Robert Boedeker
The Center for Family Law
Robert Boedeker joined the Center for Family Law in 2025 as an attorney of counsel after 14 years of practicing family law in the private and non-profit sectors. In the last ten of those years, he worked exclusively with survivors of domestic violence, providing trauma-informed representation in complex cases. His practice focuses on divorce and paternity cases, child custody and child support cases, motions to modify, orders of protection and mediation in St. Louis County, St. Louis City, St. Charles County, and Jefferson County.
After receiving his law license in 2011, he worked at US Legal Solutions, LLC, an immigration and civil firm in St. Louis County, doing family law and mediation cases. In 2015 he joined Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, Inc. as a staff attorney in the Lasting Solutions Family Law Program and in 2017 became co-manager of that program.
Before law school, he lived in West Africa doing humanitarian relief work with Jesuit Refugee Service and in North St. Louis City helping run a shelter for homeless women and children. He graduated from Coe College in 2003 with a BA in French and Sociology. Robert was born and raised mostly in St. Louis City and currently resides in North St. Louis County with his wife and three young children.
