Emily Latiolais

Attorney

I am a St. Louis-area native and after spending thirteen years living and working in southern Louisiana, it was time to return home. I am a devoted attorney and practiced mediator with a proven track record of obtaining favorable outcomes through cooperative conflict resolution. I received my undergraduate degree from Loyola University New Orleans, and I went on to attend Loyola University of New Orleans College of Law. I am licensed to practice law in the States of Missouri, Louisiana, and Illinois. Moving to St. Louis has proven to be a great choice for my myself, my husband, and our two dogs. You might find us walking the streets of Webster or exploring one of Missouri’s state parks on any given weekend.

In case you are wondering how to pronounce my very Cajun-French last name that my husband has graced me with: Latch-oh-lay.

Journey To Family Law

I have always been called to family law and domestic relations. In law school, I took every family law elective possible and practiced as a student attorney in the family law clinic, which offered services to those who could not afford it or who required court-appointed attorneys. After graduating law school, I took a position at a large personal injury firm and realized that not all practices of law are equivalent. Family law is for me, and I quickly found my way back to it. I enjoy this area of law because I see the real-time, real-life impact it has in my clients’ lives. Every case is different, and every client deserves a tailored approach. I happily joined Jones Family Law Group after several years of solo practice, where I worked diligently and empathetically to serve people from all walks of life. I bring the same compassion and dedication to the clients of Jones Family Law Group.

Testimonials

I fully and without hesitation recommend Stephanie, Sarah, and the whole team to anyone needing a family law firm. They are meticulous, diligent, hard-working, and compassionate. They take time to understand the details of each case and situation, striving for the best outcomes for their clients. Jones Family Law took the time to explain and talk through all choices and options so I could do what was best for my family in both the immediate and long term. During a very difficult time in my life, I knew I had sound and competent representation from people who truly care about the work they do.

Testimonials

I was refereed to Sarah Wittrock by a friend who is an attorney, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I felt as if she and her team always did their due diligence with keeping me in the loop and up to date with any changes. Going through a divorce is a difficult enough without having to deal with all of the legal headache. Hiring Sarah was the best money that I have spent this year, and should anything come up in the future, I know who I can call. Great working with the Jones Family Law Group, LLC!!!

Testimonials

I am very grateful for the legal services and results I received from

Jones Family Law in my divorce case. Stephanie Jones is an outstanding, hard working, professional, and trustworthy attorney who I cannot say enough about. She has come through for me and my children during a very difficult time. Stephanie promised to stick with me through thick and thin and held true to that promise even in the midst of a chaotic and complicated case and trial. Kate Rossi also worked very hard representing me extraordinarily during this time and Megan Leesman, is a diligent and supportive paralegal who is great at what she does. They all work great together and made me feel as though I had an entire team in my corner fighting for us.

Anyone with a complicated family law matter would be blessed to have Jones Family Law on their side.

Testimonials

Sarah Wittrock is an exceptional family collaborative lawyer. She is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable in uncomfortable family law. I have used Sarah for 5 plus years.

Testimonials

Sarah was amazing. Made a very difficult time much easier, and made me feel like our interactions were the most important thing she was doing that day.
