Mense Law Firm, LLC is a lawyer in Washington, MO, focusing on elder law and issues relating to elder care, with additional offices in Warrenton, Missouri. The firm serves clients across Warren, Lincoln, Montgomery, St. Charles and Franklin Counties.

The firm holds a rating of 4.50 based on customer reviews.

Founder and Lead Attorney Brian Mense established the firm after his own family's experience searching for answers as his parents faced health challenges while aging. He earned his law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law. The practice concentrates on three stages of life: today, tomorrow, and after death, and on the legal issues affecting each phase, including transferring assets such as homes, businesses and farms, affording long-term care, and identifying additional sources of money to help with medical expenses. The firm's Foundation Package contains the basic planning documents every person over the age of 18 should have. Its Medicaid planning work helps families protect assets in the event someone must enter a nursing home, and its special needs planning helps families meet legal guidelines so a special needs child does not lose State or Federal benefits.

The Washington office sits on High St, about 0.1 miles from the Iron Spike Model Train Museum and roughly 0.3 miles from Four Rivers Career Center and St. Francis Borgia Regional High School. Busch Creek runs about 0.3 to 0.4 miles away, and Mercy Corporate Health is about 0.5 miles from the office.

The firm is a family operation: Brian Mense's wife and two children supported his return to law school, and the team includes Denise, the Office Manager, and Candace and Danielle, Legal Assistants. Clients are treated as part of that family, with the firm sitting down to ask questions, listen, and develop solutions tailored to each client's goals. That approach to elder law and estate planning is what the firm brings to families in Washington and the surrounding Missouri counties.
