Member, St. Louis

Lindsay Suzanne Brinton is a member at Lewis Rice in St. Louis, specializing in eminent domain law with 19 years of legal experience. She focuses on inverse condemnation claims against the federal government, primarily representing landowners whose property has been taken for rail-trail conversions to recover Fifth Amendment just compensation.

Brinton and her partner, Meghan Largent, recently secured the largest decision in any valuation trial for a Trails Act takings claim, obtaining a judgment exceeding $55 million for a landowner in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the taking of thirteen downtown properties. Their success over the past two decades has helped establish new legal precedents for other practitioners in the field.

Her practice encompasses both federal law and various state laws that define landowner property rights.
