History
Roland (Ray) Wegmann, born June 6, 1927, a native of St. Louis, Missouri (near north side) was educated in parochial and public schools until entering the U.S. Army Air Force in 1945. In military service Mr. Wegmann taught teletypewriter exchange in Communications. Upon discharge, Mr. Wegmann completed his education at St. Louis University School of Commerce and Finance and graduated from St. Louis University School of Law (class ranking: sixth) in 1953. He served as a member of the editorial staff of the St. Louis University Law Journal. After a year as an associate of the Lusser and Dorsey Law Firm in St. Louis, he took employment at the Western Insurance Companies, Fort Scott, Kansas, as Claims Attorney in St. Louis. He joined the law firm that now bears his name in 1965. (Dearing, Richeson, Weier & Roberts) Mr. Wegmann adapted well to the rural practice of law handling all types of cases, criminal and civil. He has practiced extensively in the field of litigation in both State and Federal Courts. Mr. Wegmann is well respected as an Appellate practitioner having briefed and argued many cases before the State Supreme Court and in the intermediate Appellate Courts. It truly may be said that Mr. Wegmann's almost fifty years at the bar were spent in the general practice of the law. Insisting that he, the firm and its members be known as Lawyers, not simply as attorneys is testimony to Mr. Wegmann's great respect for the practice of law and the pride which flows from the service it entails.
While still active, Mr. Wegmann concentrates his client practice to estate planning with emphasis on non-probate vehicles coupled with tax avoidance or minimization and to commercial transactional matters. Mr. Wegmann with his wealth of legal and practical experience, his years of confronting all manner of legal problems, his understanding the law and its workings and with the wisdom that comes with age is available as Counsel to the firm, its members and clients.
