For over thirty years I have been a St. Louis attorney. My educational background is located at the bottom of this page. I started in 1986 with the law firm of Shifrin & Treiman as an associate in the Tax Department. After a couple of years, Shifrin & Treiman dissolved and I joined the Law Firm of Herzog, Crebs & McGhee in downtown St. Louis where I headed up the tax and business practice and became a partner in 1994. I left Herzog, Crebs & McGhee in 1999 and joined a firm that merged with Husch & Eppenberger, LLC in 2000. At Husch and Eppenberger, LLC, I continued to practice as a partner in the general business and the tax and estate planning group. While at Husch & Eppenberger, LLC I was the firm's representative to TerraLex, an organization comprised of independent law firms throughout the world. Through TerraLex, I have made contacts with lawyers throughout the world which allows me to refer clients who have legal needs in other jurisdictions to attorneys who I know and whom I have confidence.
In early 2005 I left Husch & Eppenberger, LLC to start my legal practice. Essentially my decision to start my practice was driven by my desire to keep legal costs for my clients affordable and reasonable.
In addition to my practice as a St. Louis Attorney, I also serve as a member of the Town and Country Board of Adjustment which is the board that must approve any ordinance variances in the City of Town and Country, MO. I live in Town and Country, MO, with my wife, two kids, and two Labrador retrievers.
