Most Successful Appellate Practice
Armstrong Teasdale’s appellate team includes Tom Weaver, Jeff McPherson and former Missouri Supreme Court Judge William Ray Price Jr., among others.
Among the numerous examples of their high-profile cases, they won a ruling in the Court of Appeals Eastern District in 2020 that slashed about half of a $4.69 billion verdict against Johnson & Johnson on claims that its talcum power products caused cancer.
In 2019, they won a Missouri Supreme Court ruling that plaintiffs can’t use the state’s joinder rules to establish venue where it otherwise wouldn’t exist, affecting several mass tort cases with out-of-state plaintiffs filed in St. Louis.
In 2014, the firm won a partial victory in a tough case in the Eastern District, which, due to a legal error in the jury instructions, threw out two thirds of a $358.5 million award regarding lead poisoning from a Missouri smelter.
