Top best Litigation Lawyers in Washington near me | 1702 available

I finished my undergraduate degree in 1984 from University of Missouri, Columbia and then went on to complete my JD from Washington University, St. Louis in 1991. While in law school I was a member of the Washington University regional winning Mock Trial team.. I  am licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri and over my career I have represented hundreds of individuals in the St. Louis City, St. Louis County and Franklin County areas.  My first job out of law school was working for a plaintiff’s railroad litigation firm where I was able to obtain trial and hearing experience in nine different venues in the United States. In 1995 I left that practice to become a partner in my own firm with two other partners.  Since the end of 2010 I have been a sole practitioner.. Outside of my law practice, since 1991,  I have been able to combine my undergraduate education experience with my trial knowledge as an adjunct professor with Washington University in St. Louis. I  began as an adjunct professor with the undergraduate mock trial program. After a few years, I was then hired to be an adjunct professor with the Law School teaching a Pretrial class then later returned to teaching Mock Trial, but this time at the Law School. I am honored to coach the Washington University Law School mock trial team which has qualified for the National Competition more times than any other school in the entire country.. I have been married to my lovely wife Mary for the past 28 years and we have three sons, Sam, 17, Will, 15 and Jack, 12.

I fight for citizens and nonprofit organizations who seek information from their government. I also help individuals vindicate their civil rights against governmental defendants.

I became a lawyer because I wanted to use my strategic abilities to help others solve problems; I remain a lawyer because of the satisfaction of working with clients who are on the cutting edge of innovation and shaping the world around them. And that’s why I founded Innovista Law.. My telecommunications practice has run the gamut, but my most challenging and rewarding work involves competitive carriers that are taking on the established incumbents through new service offerings or business models. I have also defended several companies on class action cases filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).  My telecommunications work has taken me across the country and even into foreign nations. These multi-prong disputes often involve challenges in federal and state courts, as well as before the Federal Communications Commission and state regulatory agencies. They require a deep understanding of litigation strategy and regulatory policymaking as well as technical knowledge. I have also helped give voice to competitive carriers on issues of national importance, including representing national trade associations on issues involving the regulation of the open Internet and on access charge reform.. Working with clients that are at the intersection of technology and social innovation to create great positive impact is another area that has always inspired me. In this arena, I have been fortunate to work with the U.S. Department of State on projects in Brazil, to lead a national conference with the Corporation on National and Community Service around technology and social impact, to work with companies that are bringing the innovative broadband services to the most rural parts of our country, and to collaborate with the nation’s leading producer of educational and information television programming to impact lives through technology.. Previous Work. Prior to starting Innovista Law, I was an attorney in the Telecommunications Pracitce Group at Arent Fox.  I have also served as director of programs and general counsel for a social enterprise focused on building the capacity of economically distressed communities and on preparing college students for successful careers as leaders of social sector organizations.
