 What is your profession and why did you choose it?
  • I am an Elder Law and Estate Planning Attorney. I chose estate planning because
I enjoy helping people have a game plan for the unexpected and expected events of life.
People work hard and need peace of mind that their choices will be followed. I chose Elder
Law because I want to advocate for Seniors and people with disabilities. They require
special care and it's satisfying to help them with their unique estate planning needs.
How long have you owned your own business?
  • I started practicing law in St. Louis in 1992. Tucker Legal Services is a re-branding of my law firm after I married a Tucker.
What inspired you to own your own business?
  • My mom and dad always encouraged me to go for my dreams. I wanted to be my
own boss. With hard work and their encouragement, I decided to take a risk,make
that leap and hang my law shingle to start my own business.
What might someone be surprised to know about you?
  • I used to ride and jump dirt bikes--that might surprise people. One day I realized that if I wrecked when catching air on a good jump, it would be difficult chasing after my three children.
Do you have a hobby, play a sport, or have any special interests?
  • I'm into photography, golf, and cycling.
What job would you be terrible at?
  • Nursing - hats off to them, especially now- I couldn't do it.
Who has impressed you most with what they've accomplished?
  • Two women: Mother Theresa of Calcutta because of all her work with the poor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg because she broke the glass ceiling for women in law.
Where is the most interesting place you have visited?
  • Napa Valley, California. The cuisine, wine, and ambiance is fantastic!
Do you have any advice based on your area of expertise?
  • Estate planning and Elder law is not an add-on practice or just filling out forms. It's more complex and intertwines with areas such as tax law. Keep sharpening your saw. In addition, build long-term relationships with your clients and your network of referral partners.
If you could work anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
  • I keep choosing it-Right here in St. Louis, Missouri.
How has working in a shared work space influenced your business?
  • My clients really like coming to the office. They complement the staff about their friendliness. Because my clients feel positive, that helps business. Because the people are professional and the place looks great-it sets a good impression and that helps business too.
What is your favorite restaurant from the St. Louis area?
  • Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurant
What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
  • Take a chance and do something out of your comfort zone-it can change
lives-even your own.
Who's your go to band or artist when you can't decide on something to listen to?
  • Ray LaMontagne

Read below for a few St. Louis based events, attractions, and more to make your summer fun-filled. Be sure to check their websites before heading out to explore.

Events: 
  • Let Them Eat Art-City of Maplewood has a new date of August 21, 2020. This is a great event for art enthusiasts to celebrate Bastille Day. When you go, there will be live art demonstrations by regional artists, live music, and great local food and drink. 
                                          http://www.cityofmaplewood.com/575/Let-Them-Eat-Art
  • The Chesterfield Music and Arts Festival is a fantastic place to take the family to “enjoy major concerts, fine art displays, a classic car show, a custom motorcycle show, and dozens of fun attractions and highlights” according to their website. The two-day event is scheduled for September 5-6 from 11 am to 9 pm at the Chesterfield Amphitheater in Chesterfield, MO.

Attractions: 
  • The St. Louis Zoo is one of my all-time favorite places to go in the area. They are continually updating the animal enclosures to give you a better experience. The Zoo plans on reopening on June 13, 2020, with safety guidelines such as reservations and wearing face masks for anyone over the age of nine. You can see more of what they have planned on their website along with making your reservation!

  • The St. Louis Science Center has always been a staple in my summer plans when my kids were younger. They plan to reopen on June 20, 2020, following similar guidelines as the Zoo. Reservations for specific times will need to be made, their hours will be reduced, anyone nine years of age and older will be required to wear a face mask and they will have one-way walking paths to help with social distancing. Visit their websites to make reservations and to check out their many exhibits.

  • The Missouri Botanical Gardens is such a peaceful place to spend the day! At this time, they have plans to reopen on June 16, 2020. To visit you will need reservations along with following social distancing.

  • The City Museum is a fantastic place for those who love a little adventure. With all of their different wings, it is a new experience at each turn! At this time they do not have a date to reopen but will be updating their website with the details for the return of visitors. 
                                         https://www.citymuseum.org/covid-19-update/
  • The St. Louis Art Museum is a free attraction that is a notable place to visit in Forest Park. Their mission has always been to collect and display the highest quality art from many cultures and periods that will educate, inspire, and preserve legacies. The museum plans to reopen its doors on June 16 with restrictions in place to comply with the CDC and state health and safety recommendations. Visit their website to find out information about the restrictions along with exhibits that are available now.

Theaters and Concert Venues:
  • William Fox opened The Fabulous Fox Theater in January of 1929 highlighting movie premieres, great stage attractions, and special events. With its 90 foot grand lobby and rows of columns, the theater is a beautifully blended mix of Moorish, far Eastern, Egyptian, Babylonian and Indian themes of various periods. The Fox Theater has so far canceled only two summer shows, Gladys Night and John Fogerty. Their first show, Mean Girls, is still on the schedule to open September 22, 2020. 
                                                 https://www.fabulousfox.com/
  • This year will be a sad year for music lovers everywhere with the current global pandemic making the future for social gatherings uncertain. The Pageant, Delmar Hall, Blueberry Hill Duck Room, The Sheldon, and the Stiefel Theater have currently postponed or canceled their shows. As of now there are still concerts happening at the Hollywood Amphitheater in Maryland Heights. Their first show is Luke Bryan on July 12, which was postponed from its original May date. The website below does give information on how to get refunds for tickets but there are limited windows.
                                  https://www.facebook.com/HollywoodAmpSTL/timeline
                                  https://www.thepageant.com/coronavirus-updates/
  • The Muny had plans of reopening on June 20, 2020, to run five of their seven originally planned shows for the 2020 season. However, they updated their website stating that for the safety of not only guests but also the players and staff themselves they were not going to have a season this year for the first time in 102 years. Follow the link below for more information regarding ticket refunds and more.
                                     https://muny.org/2020-season-update/

While it may be exciting to get out of the house and do something with the family, always be sure you are following the attraction and event guidelines for proper health and safety. This will ensure that these places will remain open to the public and keep their staff and guests protected.
