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
786 Questions Answered
- Q. Seeking guidance on being sued for negligence in house disclosures in Missouri.
- A: Hire an attorney before the case goes very badly for you and a large judgment is entered against you, if that has not already occurred. Writing "not guilty" is not a proper answer to a petition under Missouri's rules of civil procedure. If a default judgment was entered, quickly hire an attorney familiar with how to set aside a default judgment. You'll need to show good cause and a meritorious defense.
- Q. Is my lease void if landlord's mortgage forbids leasing?
- A: It’s void if you or year landlord sue the other one and a court feels it void. Otherwise what you have is an unresolved legal dispute. I’m not aware of a statute on point. My hunch is that the lease would not be deemed void. You’ve been allowed possession and have therefore received something in exchange for your money.
- Q. How to proceed with 10-year-old payday loan judgment in MO?
- A: I’d be shocked if an attorney would file a motion to revive a judgment that was issued more than 10 years before the filing of the motion. It’s the filing date that counts, not the hearing date.
The issues for the court to determine are (1) was the motion to revive the judgment FILED less than 10 years after entry of judgment and (2) has the judgment been fully paid, including 10 years of interest, which has likely doubled the judgment balance.
If you cannot attend court, hire an attorney to appear for you. Also, if any payment appears on the record, such as from a garnishment, that extends the judgment 10 years from payment.
Good luck.
