Schultz Legal Group
About our St. Louis, Missouri Personal Injury Law Firm
If you or a loved one has suffered as the result of another’s negligence or recklessness, that person should be held legally accountable. That is where a skilled personal injury attorney comes in. With the help of an experienced attorney, you have a much better chance of receiving compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering. Insurance companies have experienced attorneys working for them, and rest assured they are working hard to minimize your chances of fair compensation. Shouldn't you have an attorney on your side?
Firm Philosophy
What sets our firm apart from the rest?
Many, many things. We select our cases carefully so that the caseload remains manageable and each case gets the focused attention from a skilled personal injury lawyer necessary for a successful outcome. A smaller caseload also permits us to maintain a close relationship with clients, keeping them informed and updated throughout the life of each lawsuit. Our firm is committed to a team approach that involves attorney, staff, and client working together closely from start to finish. The end result is that our clients’ best interests remain first and foremost.
Our lawyers also do something that frightens most injury law firms: we give each client our personal cellular and home telephone numbers. Why? Because our attorneys are accountable to each client, day or night. Many prospective clients come to our firm when they become dissatisfied with a non-responsive lawyer. A common theme from these new clients is "I haven't heard from my lawyer in 6 months and he won't return my calls." That will never happen at our office. As your attorney, I pledge to each client that the only time I will not answer my cell phone is when attending a court proceeding or mediation.
St. Louis accident attorney Stephen Schultz and the attorneys in his office only represent injury victims. We are recognized by our peers as being 'specialists' in this area of law. Accordingly, many law firms throughout Missouri refer their injured clients to our office for representation. Attorney Stephen Schultz was recently recognized as a "Best Lawyer in St. Louis" by St. Louis Magazine (February 2008 edition) for serious injury and wrongful death litigation.
Areas of Practice
Our St. Louis-based lawyers represent all types of personal injury claims throughout Missouri, including:
Being located in St. Louis, Missouri does not stop our attorneys from handling personal injury cases throughout all of Missouri and Illinois. We handle cases in rural areas well outside of metropolitan St. Louis. In fact, our attorneys frequently travel to a client’s home to meet face-to-face for a consultation. We understand that traveling to St. Louis may be impractical or impossible for prospective clients. Here are just a few of the counties our law offices have litigated in: Adair County, Benton County, Boone County, Caldwell County, Callaway County, Camden County, Cape Girardeau County, Clay County, Dade County, Franklin County, Gasconade County, Greene County, Jefferson County, Lincoln County, Madison County, Marion County, Monroe County, New Madrid County, Osage County, Phelps County, Saint Charles County, Saint Clair County, Saint Francois County, Saint Louis City, Sainte Genevieve County, Scott County, Sullivan County, Vernon County, Warren County, Washington County, and Wright County. If you are located in a rural location, please contact our office to make arrangements for a home consultation with one of our attorneys.
Technology
Our Missouri personal injury law firm is preparing to move into a new, state-of-the art location, just few blocks from our current St. Louis office. This new, larger location will integrate the hottest legal technology currently available and is being custom designed to create a client-friendly environment. Each attorney office will feature large plasma displays with integrated software to review evidence with clients and prepare for upcoming mediations and jury trials. Conference rooms will feature ‘virtual’ presentation boards, which combine audio-visual technology and user interaction to allow for access to client information and other useful data. All of this technology will also be accessible to our attorneys when they are out of the office conducting depositions, trials, mediations, and on-site investigations.
Our new office is easily accessed by Highways 40, 70 and 44. We anticipate this move to take place in late summer 2008 and will notify all clients and law firms accordingly.
Results
We are very proud of the results we have achieved in a comprehensive range of practice areas, including auto and tractor-trailer collisions, premise liability, and personal injury cases. Our record of accepting referrals from other attorneys across Missouri and the United States has brought recognition to our firm's ability in handling complex and catastrophic injury cases. Because many of our victories are executed under "court seal" (confidentiality), it would be unethical to openly discuss details of these accomplishments. However, our firm would be obliged to provide a general list of our legal achievements and client testimonials upon request.
Attorney Stephen Schultz and lawyers at the firm regularly participate in Legal Seminars for the areas of practice in which we specialize. We find that attendance in seminars focused on each of our practice areas is critical to obtaining substantial compensation for our clients. Missouri law is constantly evolving. A lawyer who fails to continuously update his or her knowledge of this evolution cannot be an effective advocate.
