My name is Gerald Linnenbringer, and I’m an uncontested divorce lawyer located in St. Louis, Missouri. By far the most popular service I offer is the flat-fee Missouri uncontested divorce. Presumptively, it’s the reason you find yourself on my website today.

Before getting into the rich history of my uncontested divorce service, I will let you know a little about myself. I have lived in St. Louis for a majority of my life. I grew up in Ballwin and attended Lafayette High School. At Lafayette, I displayed some of the telltale signs that I would one day grow to be a renowned uncontested divorce lawyer. Specifically, I beat my typing teacher in a typing speed competition.

From the time I was 15 years old, I was a worker. During high school and college, I worked in a number of restaurants, first as a bus boy and then as a waiter. Working in a restaurant is a valuable experience. The high-paced, customer-focused environment teaches the importance of hustle and the value of prioritizing, both of which have served me well throughout my education and career.

I received my degree from University of Missouri St. Louis. After graduation, I sold commercial copiers for a year. While it did not turn out to be my true calling in life, working in business-to-business sales did allow me to further develop the focus on client experience that serves my practice well today. From copier sales, I moved on to Saint Louis University, where I obtained my law degree and MBA.

While at SLU I met my wife, Katy, who was also attending law school. Fast forward fifteen years and we are currently living in Webster Groves with Wally the English bulldog, and two small children. In my spare time, I enjoy driving to work in the morning. Above you will see a couple pictures of my family.

With that in-depth look into my life out of the way, let us focus again on the likely reason you are here - my uncontested divorce service.

Since beginning to offer flat-fee uncontested divorces in 2009, the popularity of the service has grown each year. In 2010, I handled 125 uncontested divorces. In 2011, that number jumped to over 200, then to over 300 in 2012. In 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 I averaged about one uncontested divorce per calendar day. COVID sadly provided a bump, with over 400 uncontested divorces handled each year between 2019 and 2022. All of these divorces were uncontested, with the parties simply needing an efficient, easy, and affordable way to get their divorce completed quickly and correctly by an experienced attorney.

Many attorneys seem to shy away from using technology to help provide legal services, but I try to use it as much as possible. It allows me to communicate quickly with clients, and help individuals in far away locations that would previously made representation considerably more burdensome. Relying on electronic communications also allows me to help clients not only in the St. Louis Metro area, but throughout the state. It is not uncommon at all for me to complete a client's uncontested divorce without ever even seeing them. Individuals contact me from all over Missouri, including Columbia, Kansas City, and Cape Girardeau, to name a few, for help with their uncontested divorce. I've even had clients hire me from Australia, Europe, and Asia (their spouses lived in Missouri, of course). No matter where the client is from, I take great pride in facilitating their uncontested divorce as easily and quickly as possible. Taking the stress out of divorce is an important part of my job, and it is something past clients have shown appreciation for. I have consolidated client reviews from around the internet here on my website: Uncontested Divorce Client Testimonials.

Since 2014, in an effort to make my uncontested divorce service faster and more convenient, I have provided clients a convenient, safe, and secure way to initiate their Missouri uncontested divorce online. In the first year that my Missouri online uncontested divorce service was available, 75 uncontested divorces were submitted, reviewed, and paid for entirely online. The second year that number increased to just under 100, and in both the third and fourth years, over 150 uncontested divorces were handled completely through my online divorce system. I appreciate suggestions from clients who have used the online submission, as I'm constantly working to make the online divorce process better.

If you have had to use the services of an attorney in the past, you know how frustrating it can be to get a hold of them. That's why I make sure to be easy to reach at my office (314) 238-1219, my cell phone (636) 236-1488, or through e-mail. I do not use a secretary, paralegal, or associate attorney to handle my cases, or to screen my calls. When you need to reach me, you can, whether through e-mail, text message, or an old-fashioned phone call.

Thank you very much for visiting my webpage. There is an abundance of Missouri divorce information located throughout my site, especially in the Missouri Uncontested Divorce FAQ, but please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions that you may have, or for a price quote on your uncontested divorce. I hope to hear from you soon.

Machine Processing Divorce Decrees

When it comes to an uncontested divorce case, the difference between an experience that is “just okay” and an experience that is truly exceptional, comes down to three things: the attorney’s understanding of the law and the divorce process, the attorney's effort level, and whether the attorney has developed a system for taking in and processing incoming uncontested divorce cases.

It took completing thousands of uncontested divorce cases to create a system that is unparalleled. Like KFC's fried chicken or McDonald's french fries, the proprietary blend that makes up Linnenbringer Law's uncontested divorce system is a closely guarded secret. I can say, however, that the main ingredient is an unhealthy obsession with immediately responding to client inquiries.

Please find below the Linnenbringer Law Code of Conduct. This strict set of rules is the standard by which every Linnenbringer Law employee is held to:

Divorce lawyers working hard
  • Answer emails and text messages as fast as humanly possible.

  • Work a minimum of six days per week.
