Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

I am a partner in the law firm Thurman, Howald, Weber, Senkel & Norrick. I am a 1999 graduate of the University of Missouri School of Law, where I was an editor of the school sponsored Missouri Environmental Law and Policy Review. My practice concentrates in the areas of Domestic Relations, including paternity, child support, mediation and juvenile matters; along with general civil matters mainly devoted to real estate and collection matters.

As an Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorney, I provide comprehensive legal counsel and practical advice regarding your estate planning, as well as the documents that are necessary to protect you and your loved ones. These documents can include Wills, Trusts, Supplemental Needs/Special Needs Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills (end-of-life wishes), Beneficiary Deeds, Beneficiary Designations, as well as other documents. Documents are customized to your needs and wishes.

Although probate often can be avoided, I also handle probate matters when it is necessary for an estate to go through probate.

My experiences helping to care for my mother during her 16 years of decline due to Alzheimer's disease, dealing with my father's last illness and death, and handling financial and legal matters for my mother after my father died, provide me with personal, as well as practical, insights and perspectives that I bring to my Estate Planning and Elder Law practice.

My other areas of practice include Adoptions, Name Changes, Real Estate, and Security Clearance Appeals, as well as other matters on a case-by-case.

My law firm provides individualized friendly service, with attention to detail. Each client is a person, not a case. Telephone calls usually are returned by my paralegal or by me the same day, but no later than the next business day. Free notary services are provided for established clients. My office is wheelchair-accessible.

I have been a consistent advocate throughout my career for civil rights, civil liberties, and justice for all. I have over a quarter-century of experience as an attorney representing lesbian, gay, and transgender persons, and advocating for LGBT rights.

I graduated cum laude from St. Louis University Law School (1974), and from Swarthmore College with Honors (1970). I founded my law firm in 1987, after six years as an attorney in Legal Services, and six years in a private practice partnership.

The firm's paralegal, Linda J. Lewis, has been employed by the firm since 1995. She has an Associates Degree in Applied Science - Legal Assistant (St. Louis Community College, 1994), and a B.A. in Criminology and Criminal Justice (University of Missouri-St. Louis, 1994).

See the "Practice Areas" section of my website for a description of each of my current areas of practice. Click on the "Arlene Zarembka" link under the "Attorney" section of my website for more details about my education, experience, memberships, advocacy, and awards.

My office is conveniently located in St. Louis County, Missouri, one-half block from the Clayton MetroLink station, and across the street from the Clayton MetroBus station.
