“While it's not difficult to find an attorney, finding the “right” attorney with the right experience and track record isn't always easy. During my career, I have tried 140 jury trials to verdict and 40 bench trials to judgment. My cases have been consistently recognized by Missouri Lawyers Weekly in their listing of Top Defendant's Verdicts in the state. I've been selected by my peers for inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America, and Best Lawyers has awarded me with the 2015 and 2019 St. Louis Insurance Law “Lawyer of the Year.” I’m honored to be recognized, but I’m most proud of the successes I’ve achieved for my clients and the relationships I’ve built while serving them.”
