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
822 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I withhold rent in Missouri due to unresolved apartment issues?
- A: Look up Missouri Revised Statutes 441.234. It is an old and weak statute on rent withholding. Unfortunately, if you are on a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord will likely give notice of termination if you withhold rent. The good news is that you too can give proper notice then vacate. I hope you find a better place to live.
- Q. Can a debt collector sue me in Missouri for a $709 daycare fee from 2016/2017?
- A: If you signed the subject contract in Missouri, then a lawsuit in MIssouri would not violated the FDCPA's venue provision. Whether a 5-year or 10-year statute of limitations (SOL) applies would depend upon the cause of action the plaintiff pleads in the petition. In Missouri, a 10-year SOL applies to a written promise to pay money.
- Q. Do I have a case?
- A: It is unwise to post your name. I suggest you seek to edit or delete your question.
Missouri is an employment at will state. You've articulated what you believe are reasons that you were unfairly terminated. Unfairness is not unlaw, however. Look at the EEOC or MCHR websites to lean what constitutes unlawful discrimination.
If you want to hire an attorney, you'll need to contact one specifically rather than through a general post asking for representation. Justia has a search function, as does the Missouri Bar's website.
Good luck.
