On a sultry afternoon in August of 2000, Jason Call and Chip Gentry shook hands for the very first time. Chip was a lawyer at a Jefferson City law firm and Jason was just returning to his home town after practicing law in St. Louis for several years. A lasting friendship was built upon that first handshake, and was solidified by common interests, mutual respect, a love of competition, and the joy of comradery.
These same qualities provide the inspiration for Call and Gentry Law Group. Our attorneys and staff work together in an atmosphere that is collegial and inviting and share a commitment to excellence and "outside the box" thinking as we serve our clients' needs.
Along with Jason and Chip, our team of attorneys includes long time friend and mentor Paul Graham, who serves of counsel, and our good friend Blake Markus, an associate with the firm. Dedicated and experienced legal assistants Sheila Schill and Susan Draffen provide exceptional and knowledable legal support and ensure timely and responsive communication with our clients.
If you need a lawyer, then email or call us today and let us show you how our team approach and client service are beyond ordinary.

Chip is a talented attorney who has mastered the knack of making difficult subject matter understandable and for juries and others; he is both approachable and strong in his dealings with opponents. I heartily endorse Chip.
Patrick Devine, Construction and development Attorney on Sep 23, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I am a lawyer myself and have worked with Chip Gentry on more than one occasion in which Chip was serving as corporate counsel to the client while I was representing the client as retained counsel. Based upon our time spent working together for the client, I would just like to express my opinions about the quality of his legal acumen. Chip is not only an intellligent and experienced lawyer with sharp instincts and keen legal analysis, he takes the time to truly know and understand his clients. He spends the time to learn about his clients' needs, but also learns their business and develops an understanding of their industry. This gives Chip an edge that's not common in today's fast-paced legal business. Chip is a credit to our profession and a standout. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
