Gary and Anita Robb are among the most powerful husband-and-wife legal teams in Missouri, with a national reputation for setting records in aircraft-crash litigation.
Earlier this year, Robb & Robb secured the largest pre-trial settlement for a wrongful death in U.S. history, winning $100 million after a post-crash fire resulted in the death of a 31-year-old man.
Their victories also include the two highest jury verdicts for helicopter crashes — $350 million and $70 million — and a $100 million pre-trial settlement for a nurse injured in a medical helicopter crash in 2018.
The pair represented the family of basketball star Kobe Bryant after he and his daughter were killed in a helicopter crash, as well as the late wrestling champion Owen Hart, guaranteeing an $18 million settlement from the World Wrestling Federation.
