A St. Louis Legal Tradition Since 1954
Bruntrager & Billings traces its roots to 1954, giving the practice more than seven decades of history in the St. Louis legal community.
The firm describes itself as a multigenerational family practice that has maintained a consistent philosophy throughout its history: treat clients respectfully, complete the legal work promised, and charge fair fees.

Personal Injury and Accident Representation
Personal injury law is one of the firm’s principal practice areas. Bruntrager & Billings represents people who have suffered injuries in accidents and other incidents involving potential negligence or legal liability.
Its personal injury services include automobile accidents, commercial truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries, rideshare accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, catastrophic injuries, defective products, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims.
Injuries can create substantial financial and personal difficulties, particularly when medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, or long-term disability becomes involved.
The firm’s attorneys help clients evaluate their legal options, understand insurance issues, and pursue compensation when the facts and applicable law support it.
Personal injury cases may involve settlement negotiations or courtroom litigation, depending on the circumstances and the parties involved.
Criminal Defense in Missouri Courts
Bruntrager & Billings also maintains a criminal defense practice representing individuals accused of violations of state or federal law.
Its criminal defense services include drug offenses, driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving under the influence (DUI), traffic violations, white-collar offenses, violent crime allegations, and other criminal matters.
Criminal accusations can affect employment, professional licensing, financial stability, and personal reputation. Legal counsel can be essential when navigating investigations, court appearances, negotiations, and trials.
The firm helps clients understand their legal rights, evaluate the evidence, and develop defense strategies suited to their cases.
Every criminal case involves distinct facts and legal considerations, and an accusation does not establish guilt.

Estate Planning, Wills, and Trusts

Bruntrager & Billings helps individuals and families with wills, trusts, guardianship matters, estate tax planning, and asset protection.
Estate planning lets individuals document their wishes, plan how property may be distributed, and address financial or family responsibilities.
The appropriate legal documents depend on personal circumstances, family relationships, financial considerations, and applicable Missouri law.
The firm’s attorneys help clients evaluate these issues and develop estate planning arrangements suited to their objectives.
Real Estate and Employment Law
Bruntrager & Billings provides legal assistance with real estate transactions and disputes, including contract preparation, document review, negotiations, title examinations, and closing supervision.
