Kayte E. Rossi

Attorney

I bring energy and passion to everything I do. I have a deep sense of what is fair and just, and I always sought to contribute to the world and community around me. In college, I was once told that I could convince others of almost anything because the way I fight for things I cared about was in a way that brought others along with me. Being a lawyer allows me to continue to work as an advocate with and for others. 

Lawyer Bio

I am a St. Louis native. I grew up in the city in The Hill Neighborhood, attended Nerinx Hall for high school, and after going away to college at Loyola University New Orleans, I returned to St. Louis to attend law school.  

I live in Shaw Neighborhood with my husband and our son. When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, gardening (in my opinion, you can never have enough plants – indoor or outdoor), working out, rummaging through various antique stores, and spending time with my friends and family.

Journey to Family Law

I graduated from St. Louis University School of Law in 2011. Unlike others in my field who had always wanted to work in family law, I did not seek it out initially. In fact, during law school I thought I wanted to be a public defender. Thankfully, in early 2012, family law found me while I was working as a volunteer lawyer at Legal Services of Eastern Missouri. Family law comprises everything I love about being an attorney – I get to work with real people addressing real problems that impact their lives every day and provide options for solutions to those problems. Prior to joining Jones Family Law Group, LLC in 2017, I had my own solo practice.

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
