Ok - so there is no one answer to this question.  In fact, the answers will always depend upon the area of law you are asking about.  However, I'm PROUD to say that I and the members of my firm were recently featured in a pictorial in St. Louis Magazine's 2009 Best Lawyers in St. Louis Edition.

I limit my practice soley to injury law.  That means if you come to me asking for help with a divorce or will, I will send you to someone else (but I probably do know the right people to send you to).  As a St. Louis Injury Lawyer, I focus my practice specifically on workers compensation and other injury cases such as car accidents, semi-truck accidents, dog bites, slip-and-falls, etc.  Bottom line, if you were hurt because of someone else's stupidity or hurt at work, then I'm probably the guy to call. 

And I always get this question - but yes, I do handle cases throughout ALL of Missouri and Illinois. 

In any event, I had to brag a little as I'm awfully proud of our law firm that the lawyers I practice with.  We look forward to continue kicking the pants off the insurance companies throughout 2009!
