(Just a word of caution, don’t default on your debt it’s just not worth it, but if you default here are a few tips). First, you don’t need to hire anyone to negotiate for […]
Many people are referred to our office because they are facing foreclosure. Unfortunately Missouri is a non-judicial foreclosure state. This means that the lender does not have to go to court to start a foreclosure. So when we fight a non-judicial foreclosure we don’t defend a lawsuit instead we must become the plaintiff and become […]

Boevingloh & Pliakos is primarily a litigation firm. Evictions, while generally small cases, can be tricky and timely action is important to landlords. In Missouri evictions can occur under several statutes one of our favorites is §§ 441.710 – 441.880 RSMo, which allows for expedited evictions when illegal activities are taking place at the residence. In the City of St. Louis these types of evictions can be important […]
Many people contact my office and the first thing they say is, “I owe the money so how can I win this case”. Of course they then tell me that the original creditor sold the debt several times, that the amount is all wrong etc etc. When a debt buyer sues they have to prove […]

The FDCPA is a federal law which places restrictions on consumer debt collectors. We often find FDCPA violations in cases that we defend.

I own a commercial warehouse. It is leased to a new tenant. The lease was handled by a commercial real estate broker.
From the beginning, the tenant had a problem with what he had signed. He claimed we misrepresented the clear ceiling height and the dock height, even though he had visited the property at least six times. He also claimed the security deposit was prepaid rent and would treat it as such. He refused to pay the rent and hired an attorney to make his case. That is when I contacted Kris Boevingloh.
Kris was congenial and listened to me. He made me feel comfortable. Throughout the process, he was available to answer my questions and concerns. If he was busy, he always returned my calls. I found him to be hard working and diligent. He has a true sense of fairness and I was comfortable with him being my advocate in court.
I have received three rent checks and the situation is getting better. I appreciate Kris’s hard work and honesty. I am happy to recommend him.
Kris has been nothing short of a saving grace in my life while dealing with the multiple situations that have arose in the past year. From the little speeding tickets to bigger issues Kris has been supportive and has always been able to figure out a solution that works best for me. He takes the time to work with you personally and truly cares. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for legal guidance.
I had a case with this lawyer, everything went well, from making payments to staying informed. I would highly recommend them for your case. I am very thankful.
Do yourself justice and hire Boevingloh & Pliakos law firm. They were able to get my case dismissed quick and without any hassle. They are straight forward and professional. They kept me informed, they were very personable, and handled everything with me over the phone and through email. I never had to appear in a court room. Their fee & monthly payment schedule was unquestionably reasonable. I’m very thankful and satisfied with the services they provided for me and I highly recommend them to everyone.
