He is licensed to practice law in Missouri and Illinois, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth and Eighth Circuits, and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. After law school, Steve served as a judicial law clerk for Judge Laura Denvir Stith of the Supreme Court of Missouri from 2003-2004. Upon completing his clerkship, Steve joined Husch Blackwell in 2004 as an Associate, and became a Partner in 2012. While at Husch Blackwell, Steve had an active trial practice that took him to state and federal courts across the United States. He represented clients in the agriculture, retail, tax, financial, and consumer goods industries, including Fortune 500 companies, in complex litigation involving contract disputes and business torts. He also handled various appellate matters, including successfully briefing and arguing cases in the Missouri Court of Appeals. Steve joined Korein Tillery in September 2012. Steve was part of the trial team that won a $1 billion judgment that, at the time, was the fourth largest patent infringement jury verdict in U.S. history, according to Bloomberg. Monsanto Co. v.

He successfully argued that a plaintiff home builder’s negligent procurement of insurance jury award should be affirmed. Wildhorse Summit Dev. Corp. v. Assurance Co. of America, 261 S.W.3d 649 (Mo. Ct. App. 2008). In addition to his success serving as plaintiffs’ counsel, Steve has also successfully defended numerous clients.
