About Jonathan

          Life has taught me there is no substitute for empathy, experience, and hard work in the fight for the rights of the client.  Upon entering private practice, I surrounded myself with a tightly knit group of trial attorneys with over 200 years of combined legal experience. Since then, I have dedicated my career to achieving favorable results for each and every one of my clients. 

          In every case I handle, I strive to develop a personal relationship with my client so that I can fully understand the ramifications of their legal issues on their every day lives.   This knowledge creates a profound sense of duty to my clients and their interests.

          Before creating the McAllister Law Firm, I spent most of my legal career in public service, working for both the Saint Louis County Prosecutors office and the Saint Louis County Public Defenders office.  Not only have these experiences allowed me to cultivate healthy relationships with a variety of prosecutors and judges, they have also provided me with a unique perspective that enables me to aggressively and effectively pursue justice and truth for all of my clients. 

          At the McAllister Law Firm, our mission is the Combining and applying of all these principals to the fullest of our abilities to make things right for each and every client.

    Review Jonathan McAllister

    Works hard even for small claims

    Posted by

    Jon was super helpful in helping me getting my small claim resolved quickly for its full value. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is unsure if they were wronged, or uncertain about whether a small claim is worth pursuing.

    Very good for being a fresh Attorney at Law

    Posted by

    Jonathan is a very good and upstanding attorney in my view. My son was in an accident after medical cost and everything he waled away with about 6200.00. Jonathan kept look and found a way to come up with another 11,000.00 so yes I think he did a FINE job for us. If I ever need a personal injury lawyer again the only person I will call in the McAllister Law. THANK YOU Jonathan.

    Excellent Service and Very Trustworthy
