About
I am a local boy, having attended gradeschools in Wood River, East Alton, and O'Fallon, Illinois. Before going to college, I labored on my grandfather's farm, worked as a part-time janitor for O'Fallon Township High School, sold parts at the Sears repair facility in Belleville, waited on cars at the Steak N Shake in Fairview Heights, sold men's clothing at J A Severn Men's Shop in O'Fallon, prepared food for Dohack's Restaurant in Fairview, and I helped local farmers bale hay, cut weeds, paint, etc.In high school, my speech-commuications instructor, Bill Waggoner, talked me into joining the debate team. I lived for debate in high school and college, winning scores of awards and tournaments.After law school, my wife and I lived in San Antonio for a few years, where we had a child and discovered bankruptcy law. Before my daughter became school age, we moved back "home" and I started practicing bankruptcy law for a Belleville firm named McRoberts Sheppard Wimmer & Stiehl. After a couple of years with the McRoberts law firm, I took an associate attorney position with Carr Korein Tillery Kunin Montroy Glass & Bogard in East St. Louis. After five years with the Carr law firm, I started my own practice and have yet to look back.I have over thirty years of bankruptcy experience, primarily representing creditors for the first ten years of my legal career and debtors for the last twenty years. I promise to bring this experience to the table with every client I meet.

Steve Stanton is the best lawyer ever! He keeps his word on everything he tells you. During my bankruptcy, Steve stayed in touch with me, kept me informed of everything, but most of all, he explained everything and didn't make me feel dumb for some of the questions I asked! If he wasn't available at any time, his assistant was always there to answer my question(s). His office staff is very friendly, also. I never once had any bad feelings or experience. I would highly recommend Steve for your attorney!
Over four years ago our business went under due to the crashing economy. After several attempts in working (on our own) with our bank to secure a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and after seeking counsel with multiple attorneys to secure a deed in lieu of foreclosure with our bank... we were referred to Steven Stanton. He is amazing! While every counselor we met before him advised us to file bankruptcy (even though we made it clear that was not something we wanted to do!) to get out of the financial situation we were in, HE actually explained that we had OTHER OPTIONS. What was even more impressive with Mr. Stanton was that he explained ALL of our OPTIONS in GREAT DETAIL. While we could have filed bankruptcy through him if we chose, he felt there were other ways to resolve our issue. This was great news for us because we DID NOT WANT bankruptcy on our record if at all possible. This attorney is THE FIRST attorney we have ever worked with that actually cared more about his client's outcome rather than his income. He is passionate about his client's, respects his client's, and is OVERLY knowledgeable of financial and bankruptcy regulation. Steven Stanton is the person you want on your side. We would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Mr. Stanton, for working so diligently and passionately to get us the outcome we desired.
As a single male with no assets in debt Counsellor Stanton and his team took on the Federal Trustee and The IL Court with Fervency. I as an ordained minister and healthcare provider do recommend him to anyone who wishes to end the crushing feeling of debt. He went through every option in a free consultation and has negotiated and protected my assets that are exempt to the best of legal remedy. Whether you be in need of Debt Consolidation, Chapter 7, 13 or others Steven T. Stanton is the first choice for Honesty and Ingegrity and let it be known on my honor as a man and a mason that he is considered a confident and friend. Rev Stephen J. Brown
