One of the best attorneys in St. Louis!!!

I would like to say that Mr. Summary is an awesome attorney and he was a pleasure to work with. He always kept me informed about what was going on and what I could expect going forward. He really helped me and my family out in a very difficult time. I am forever grateful for his services and will def...initely recommend him in the future. Thank you

The BEST there is

Mr Summary is a phenomenal lawyer: Educated, professional, respectful, personable, efficient, trustworthy, diligent, courteous, sincere, and most importantly...from the moment we first spoke to the moment my case was settled, he was dedicated to my case- which ultimately resulted in the most favorabl...e of outcomes for myself. Mr Summary consistently displayed a plethora of knowledge for the legal system, and after watching him in court, it became evident that the " legal system" ( aka prosecutors, the judge) also regard him with high respect as well. Simply put... You want a lawyer whom the prosecutors are willing to negotiate with. I consider myself lucky, had I chosen to hire a different lawyer, I honestly believe that there is high possibility that they wouldn't have produced the same results ( for my case) as Mr Summary had. As a side note, I haven't spoke with Mr Summary in three years, as it was that long ago when he settled my case. I believe this is a point worth mentioning, mainly bc it is clear evidence of the lasting impression he made upon me...and my life. If you're reading Mr Summary's reviews because you are considering to use his services, I can assure you with 100% certainty that Mr summary is the lawyer YOU WANT to have represent you. Mr Summary will not settle, he will work extremely hard and fight your case as if it was his own personal matter. Now that you have found Mr Summary, allow yourself a little relief and hire him..take comfort in knowing that you have found yourself the best lawyer there is. You will be highly impressed and feel extremely thankful that you did.

Legal assistance in Landlord-Tenant case

Mr. Summary assisted me in a landlord-tenant case. He was very professional and competent. My involvement in the case was resolved promptly for a reasonable price with minimal headache for me. I would highly recommend him and plan to use his services for future legal issues.
