St. Louis
JD: Saint Louis University, 1986
Firm founder and member of the Inner Circle of Advocates John Simon has more than 150 million-dollar cases to his name.
His successes include a $105 million award for a man injured by an exploding truck tire and a $47 million settlement stemming from a fatal boiler explosion in St. Louis. Others include an $18.3 million verdict for a young girl who suffered injuries from a rare disease after she was repeatedly brought to a St. Louis emergency room but wasn’t admitted, and a recent $21 million settlement for two children burned in a mishap at a Florida religious retreat.
Simon’s results have driven him to share his expertise via his position as a Saint Louis University School of Law adjunct professor and as a co-host of The Jury is Out: A Podcast for Trial Attorneys.
