About Steven
Biography
After graduating from St.Louis Universtiy School of Law in 1986, I handled predominantly criminal defense matters for the first 2-3 years logging 17 jury trials over that period. Starting in 1989, I began handling personal injury claims throughout Missouri and Illinois quickly finding myself litigating claims for my clients. Since forming my firm with my partners, Gary Kullmann and Andy Klein, the majority of my practice has been focused at a trial attorney representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligence of others as well as individuals who have suffered significant physical injuries and economic harms and losses through no fault of their own
