About Dustin

I practice personal injury, workers' compensation, criminal defense and family law in Dexter, Missouri and the surrounding Southeast Missouri area. My office is located in Dexter, Missouri where I was born and raised.  

 

After graduating from law school I worked as an assistant attorney general for the Missouri Attorney General’s Office in St. Louis.  I served in the labor division representing the State in workers’ compensation cases and defending the second injury fund.  After leaving the Attorney General’s Office I was hired by the Pemiscot County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as an assistant prosecuting attorney.  I was able to first chair multiple jury trials in felony cases including robbery in the first degree, armed criminal action, assault in the first degree and other felony cases.

Dustin is one of the hardest working attorneys I know. He is honest, diligent, and smart. If I ever needed someone to represent a family member in southeast Missouri, Dustin would be that attorney.
