Case Overview
Artrea Moore is the mother of Anthony Moore, Jr. Anthony has cerebral palsy and, for years, Ms. Moore has cared for him and served as his guardian. Recently, Ms. Moore faced her own health challenges and decided it was in Anthony’s best interest that she transfer guardianship of him from herself to Erica Dunlap, her daughter and Anthony’s sister.
How 麻豆十三女郎 Helped
Ms. Moore met with 麻豆十三女郎 attorneys through our Pro Bono Legal Intake Clinic at the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis. After engaging Ms. Moore, the attorney team of Mary Grace Warren and Tanya Maerz worked together to secure a waiver of court fees, draft the petition for the transfer of guardianship, and obtain the transfer without a hearing.
