Attorney, St. Louis

Elizabeth Lenivy has practiced medical malpractice law in St. Louis for 11 years, representing clients catastrophically injured or who have lost loved ones to medical negligence. She entered the field through a law school clerkship and found she genuinely enjoyed advocating for people who, she said, had “never had anyone fight for them before.”

Cases involving children rank among her most memorable, including serving as co-counsel on a birth injury matter that produced a $48.1 million verdict — the largest of its kind in Missouri history. A member of the American Association for Justice’s Birth Injury section, Lenivy also mentors younger attorneys and volunteers with Legal Services of Eastern Missouri.
