The Lawyers of Simon Passanante [As seen in St. Louis Magazine - January 2007]

May 1st, 2007 by Erich Vieth

The lawyers at Simon·Passanante try cases and they do it well. Law firm partner John Simon notes, “You have one shot trying your client’s case in front of the jury.  You either win your case or you lose it.  There is no substitute for experience.”

The firm has extensive courtroom experience representing businesses and individuals in a wide range of cases.   For its business clients, Simon·Passanante tries complex cases ranging from intellectual property and contract disputes to antitrust violations.  They’ve also helped people badly hurt by dangerous products, people made ill by exposure to environmental waste, and people harmed by prescription drug side effects. 

Simon·Passanante understands that at the heart of every case is a person or business facing a crisis.  They realize that each case is unique and must be evaluated on its own merits. 

Recently, the firm prevented the financial ruin of a family-run cable company after a large apartment complex breached its contract.  Simon·Passanante uncovered the public hazard of corroding natural gas lines under St. Louis streets.  Yet another suit forced a product recall of defective oxygen tank alarms that posed severe hazards to firefighters. 

“Helping clients is the best part of the job,” says Simon. “You get the chance to right a wrong.”

Founded seven years ago by John Simon and Paul Passanante, the firm has grown to sixteen attorneys, with a total staff of fifty.  Since its inception, Simon·Passanante twice obtained the largest jury verdict in State of Missouri.  Simon·Passanante has been dubbed one of the “winningest firms” in the nation by the National Law Journal.
 
Simon explains the firm’s success: “We care about what we’re doing, we’re passionate about it, and we want to be the best.”
