Aggressive, Trial-Tested
Our practice is litigation, frequently trying cases to verdict. We have tried hundreds of cases in counties throughout Illinois, Missouri, and the United States District Courts in both states. Yet, we also recognize the value of resolving cases before trial. We assess cases early to resolve them at the earliest possible stage, and our attorneys are experienced in alternative dispute resolution.
Recognized Leaders
Our aggressive practice and reputation has attracted some of the largest companies in the United States as clients. The firm is AV rated and included in the Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers in Insurance Defense, Premises Liability, and Transportation Law. St. Louis Business Journal named BALB a Top Legal Eagle 2015, and St. Louis Small Business Monthly recognized us a Best Law Firm 2015. Our firm was also honored as a Go-To Legal Department at the Top 500 Companies 2015 by Corporate Counsel.

The firm is also active in fundraising for organizations like SIU Foundation, which supports scholarships at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
