How can I find a lawyer on MissouriLawyersHelp.org?
Updated
MissouriLawyersHelp.org is a public resource site created by The Missouri Bar, and it includes an online lawyer-finding feature for Missouri residents. To use it, go to the site and look for the option to find a lawyer online; you can also download Missouri Bar publications on topics such as family law and living wills if you want background information before choosing someone.
What the site is and who it serves
MissouriLawyersHelp.org was created by The Missouri Bar to provide resources and services to residents of Missouri. According to the site, members of the public may:
- Find a lawyer online.
- Download Missouri Bar publications on topics ranging from family law to living wills.
- Find legal resources to better understand how the law affects daily life.
- Read news about #YourMOLaw.
The lawyer-finding function is aimed at the general public in Missouri, not at attorneys or out-of-state users.
How to find a lawyer on the site
The site itself describes the process only at a high level: members of the public may find a lawyer online. It does not publish a detailed step-by-step menu path in the available source material, so the practical approach is:
- Open MissouriLawyersHelp.org.
- Look for the lawyer-finding option on the page — the site presents it as an online search for the public.
- Use that feature to look for a lawyer.
- If you want context first, download a Missouri Bar publication on the relevant topic (for example, family law or living wills) before or while you search.
Expected result: you reach an online lawyer search provided by The Missouri Bar and can review lawyers there.
What to have ready before you search
The available site description does not list required fields or filters. As a general matter, when using a state bar lawyer directory, it helps to know:
- The area of law your situation falls under (for example, family law).
- Your location in Missouri, since you are looking for a Missouri lawyer.
- A short summary of what you need help with, so you can judge whether a lawyer's practice fits.
Because the source does not specify search filters, treat any specific filter (practice area, city, name) as something to check on the site itself rather than assume.
Common sticking points
- The site is for Missouri residents and Missouri lawyers; if your legal matter is outside Missouri, this directory is not the right starting point.
- The site offers publications and general legal resources in addition to the lawyer search — these are for understanding the law, not a substitute for advice from a lawyer you hire.
- No pricing, fee, or login information is provided in the available source, so do not assume the search or the publications are free, paid, or require an account. Check the site directly.
