DEDICATED TO EXCLUSIVELY HELPING INJURY CLIENTS THROUGHOUT MID-MISSOURI.WE'VE HANDLED CAR ACCIDENT AND TRUCK ACCIDENT CASES FOR OVER 50 YEARS.PROUD TO REPRESENT INJURED WORKERS THROUGHOUT MISSOURI.
I am proud to represent people and not corporations. We spend 100% of our time representing injured clients--not diviorce, DWI or criminal clients, as most firms do.
I was born in Kansas City, but grew up in Macon, Missouri, before coming to Columbia for college at Mizzou, the graduating from the University of Missouri School of Law in 1998.
During law school, I clerked at the Hines Law Firm, as I wanted to stay in Columbia to practice, and was hired as an Associate at the Firm in 1998. I was made a Partner in the Firm in 2003, where I practice exclusivley in the areas of personal injury litigation and worker's compnesation. We only represent those who have been injured through no fault of their own, and are able to pick our cases and clients carefully.
I serve on the Board of KIDS' CHANCE of Missouri, a scholarship program for children of workers who were seriously injured or killed on the job. I have also been elected by my peers to serve on the Board of Governors of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys since 2005.
