A. Blake Law, LLC

Dear Clients, Friends, and Family: There is not much to say about 2020 that has not already been lamented many times over. I had plans for this firm and for my personal life that were set aside just to get through day by day. Today though, I reflect, that during a global pandemic, people I know helped to keep my business open by sending referrals to my door - or themselves speeding around town and sending me the ticket to fix. So, from me to you, thank you for your continued support of A. Blake Law. I wish the best for you in the new year. What is something you are looking forward to in 2021? - Anne N. Blake, Esq.

Happy Holidays, Clients, Friends, and Family.

Recently, this firm closed the file on its most recent uncontested divorce. Start to finish, the process took less than 2 months to complete: from gathering information, completion of forms, edits of pleadings, filing, to mailing the certified Order of Dissolution. It also cost my client far less than if it was a contested action. If you would like more information on uncontested divorce, please reach out to A. Blake Law via email: [email protected], phone: 314.635.7354, or, FB Messenger: click on "Get Quote" on the firm's page.

Saint Louis Zoo Opening Update: Saint Louis Zoo Plans to Reopen June 13 Guests have to make reservations in advance ... Today, the Saint Louis Zoo has announced Saturday, June 13 as its reopening date for the public. As part of its commitment to the continued well-being of guests, staff and animals, and in an ongoing effort to assist the community in preventing the spread of COVID-19, the Zoo has implemented enhanced protocols and procedures. I am excited to share the news about our reopening and I hope everyone knows that the Saint Louis Zoo values safety, said Jeffrey Bonner, Ph.D., Dana Brown President & CEO, Saint Louis Zoo. I am amazed at the incredible care our staff has provided to the animals during this pandemic as well as the diligent work underway in preparation to provide our guests with safe and memorable experiences. Zoo Leadership has closely monitored the developments of the global outbreak of COVID-19, following regular updates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), as well as information provided by federal, state and local authorities and health officials. The unique characteristics of the Zoo campus and vast outdoor experiences provide the opportunity to safely implement numerous safety measures. While specific details pertaining to those measures as well as Zoo policies and protocols for guests will be shared closer to reopening, there a few outlined below: First, in order to better ensure good social distancing, the Zoo will limit attendance and require timed, free reservations in order to enter the Zoo. The Zoo will be open seven days a week and guests can make reservations at stlzoo.org beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 8. The Zoo also will provide a phone number for those unable to access the Zoo’s website. Next, at the direction of the Department of Health for the City of St. Louis, it is mandatory for Zoo staff to wear masks/face coverings and the Zoo will require all guests over the age of 9 to wear masks/face coverings while visiting. Guests with preexisting health conditions unable to wear a mask/face covering for medical reasons are exempt. Guests are allowed to remove or lower their masks/face coverings when practicing good social distancing of 6 feet or more when eating or drinking. Face coverings can help minimize virus transmission from asymptomatic individuals. Keeping our animal and veterinary care staff safe and protected is the best measure to keep our animals safe and at minimal risk of exposure to a virus that we know very little about, said Dr. Bonner. On behalf of everyone at the Saint Louis Zoo, we appreciate your support and we look forward to seeing you soon, said Dr. Bonner. Until then, we encourage you to follow us on social media or on our blog (stlzoo.org/blog) to stay connected as we do our best to share stories and photos.

Day five: Family Law, 31.1% of my practice. This area contains: Divorce, known as dissolution, and can be either contested or uncontested/by consent (I love to handle uncontested divorces!); Motion to Modify, for a change in child support and/or custody; Family Access Motion; and Motion for Contempt, for when a party is not complying with a court order. It did not surprise me that I spend the most hours on Family Law (it would be a much higher percentage without my 2019 landl...ord cases). Family Law cases can be complicated and/or go on for months or years, especially when a child or children are involved. And with so much at stake, it takes literal time to ensure my client has her/his bases covered and that I bring my best efforts into court. Thanks for playing along this week! I hope these posts helped give you an understanding of what this firm does and potentially, how I can be of service to you or someone you know. Attorney disclaimer (of course, right?): If you believe you have a legal issue that requires attorney representation, please reach out by email, phone, or Messenger. Just remember, neither reaching out with a question nor having a consultation establishes an attorney-client relationship between yourself and this firm. That takes a contract! Also, by stating that I have practiced an area of law before does not mean I will or must do so in the future. Every case is different, and I will treat each as such in evaluating whether to take on representation. None of these posts are a guarantee of an outcome.

Day four: Civil Law, 30.5% of my practice. Civil law refers to law that is not criminal, so technically, I could split my case types into two categories. But what fun is that? The cases referenced here are types of civil law that I take most often and that can take many hours of litigation: Breach of Contract, Eviction and Unlawful Detainer (mostly landlord representation); garnishment; and Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MMPA), a consumer protection statute.

Day three: Criminal Law, 18.3% of my practice. Yes, I do criminal defense and I handle traffic tickets! Also, I have been successful at expunging prior convictions. Seeking counsel and the discussion therein is confidential. If you or someone you know is facing criminal charges, or have an outstanding traffic ticket, please do reach out to an attorney.

Day two: Injury cases, 11.3% of my practice. This area consists of cases wherein my client(s) was hurt, for example, in a car collision, by a dog bite, on a premises such as a home or business, due to medical negligence, or while at work (Workers' Compensation). I enjoy this area of my practice because I, over the course of my representation, not only watch my client recover from her/his injuries, I then get to negotiate compensation to my client for having suffered those inj...uries.

Day one: Other, 8.8% of my practice. These cases include: Probate cases (wills, guardianship, etc.); contract drafting and review; letter drafting; and LLC formation. Probating wills/ Estate planning is newer to this firm, and I look forward to growing this portion of my caseload.

I am often asked what type of law I practice or what law I specialize in. In response, I compiled my hours into the chart here to show the variety of law I practice and in what percent. My hours are divided into five large areas of law: Family Law, Civil Law, Criminal Law, Injury cases, and Other. Each day next week (3 Feb - 7 Feb), I will detail one area by listing certain specific types of cases I am currently representing or have represented. As always, thank you for your ...support of this firm. I am successful because of the referrals of people reading this page. Since day one, I tracked my hours on my cases, even if the case was not billed hourly. This data allows me to more accurately price my cases and to set expectations of the time a certain lawsuit may take. Neat!
