Sixteen Lashly & Baer Attorneys Named to 2025 Best Lawyers® Lists

Lashly & Baer, P.C. is also pleased to announce that 3 lawyers have been included in the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch^® in America.

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes associates and other lawyers who are earlier in their careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.

Lawyers recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America are divided by geographic region and practice areas. Candidates can only be considered for one recognition at a time, either “Ones to Watch” or traditional Best Lawyers awards. “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to “The Best Lawyers” and all hopeful candidates must be nominated, vetted by their peers and undergo an authentication process before they are recognized by Best Lawyers. Lawyers are not required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular distinction.

Lashly & Baer, P.C. would like to congratulate the following lawyers recognized in the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America:

• Richard W. Hill III – Business Organizations (including LLCs and Partnerships)
• Scott Pummell – Business Organizations (including LLCs and Partnerships) and Commercial Litigation
• Alexandra C. Wells – Transportation Law

Lashly & Baer is a mid-size Missouri law firm with deep roots in St. Louis and surrounding areas including Belleville, Illinois. As a full-service firm, we’ve been fortunate to develop a very diversified and extremely loyal base of local, regional and national clients. Our clients have learned to expect a high level of service and a great degree of satisfaction, regardless of their size.

Whether it’s a private business, a government institution, a hospital or an individual – to each client, there is no more important legal matter than theirs. We know this and work hard to achieve results and help our clients reach their goals.

Given the complexities of today’s business environment, lawyers develop experience in specific practice areas, such as; bankruptcy, corporate, education, estate planning, government, health care, labor and employment, litigation, medical malpractice defense, personal injury, product liability and toxic tort, professional liability, real estate and transportation. Our practice area groups allow these attorneys to team up with trusted partners with a similar passion.

Since 1912 we’ve added attorneys and developed practices; but our simple philosophy has never changed: at the core of every case is the client. We worry about only two things; the client’s best interest – and the law. The client’s goals become our goals, and the firm works tirelessly to find the most efficient and cost-effective solution to each legal issue.
