Leigh Joy C.

Business Owner

Clients often choose Leigh Joy Carson as their family lawyer because of her reputation as an aggressive, experienced attorney who cares for her clients.

Carson, a Chicago native, decided while attending the Saint Louis University School of Law that St. Louis was the place she’d like to call home. In 1986, after graduating, Carson accepted a prestigious clerkship with Judge Carl R. Gaertner of the Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals.

After her clerkship ended, Carson joined Bryan Cave, the largest law firm in St. Louis, as an associate.

Having laid down a strong foundation early in her legal career, Carson moved to Love Lacks & Paule, a boutique firm with a strong family law practice.

In 1995 she established her own firm in Clayton. In the 19 years since she has enjoyed a thriving practice, representing spouses and parents, as well as numerous children through guardian ad litem appointments.
