Bettering the Lives of Clients Nationwide
John’s practice is driven by improving the lives of his clients and making the products they use safer. For example, when a natural gas explosion killed Louis Brown, his family came to John. John’s investigation showed Laclede Gas knew 80,000 copper gas lines were lying under St. Louis neighborhoods at risk for corrosion. John not only secured $8 million for Louis Brown’s family, but the case forced Laclede Gas to replace all 80,000 faulty lines.
In another pivotal case, John fought for Captain Mike LeBrun, a firefighter who passed out in a burning building due to a faulty oxygen alarm system in his breathing tank. Though he lived, the oxygen deprivation tragically damaged Captain LeBrun’s brain. John ensured that Mike received the millions of dollars he would need to get the medical care he required—while forcing the makers of the respirator, Mine Safety Appliances, to issue a nationwide warning about the failed air tank alarm.
