In the Matter of: Lawrence Patrick O'Reilly v. Lauren Patricis O'Reilly

Springfield, Missouri family law lawyers represented the parties in a guardianship case.



Lauren O' Reilly ("O'Reilly") appeals from a judgment appointing her father,

Lawrence O'Reilly ("Respondent") as her guardian after finding her incapacitated. In a

single point, O'Reilly claims the trial court erred by failing to replace Respondent as

emergency guardian ad litem with an "independent guardian ad litem" because it

"affirmatively appeared to the court that [Respondent] had a conflict of interest in

proceeding as the petitioner seeking to impose a guardianship upon [O'Reilly.]"

Because O'Reilly failed to present her argument to the trial court, she has failed to

preserve the point for our review. The trial court's judgment is affirmed.
