Influential Lawyers-Steve Cousins

Steve Cousins has worked on some of the biggest bankruptcy cases in recent history, but 2017 was an especially big year for the Armstrong Teasdale partner.

Lawyer of the Year-Richard Scherrer

As Richard Scherrer sat at his desk in the Missouri State Public Defender’s office in St. Louis, he reflected on the path his career has taken. “If you had asked me to pick the most improbable thing, I couldn’t even imagine this circumstance,” Scherrer, 70, said. Scherrer is the co-founder of the Missouri Coalition for […]

Legal Champions- Cheryl Pilate

Since the start of her career, Cheryl Pilate has always worked on innocence and death penalty cases in addition to her regular federal criminal law practice. “I’m very passionate about seeing the right thing done,” she said. “There’s nothing more intolerable in our system of justice than an innocent person being wrongfully convicted and locked […]

Legal Champions- Gerard Carmody & Ryann Carmody

Right around the time Jerry and Ryann Carmody were preparing to represent a priest at a civil trial over claims he sexually abused a minor, the movie “Spotlight” came out, Ryann Carmody remembers. The movie focused on the team at the Boston Globe that uncovered the priest abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, bringing the […]

Editor's Picks January 22, 2018

Strode drawn home to head ArchCity Defenders

Blake Strode had never really planned to come back to St. Louis. Strode grew up in the area, graduating from Pattonville High School in 2005, but went out of state for college, first to the University of Arkansas, and later to Harvard Law School. He also spent time traveling as a professional tennis player. While […]

Change constant in Gardner’s first year as St. Louis Circuit Attorney

Jury sides with care facility in case over interpreter

A federal jury recently sided with Delmar Gardens in a case that alleged the St. Louis County care facility violated a deaf patient’s rights by not providing her with an interpreter. The plaintiff, Betsy Bates, went to Delmar Gardens North for rehabilitation four days after a hip replacement surgery, which was done due to chronic […]

Pro bone-o work

If you look closely at a display of attorney headshots on the wall at Sandberg Phoenix & von Gontard, one face may give you pause or more precisely – paws.

Editor's Picks December 26, 2017

Protest ordinance not unconstitutional, appellate court rules

The Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District ruled December 19 that a St. Louis County ordinance that makes it unlawful to interfere with police officers is not unconstitutionally overbroad or vague. The ruling upholds a trial court that found the ordinance was not unconstitutional. But plaintiffs’ attorneys said the ruling was a partial win because […]

Long campaign for new murder trial ends with guilty plea

A guilty plea from Reginald Clemons, who had long maintained his innocence and fought for a new trial, may have seemed to come out of left field to some, but experts say there could be a number of reasons why he made a deal. Clemons, 46, was convicted of the April 4, 1991 murders of […]
