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
775 Questions Answered
- 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
- Q. How to remove satisfied judgments from my record in MO?
- A: If you are not a party to a case, you don't have standing to file anything. If you are a party to a case and the judgment has been satisfied, Missouri Supreme Court Rule 74.11, is relevant. There is also a statute. Mo. Rev Stat § 511.570. If the judgment was satisfied by execution, however, the statute doesn't apply.
The other issue you mention pertains to raising the security level on Casenet. Some people refer to "expunging" the record, but expungement is for criminal cases. Each court is different in handling motions to raise the security level. I have done these motions in St. Louis County, St. Louis City, St. Charles County, and Franklin County but not on ...

- Q. I believe my case from 2019 is still in litigation. Nothing has happened since COVID. My lawyer is retired. Help?
- A: If you care about the case, contact a local attorney to take over the case. Attorneys may not solicit through Justia.
You can view the filings on Casenet. I doubt that your attorney simply retired without filing a motion to withdraw. You need to take some responsibility in being proactive. Cases are not on hold due to COVID. My hunch is that a judgment has already been entered and that you are referring to the judgment having been assigned multiple times. There are businesses that buy judgments to pursue collections. Good luck.
