Meet our Attorneys - Ron Carpenter
My name is Ronald K. Carpenter and I was born in Ventura, California, on November 4, 1948. I lived in southern California until 1959 when my parents purchased a small resort on the Glaize Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. My parents were unhappy with the smog and congestion in southern California and since they were both born in Missouri it felt natural to return to their roots.
I attended the Camdenton R-III School system in 1959 and graduated from high school in 1966. I attended the University of Missouri from 1966 to 1973 receiving my B.S. in Forestry in 1971 and my Juris Doctor in 1973.
Immediately out of law school I worked for one year in the Office of the Public Defender for the 20th Judicial Circuit west of St. Louis. On June 6, 1974, I began working for the law firm of Phillips, McElyea, Carpenter, & Welch, P.C. and I have been with the law firm now for 39 years.
My practice is concentrated in the areas of estate planning, business organizations, general real estate law and real estate development, probate administration, including guardianships and conservatorships, and civil litigation revolving around these areas of practice.
I married my high school sweetheart, Jo, on January 25, 1969, and we have now been married 43 years. We have two children, Amy and Doug, and three grandchildren.
My interests outside the office include golf, Mizzou Tiger sports, reading and spoiling my grandchildren.
I am active in several civic and community organizations including the Camdenton R-III Education Foundation (Past President of the Board of Directors), Dogwood Animal Shelter (President from 1976 to 2001), Camdenton Laker Athletic Boosters Organization, Camdenton Rotary Club, and Camden County Chapter of the University of Missouri Alumni Association.
I am also a member of the following professional organizations: Camden County Bar Association, 26th Judicial Circuit Bench & Bar Association and the Missouri Bar Association.
