About
Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Bob Linhares. I have been married to my wife, Megan, since 1986. We have lived in Florissant, MO, since 1988. We have three children and they have been a true blessing and joy to us. When our kids were young we were actively involved in their sports and school activities, volunteering as coaches and serving on many parish and school comittees at Sacred Heart, our parish family here in Florissant. We remain active in our parish and community in many different ways. Megan and I like to get out and enjoy nature as often as possible. One thing we always enjoyed as a family was our annual vacation. Over the years we have hung out at the beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida, stayed in some great cottages along Lake Michigan, hiked the Grand Canyon and climbed 14,000-ft. peaks in Colorado. I enjoy the sport of archery and occassionaly like to get out and hunt with my long bow. I have been an attorney since 1988 and am licensed to practice in Missouri and Illinois. I have been a partner at Rebman, Linhares & Beachem, P.C., since 1998. My partners, Joe Rebman and Greg Beachem are not only my law partners but are good friends and we do whatever we can to help each other. After many years of teaching pre-kindergarten my wife Megan joined our office in 2011 and now serves as our office manager and paralegal. Megan has a bachelor's degree in Journalism and also worked as a corporate writer for a number of years. She wears many hats at the office and they all fit her well!I have tried a number of cases in State and Federal Court over the years, but the primary focus of my practice is now concentrated in three areas: 1) Estate Planning and Elder Care/Disability Law. I draft traditional estate planning documents such as Revocable Trusts, Wills, and General Durable Power of Attorney documents for financial and health care decisons. I also draft specialized estate planning documents that can help protect assets and in certain cases allow people to qualify for or remain on benefits such as Medicaid or Social Security Disability. For example I can meet with you to help determine if a Special Needs Trust might be of help to a person receiving some form of government disability benefits or whether an Irrevocable Trust might make sense as a planning tool for asset protection in the event skilled nursing care and Medicaid benefits are needed in the future. I am a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. 2) Probate Law. I have handled many probate estates over the years and can efficiently guide you through the probate system. Probate estates may involve a Will or a situation where the deceased left no Will. The estate may be large or it may involve less than $40,000.00, in which case a Small Estate Affidavit may be used to speed up the process. Examples of other types of probate matters are Petition For Determination Of Heirs, Spousal Refusal Of Letter, Creditor Refusal Of Letters, and Guardianship and Conservatorship Estates. 3) Business and Real Estate Law. I can represent a Buyer or Seller in drafting and negotiating a Sale Contract, draft real property deeds and provide counsel in all types of real estate issues. I can help a business select the right type of entity and draft the needed documents to begin operation, such as the Operating Agreement for an LLC. I can also provide counsel to your business on everyday legal issues involving contracts and employment.

Atty. Linhares protected my house from an invalid quit claim deed. Two other attorneys refused to take my case. One of those attorneys was recommended by my cousin. The other attorney was recommended by my tax preparer.
Mr. Linhares provided invaluable guidance in helping me to ensure my dad's finances were taken care of when he moved into a nursing home. With a deep understanding of elder law and the Medicaid system, as well as excellent foresight and organization, Mr. Linhares helped us find the best solution available for my dad's unique situation—far surpassing our expectations. I'd recommend Mr. Linhares and his team to anyone I know, and will feel forever grateful for all of his help.
I lost my wife of over 48 years suddenly. This was totally unexpected and devastating. I received a recommendation from a friend to contact Bob Linhares as a compassionate lawyer to handle the legal affairs. Bob was patient through the entire process of updating my will, creating a revocable trust, as I was not always thinking clearly. He provided sound guidance to my questions and concerns. I could not be happier with the results of this process.
Bob was extremely informative, and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him!
Bob has been a Godsend to our family in assisting with legal guidance and estate planning. He goes above and beyond to offer the best options for my aging parents as well as for myself and spouse. I trust him completely and am comforted and confident that he is taking care of our needs.
Mr Linhares was extremely professional and explained things in terms that I was able to understand. He guided me to make the best decisions for my particular situation. He replied to my many questions in an efficient and timely manner. I highly recommend Mr Linhares.
Robert Linhares has provided legal advise and services to our family on numerous occasions over 20 years and he has done so with knowledge, skill and integrity. Robert LInhares is a competent, and conscientious attorney I would recommed strongly. He is most trustworthy to provide outstanding legal services.
Bob originally helped me in a settlement agreement for wrongful termination against my former employer. He successfully won a good monetary settlement for me after two other lawyers told me the facts weren’t strong enough for them to want to take the case. Bob handled the case diligently and kept me informed all along the way. He provided realistic and expert advice on how to win. I felt his billing was more than fair and believed he under billed me based on the time we would spend on the phone discussing options. My wife and I also had Bob establish a trust for our estate. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in setting the trust up to accomplish our goals. He minimized tax consequences and also provided advice on avoiding conflicts among our heirs. We had put this effort off thinking it would be a huge hassle but Bob made it easy. I would definitely recommend Bob for any legal issues you have. I will certainly use him for any legal needs I experience in the future.
Bob is very thorough and easy to work with. He responds promptly to any questions you might have. His office administrator is very organized and keeps you updated step by step so that you won't forget anything.
