Biography
I have been a practicing attorney since June 4, 1979. During that period of time I have practiced in all areas of the law, except federal taxation. I’ve handled criminal misdemeanors and felonies. I’ve conducted civil litigation, prepared wills, filed estates, drafted contracts, acted as a mediator, acted as guardian ad litem, conducted discovery, prepared for trial, conducted trials, filed appeals before the Eastern District Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri. I have handled administrative appeals before the Social Security Administration and state administrative agencies. I have presented for zoning hearings and filed the appeal from those zoning hearings.
Literally, there is virtually nothing that I haven’t done in the practice of law at one time or another in the last 38 years.
