Helping ordinary people through Extraordinary Circumstances.

Who We Are. We stick with what we know. This trial firm represents only those injured, killed, or financially harmed by others. We do not represent businesses or corporations. We do not do criminal cases, estate plans, or divorces. 

Our Beginnings. The firm’s founder, Kevin Etzkorn, was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri. He attended college and law school in this town. Following law school, he started on the path that many lawyers do in their mid-20s: he took the most stable, comfortable job he could find. Unfortunately, this meant working for and defending the financial interests of corporate America. After 10 years, Kevin decided to leave a large law firm to represent regular people. And he has not looked back.

Our Mission. Our mission is to get our clients the most just result possible. Some would say this is accomplished by numbers and involves nothing more than maximizing settlements. We disagree and take a different approach. The job of a lawyer is not only to maximize recovery, but to serve as a “counselor” and walk clients through the process. We want to figure out why you were hurt and to do whatever possible to make sure it does not happen again. We want to be part of your journey to recovering from whatever harm you have suffered.

Why This Firm Instead of Others. There are many things about this firm that distinguish it from others. The two that are most obvious are:

• Unique Perspective. Kevin Etzkorn has represented both individuals as well as insurance carriers and large corporations. This experience on both sides of the aisle has given our firm a unique perspective–and a competitive advantage. Because of this experience, we have use tried, tested, and proven systems to pursue injury, fraud, and abuse cases in Missouri and Illinois. Having worked in “Big Law” for years, we confidently handle even the most complex personal injury, abuse of care and business fraud claims. Unlike many firms, we won’t shy away from taking your claim to trial if necessary.
• Personalized Legal Assistance. We do not follow the “bigger is better” mindset of other firms. That means we do not have hundreds of lawyers, case managers, and paralegals. Nor do we have thousands of cases at a time. Our firm consists of one lawyer and trained paralegals. This allows us to treat your case like our own–because it is. When you work with us, you can count on great communication, regular updates and compassionate representation from someone who understands your pain and frustration. We carefully review each matter before we decide whether to take on representation. We only take on claims when we’re confident we have the knowledge, skills and time to give you the attention and advocacy you deserve. Our success comes in large part from our commitment to a small caseload. This ensures each client receives undivided attention and personalized representation.

A lawyer cannot promise a result. But this law firm can guarantee a few things. First, we will always tell you the truth about your case, even if it hurts. You do not need to be led to think your case is something it is not. Second, we will work tirelessly to help you get your life back together. Third, you will not pay us unless and until we win your case.
