The Firm is proud of Ann Bauer for this recognition by Best Lawyers. Ann was named 2024"Lawyer of the Year" in the area of collaborative family law practice in St. Louis.

In 2023, the firm bid farewell to attorneys Penny Robinson and Alan Zvibleman, and we cannot help but feel a mixture of emotions. It is indeed a bittersweet moment for our firm and all those who have worked with these family law champions. Penny and Alan have been an integral part of our firm, dedicating their time, expertise, and compassion to those in need of their guidance and support. Their commitment to ensuring the best possible outcomes for families facing difficult situations has been unparalleled. Their passion for family law and unwavering dedication to their clients have impacted our firm and the legal community as a whole. Alan has been practicing law since 1979. He worked at Capes Sokol for 15 years, before joining The Center for Family Law in 2013. Alan is a skilled family law litigator, mediator, and collaborative divorce practitioner. He is an American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) fellow and served as Missouri AAML chapter president from 2016 to 2018. In 2016, he was selected as “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in the area of family law in St. Louis. Penny has been practicing law since 1991. Penny worked at Zerman Mogerman LLC as a family law attorney for 17 years, before joining The Center for Family Law in 2019. Penny is an excellent family law attorney, mediator, collaborative divorce practitioner, and Guardian ad Litem. Penny was a devoted and active member of the Collaborative Family Law Association of St. Louis. Their departure marks the end of an era, and we are truly grateful for the legacy they leave behind. The wealth of knowledge and experience they have shared with their colleagues and mentees will continue to shape the future of our firm and the field of family law. As we say goodbye to Penny and Alan, this year we also welcomed two new legal minds to our team—Lucy Weilbacher, a 2022 SLU Law graduate, and Beth Lewandowski, a seasoned family law attorney with over 20 years of experience. We are excited to see how their unique skills and perspectives will further enhance our ability to serve our clients and advocate for their best interests. Although it is difficult to bid farewell to Penny and Alan, the next chapter in our firm’s history promises new opportunities and fresh perspectives as we continue our mission to provide exceptional legal representation to families.
