Kirk Stange quoted in Ladue News Article on Favorite Legal Movies. “Kirk Stange – I like The Devil’s Advocate with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. It’s kind of a dark movie. Reeves joins a law firm and it turns out his boss, Pacino, is Satan; he has Reeves doing all kind of things that are unethical, and at a certain point, he figures out he’s not such a great guy. The movie is interesting in terms of ethics and keeping things in perspective-that success and monetary wealth are not as important as being a good person.”

Kirk Stange quoted in Ladue News Article titled: “Income Taxes and Divorce”

Stange cautions. “I see a lot of divorces where there’s pressure put on one party by the other to file a joint return when maybe that’s not the best route. I recently had a case like this and the tax return was a gigantic issue. The CPA was jumping up and down saying, Kirk, your client can’t sign that joint return! There’s funny business on it, and I think it’s going to result in them being audited.”

Kirk Stange Quoted in Ladue News Article Titled: “Hot-Button Issues: Legal Outlook”

With somewhere on the order of 40 percent of children in the U.S. born out of wedlock, paternity cases are quickly becoming ‘the 21st century divorce,’ says Kirk Stange of Stange Law Firm. “Because of high divorce rates, more people are not getting married before having kids, and inevitably just like a lot of marriages, some of these relationships fail,” he says. “The parties are left figuring out who gets the child when, and who makes decisions.”


1.1.12

Stange Law Firm “Practice Area of the Month” in Attorney at Law Magazine

“Anyone seeking legal counsel from a family law attorney should come to the table open, honest and fully engaged in protecting their interests,” says Kirk C. Stange of Stange Law Firm, PC. The advice also represents that firm’s corporate philosophy of providing first class service to all clients-by being open, honest and fully engaged in protecting their client’s interests.


11.23.11

Kirk Stange Quoted in Article Titled: “Dissolving Partnerships”

Stange points out that “if it’s a business where you have four or five owners and they are just two of those owners, then it becomes more plausible that they would be able to keep their interests in the business. But people who are married and are running a business together really have to think long and hard about divorce before they go through it. Not only is a family unit divided, but now you’re talking about their business and both their livelihoods being divided, as well.”

8.26.11

Kirk Stange quoted in Ladue News Article titled: Immigration and Divorce

“When we have a client going through a divorce with a non-citizen, our first step is to check if the country is a member of the Hague Convention,” he notes. “If it’s not, we’ve got to move quickly to ensure the parent doesn’t flee. So at the time we file the divorce or the custody case, we immediately file a motion to get the passports. Otherwise, it can turn into a nightmare.”

4.22.11

Kirk Stange quoted in Ladue News Article Titled: Finding the Right Attorney.

“I worry that sometimes there is a belief out there that an aggressive attorney is what a lot of people should look for,” Stange notes. “I think judges are looking for an attorney who can give them an accurate picture of the case. If you’re aggressive all of the time and take positions that are on the fringe, the judges may tune you out over time.” – Kirk Stange
