Biography
I have represented hundred of parties, both plaintiffs and defendants, in lawsuits in state and federal courts. My favorite cases are class actions under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) targeting senders of annoying and illegal junk faxes, robocalls, and text messages. I have litigated more than 175 class action lawsuits and been appointed as Class Counsel multiple times. Class actions are great way to level the playing field between consumers and large corporations.
Among my many other practice areas are contracts, collections, landlord tenant law, and foreign judgment registration. I am frequently hired by tenants who wish to keep their old, resolved judgments from continuing to show up on the court's website and preventing them from obtaining housing.
Outside of my law practice, I am an avid marathon runner, having completed more than 50 marathons, including running 100 miles in less than 24 hours, and I also enjoy fishing and global travel.

Legal Answers
762 Questions Answered
- Q. Is a garnishment legal if the paperwork was not physically served to the one being garnished and the garnishee?
- A: The garnishee (employer) must answer the interrogatories. I see no reason while your employer would want to spend money challenging the propriety of service. You are free to file a motion to quash the garnishment and schedule a motion hearing but my hunch is that you’ll lose. Even if the garnishment is quashed, the garnishor may file a new garnishment.
- Q. Does a handshake contract of me keeping a business running until it’s sold for compensation of $100,000 stand up in cour
- A: In general, under Missouri law, contracts may be oral. In general, it is easier to enforce written contracts because if both sides sign, the terms are those of the document. There is an exception to the rule. Certain contracts must be in writing. It’s called the “statute of frauds”. Enough money is at issue that it would be wise to meet with an attorney to go over the facts and provide you with legal advice and options.
- Q. Can I sue a surgeon who messed up my shoulder surgeries and then neglected my care to the point of disability.
- A: I am sorry to hear about your situation.
If the statute of limitations has not yet passed, you may sue for negligence. Medical lawsuits are difficult and expensive. Attorneys who take these cases generally do so on a contingency basis, investing their own time and money into a case and get paid if money is collected through settlement or a judgment. I encourage you to contact an attorney experienced in this area of law. Attorneys may not solicit through Justia, so you'll need to reach out directly.
