About
- Although not born in Saint Louis, I’ve lived here for over forty-five years, and consider myself a Saint Louisan
- I’m a graduate of Washington University–Olin School of Business, and Saint Louis University – School of Law
- And in case you, too, are a Saint Louisan, I graduated from Parkway Central Senior High School
- Unlike most of my contemporaries, I did not go directly to law school upon graduating from college
- I spent five years as an Engineer Planner at McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing), managing multimillion-dollar engineering development programs for the United States military and its allies
- Complying with the demanding requirements of government requests for proposals and contractual reporting more than prepared me for the rigors of the law
- It helped me to hone the business sense to not merely identify potential problems/roadblocks, but to actually craft effective solutions, which is precisely how BUSINESS gets done.Trial Lawyer Experience I began my legal career as a trial attorney at sizable firms, including one of the oldest insurance defense firms in Saint Louis, as well as the local office of a large international firm out of Chicago
- While there, I engaged in every aspect of litigation, from Pre-Trial Discovery and Dispositive Motion practice up to and including First Chair Jury Trials and Appellate Argument before the Missouri and Federal Courts of Appeal.Business-Oriented Practice While initially a litigator, I have spent most of my thirty-plus years practicing law representing businesses, large and small
- Due to my business background, I deliberately transitioned to representing businesses, particularly regarding employment and contractual matters
- In so doing, I’ve assisted businesses from small start-ups to large regional enterprises and Fortune 500 companies including 3M, American Airlines, American Red Cross, AT&T, Boeing, Boy Scouts of America, CIGNA, Dierberg’s, Dr Pepper/7 Up, Edward Jones, EMC Corp, FedEx, Frito-Lay, Hallmark, JB Hunt, JPMorgan Chase, LabCorp, Marriott Int’l, PPG, Starbucks, Truman Medical Center, Unilever, UnitedHealth, Walmart, Walgreens, Waste Mgt and YMCA
- Through Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Rating™, my fellow lawyers have assigned me a 5.0 out of 5.0 AV Preeminent Rating – the highest rating available
- After all, that is how BUSINESS gets done!
