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
777 Questions Answered
- Q. Disclosure of subpoena names and deposition locations in MO personal injury case
- A: My recommendation is that you hire an attorney. PI cases are complicated. Attorneys who practice this area of law do so on a contingency basis. If you have a solid case and significant damages you should be able to find an attorney. If you have contacted many PI attorneys and none will take the case on a contingency, that may be a sign. To answer your question, yes, you must give notice to the other side if you are scheduling a deposition. You need to read, understand, and comply with the rules of civil procedure. Most pro se litigants fail to read, understand, and comply with the rules and therefore lose, not so much on the merits, but for failing to comply.

- Q. Is it a breach of contract if Truhold.com didn't make promised repairs?
- A: If you want an legal opinion on whether a landlord has breached a written contract, I suggest you hire a local landlord-tenant attorney to read the lease and provide a consultation.
Assuming they breached the contract, however, you could sue for damages incurred. If the lease has ended and you refuse to vacate, expect to get sued and lose.
Best wishes in avoiding litigation.
- Q. "I would like to know if I can sue for defamation.
- A: You certainly may sue for defamation. Some considerations are:
1. Can you identify the defendant and locate the person? You'll need to get a summons served for the court to acquire jurisdiction.
2. Are you willing and able to spend thousands of dollars litigating? If you need to subpoena Facebook to obtain the identity or IP address used by the defendant when posting, that will be expensive. If you can only get the IP address then you'll need to subpoena the service provider for the account used. That will be expensive too.
3. Can you prove actual damages? Defamation cases are difficult under Missouri law.
4. If you obtain a judgment, will it be collectible? Does the ... Read More
