Reviews
Mr. Fenley made me feel extremely comfortable and put me at ease in a hurry. As a person that can be a bit on the high maintenance side, he did everything in his powers to make things right, and was an extremely understanding, professional, and laid back. I highly recommend his services for all your legal needs.
John is the man! My wife and I have hired John for all our legal services, but originally as our family court attorney. He was so real and professional and honest and knowledgeable, basically the opposite of our prior attorneys. It was such a relief to have one less worry. He has made himself probably too available to us, and I can’t thank him enough for actually caring! I’ve never stood before a judge and had them tell me that I need to thank my attorney and tell me 3 more times that I must have an excellent lawyer and how lucky I was and to thank him. Don’t waste your time and money somewhere else .
Mr. Fenley was extraordinarily patient, professional, and diligent in his handling of my divorce case. He was focused and deliberate when discussing legal strategy, but also friendly and understanding when it came to dealing with the more personal side of family law.
My husband and I hired John Fenley to handle a Step-Parent adoption and terminate the rights of the biological father. John was very knowledgeable and most importantly, very compassionate to our needs. It was a very lengthy battle and there were many road blocks; however, John kept us on the right path. He was very responsive to our needs, always communicated in a very timely manner and it was evident that he truly cared about our family situation. In the end, it was a much needed, wonderful outcome. I would highly recommend John to anyone going through a custody situation.
Our family needed advice on how to handle an estate, and we were going up against a BIG bank. The person we were dealing with at the bank seemed to have something against us from the start - like he had a chip on his shoulder. He misinterpreted the trust document, and we decided not to lay down and take it. I did a lot of research on law firms in the St. Louis area, and found great reviews for RHP. Most of the firms I called wanted to talk about money right away. I found that RHP was more interested in finding out if it was a good fit. We found their fees to be SO much more fair than anyone else we spoke to. John Fenley is the attorney that we worked with - and we couldn't be more pleased. He has been so informative, and acted in our best interest. If you want an objective, fair, and well-informed legal team - this is the best I could find. By the way, John was able to avoid major legal fees, and the bank agreed with his/our interpretation of the trust doc. So we didn't have to create an estate, and avoided costly probate expenses. You can imagine what a relief this is to our family. Thank you John. I wish you continued success! Your integrity and fairness in our matters will not be forgotten.
John Fenley represented my interests in the most important event of my life; I trusted him with the future of my family. He was easy to work with, his team kept open lines of communication, and I never felt lost or confused. Litigation can be a nerve wrecking experience, but with John I always felt at ease. Thank you!
After a consultation with John Fenley I felt confident in knowing he could guide me in the right direction not only looking from my perspective but an overall. He always had my best interest in mind and never told me something I just wanted to hear. He listened to my concerns and was very honest with his responses. In the end process we came to the agreement together it was best not to modify my parenting plan. This was not something Mr. Fenley pushed me towards but together we reviewed all aspects of my concerns. I was very pleased with the outcome and followed every piece of advice he gave me to along the way. Many times Mr. Fenley responded after hours via email when I had major concerns which I have never had any other attorney do. He contacted me when needed and returned calls in a timely manner. I would recommend Mr. Fenley. He is an honest attorney who will actually listen and go over key points of a case. I have asked Mr. Fenley to keep my file for the future if needed as I will return for legal consultation or representation. He is one to be trusted. Thank you
