Defense of malpractice claims has been central to our litigation practice from day one. We are experienced defense counsel, committed to the effective and efficient preparation of our clients’ cases. We have an outstanding success rate on behalf of accountants, architects, attorneys and health care providers (including hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, nurses and dentists). This success has also carried over to municipal officials, police officers and school officials.

Our attorneys are recognized throughout the health care industry as leaders in their field, and many have served as speakers in area health education programs. Some of our attorneys hold advanced degrees in health care and are registered nurses. Plus, one of our attorneys was the first in St. Louis to be certified as a health care mediator by the American Health Lawyers Association.

With this background in place, we have the practical knowledge and proven experience to help protect you and your organization.
