Bart Augustin Marcules, Immigration Attorney
218 S. Main Street, Suite 2, Joplin, MO 64801

Biography:	After I graduated from law school I entered the U.S. Coast Guard as a JAG officer. I served four years in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Eighth Coast Guard District which covered 26 states including Missouri. I was also the JAG Officer sent to St. Louis, Missouri to setup the coast guard command center for Hurricane Katrina and dealt with all the legal issues that arose out of that incident until the legal department could be reestablished. I then left the uniformed side of the Coast Guard and became a civilian Coast Guard Bridge Management Specialist. As a Bridge person I ensured bridge laws, regulations, and orders were followed; provided advice concerning bridge construction, modification, alteration, and drawbridge regulation projects; drafted regulations; verify bridge applicants' environmental assessments or environmental impact statements to ensure compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act; and prepared categorical exclusions, findings of no significant impact, and environmental assessments. Currently, I opened the Bart Marcules Law Firm, LLC. on February 2010 and based on my past experience I selected my Areas of Practice based on what I enjoyed doing the most in my past jobs.
