I grew up in a family where cases were dinner table conversation and clients were in our nightly prayers. My dad, Don, built this firm in 1981 and tried hundreds of cases across Missouri. My sister Toni is my law partner. Trial work isn't something we fell into — it's what we were built for.Over 15 years, I've tried 30+ jury trials in four different states and federal court across trucking, auto, medical malpractice, premises liability, wrongful death, and more. We keep our caseload intentionally small and prepare as if it's going to trial, because it might.Here's what that preparation has produced:• $37.5M product liability settlement• $24M+ wrongful death and injury trucking settlement• $20M verdict — wrongful death trucking case• $15M product liability settlement• $7M settlement - commercial vehicle• $6.5M settlement• 24 combined verdicts and settlements of 7 and 8 figures in the last five years. Here's what clients have said:"They treated us like family from day one… always available, always fighting, and never backed down from the insurance company.""I felt like they truly cared about our case and our future. They guided us through everything and stood up for us when we couldn't.""The level of preparation and dedication was incredible. They were ready for trial from the start, and it showed in the outcome."My dad always said: if you're in for an ounce, you're in for a pound. That means when we take a case, we're all in — regardless of its size or complexity. While I am proud of the firm's successes, I am acutely aware that those successes have come from an individual's or family's tragedy. I have continued the tradition my parents started of praying for our clients nightly with my wife and children. It is a privilege to represent those who come to our firm for help.If you or your family has been seriously injured, call us at (314) 241-0763 or send me a message here on LinkedIn.
