Ronald Norwood

Throughout my legal career, I have acted as a trial attorney and appellate attorney in state and federal litigation matters throughout the United States, with primary concentrations in Missouri and Illinois. My wide-ranging practice includes representing national and regional banks, mortgage companies, and other financial institutions in a myriad of commercial litigation matters. I represent health insurers, health maintenance organizations, and health care providers in health care litigation disputes. I also represent manufacturers in product liability litigation, consumer fraud claims, and disputes arising under the Uniform Commercial Code. I have extensive experience defending class actions alleging consumer fraud, civil rights violations, ERISA violations and violations of the TCPA and FCRA. I have also served as counsel to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the St. Louis Career Education District, the City of Ferguson, MO and the City of St. Louis, MO. In addition to my civil practice, I represent clients in various federal investigative and federal criminal matters. I am an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association, I have served as an adjunct professor at Washington University in St. Louis and currently serve as an adjunct at the University of Missouri-Columbia, have served as a disciplinary hearing officer for the Missouri Supreme Court, and am a member of the American Law Institute. I have served on the University of Missouri at Columbia School of Law Foundation and Campaign Committees. I was appointed by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to serve on the Harris-Stowe State University Board of Regents and has served on that Board since 2014. I am committed to promoting diversity and inclusion within the Firm as well as within the community, and based on that commitment I serve as Chairman of the Firm's Diversity & Inclusion Committee. I am licensed in the following states: Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. I am admitted in the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S Court of Appeals, 7th and 8th Circuits, U.S. District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri, and U.S. District Court for the Northern and Southern Districts of Illinois.
