Springfield
Steve Garner has built his career on trying civil cases to juries. He came to plaintiff’s personal injury practice after clerking for two summers with trial lawyer Tom Strong, drawn to the opportunity to help people with disabling injuries or the loss of a loved one — clients he noted can only “fight back other than with the aid of a lawyer.”
His career includes several eight-figure verdicts securing long-term medical care, education and quality of life for injured clients and their families.
Garner is a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates and has also served as president of the Springfield Metro Bar and the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys.
