Specialty Areas
Missouri Law does not allow attorneys to state that they "specialize" in a given field. This is because Missouri has no "boards" or rules which one must comply with before one is considered a specialist...as the doctors do.

But this does not mean that all attorneys have equal abilities in all fields...and it is obviously true that lawyers who limit their practice to a certain field, will acquire more expertise in that field.

This is the reason that this law firm limits its practice to personal injury...which includes injuries from accidents, automobile collisions, medical malpractice, product defects...and the associated field of employment discrimination, which is also a type of injury.

There are many other good lawyers in Southeast Missouri, but as far as we know, we are the only law firm that so limits its practice. We believe that this gives us an advantage in working before judges and juries and dealing with insurance companies, who recognize our abilities. This results in earlier settlements and larger verdicts.
