The Law Offices of Christopher Bent, LLC has represented clients in both federal and state courts in Missouri and Illinois. Justice does not reside solely on one side of the dais and neither do we. In 2007, we were recognized for having one of the top verdicts in Missouri. In 2016, we saved a sovereign municipality over Five Million dollars through our zealous advocacy. We recently entered an appearance and defended a lawsuit where the client’s pleadings were stricken, meaning there were no defenses to the alleged conduct. We successfully resolved that claim for a fraction of the anticipated damages. Our lead attorney was listed in St. Louis Magazine’s “Best Lawyers” edition in 2010. In short, we have what it takes to achieve your ultimate objective – complete and full resolution.
