Estate & Business Law · Illinois & Missouri

Protect your family, your business, your legacy.

An estate and business law firm serving individuals, families & small businesses in Illinois and Missouri.

A planning-first practice built on judgment, not volume.

Why are you here?

The approach

Counsel that starts with judgment, not paperwork.

Estate and business decisions are rarely just legal questions — they're questions about family, control, and what you want to be true years from now. This is a deliberately smaller practice, built so that the attorney who hears your situation is the one who designs the plan and stands behind it.

Why clients choose the firm

Counsel you can rely on, start to finish

Direct, personal attention

You work directly with the attorney handling your matter, from first meeting to final signature. Your plan reflects your facts, not a template.

Illinois & Missouri fluency

Cross-border families and businesses in the Metro East and St. Louis area get advice grounded in both states' law.

Planning that holds up

We build for the second death, the audit, and the transition — the moments a plan is actually tested — not just for signing day.

I came to Anthony with a 40 year old will and property trust in serious need of updating. He tackled the challenge promptly and competently, giving me much needed confidence that my heirs will be able to conclude my final wishes when the time comes. I strongly recommend Anthony for estate planning.

Anthony Steinmetz is an absolute gentleman. Pleasant, easy to talk with and smart. He was attentive to our needs, told us exactly what we needed in layman's terms and did not try to sell us more legal services than we needed. The next time we need legal services in Illinois, we are going straight back to Anthony.

We recently completed an adoption that was 5 years in the making. We selected Anthony as our adoption attorney and he did not disappoint. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was exceptional. If you are in the process of adopting through the state of Illinois I highly recommend you reach out to him.
