Earning The Highest Rating From Martindale-Hubbell

Craig A. Van Matre founded this firm over 30 years ago. In the intervening years, we have built a local and national reputation for excellence. By providing superior service to our clients, we continue to grow and broaden our areas of representation. Although we represent many clients with very large and complex operations that span the entire country, and even though we have built up a national reputation for excellence in business, real estate, and other areas, we are still driven to provide each client, no matter their size or sophistication, with personalized, value-adding services, primarily in Columbia, Jefferson City, and the Mid-Missouri region.

Our lawyers pride themselves on providing a wide range of legal services that span both corporate and individual needs. We serve corporations and small businesses with their legal needs, including contracts; business formation and planning; corporate, securities, and tax structuring; real estate acquisition and development; real estate and general commercial litigation; municipal government work; professional licensing; financing transactions; and employment.

The lawyers at Van Matre Law Firm also provide services for individuals and families, outside of business needs. With years of experience, we provide counsel in the areas of; wills, trusts, and estate planning services; guardianship and conservatorship matters; family law litigation; mediation; juvenile court cases; criminal defense; appeals; and a variety of other legal practice areas.

The Van Matre Law Firm has earned the highest (AV) rating available from Martindale-Hubbell, denoting the highest levels of professional performance as attorneys and the highest commitment to ethical practice.

Furthermore, even though we routinely represent clients in deals involving other large law firms located as far away as New York City and Los Angeles, we charge a fraction of their fees. Accordingly, we not only provide sophisticated legal services, but we save our clients money as well.

Most importantly, the lawyers and staff at the Van Matre Law Firm provide collaborative, enthusiastic, and effective representation for all of our clients, big and small. Clients across Mid-Missouri can rely on us for all of their legal needs.
