Choice of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based solely upon a website or advertisement. In reviewing achievements by the firm or attorneys remember that past results afford no guarantee of future results; each matter is different and must be judged on its own merits. And, although our attorneys practice in subject areas, neither the Supreme Court of Missouri nor The Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialty designations for Missouri licensed lawyers.
