of all she knows all the ins and outs about family law, some things you may not even be aware of. She works hard in getting what you deserve and will fight to the end. I felt like I had nowhere to turn to.....every lawyer I talked to made me feel like I didn't have a chance except for her. She has recently joined with other great lawyers who I am familiar with to begin a firm as one, and I don't think anyone would go wrong with choosing this law firm......Thanks for everything Jaime!

This is an excellent firm. I worked with Jamie McGavic who was always extremely courteous and thorough. She was quick to respond, worked diligently on my behalf, and her professionalism and knowledge made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend Jamie McGavic and this firm.

I have just been through a "bitter" custody modification and if it had not been for Jamie McGavic Esq, I would have been taken to the cleaners, so to speak, AGAIN. Instead, I had an attorney who was competent, accessible 24/7, always willing to hear the problem and intervene on my behalf to deescalate the vindictive ex-wife who was and still tries to use my 12 y/o Son as a pawn to get to me. For 15 months this person tried to take my son from me, with full knowledge that I have terminal cancer. I know, don't even try to understand it, neither of us do either. The point is: I not only won the custody modification, but gained more visitation rights and privileges because Jamie was ALWAYS there advocating for what was right. I know, a lot of people think a prerequisite to being a lawyer is "dishonesty". Frankly, some of them are, but definitely not Jamie McGavic, or anyone at this firm. Before becoming a partner with the firm above she worked with and FOUGHT for abused and neglected children, just to show you where her heart,and values are, and she didn't bankrupt me in the process. No hidden fees. Before you talk to anyone about FAMILY LAW, talk to her. Judge for yourself. Thank you Jamie so much for fighting for me to keep the joint legal and joint custody that I had before, and improving on it when my ex-wife tried to take him from me when she found out I was terminally ill. God Bless you. Thank God there are still good people in this world, because these days I begin to wonder sometimes if anyone is genuinely a decent person. Jamie dispelled that fear. She is truly a woman of character, and not afraid to fight for what is RIGHT.

Jamie McGavic has continued to impress us with her eagerness to assist and her professionalism in the courtroom. My husband had hired Jamie to represent him in a divorce case and subsequent custody modification case and she went above and beyond both instances. We highly recommend Pedano, O'Shea, McGavic & Hogenmiller, LLC for your family law needs.
