Biography

About Justin K. Summary — Over 21 years of Missouri car accidents experience

Justin K. Summary is the kind of attorney you want in your corner because he’s seen it all from both sides of the aisle. He got his start as a public defender back in 2005, which gave him a trial-by-fire education in the criminal justice system. Since moving into private practice in 2007, he’s handled everything from simple traffic tickets to high-stakes Class A felonies. Whether he’s arguing to suppress evidence, taking a deposition, or standing in front of a jury, Justin is known for his hands-on approach. He doesn’t pass his clients off to someone else; he works with them one-on-one from the very first meeting until the case is closed. This same level of dedication carries over into his civil practice, where he focuses primarily on personal injury cases like car accidents and slip-and-falls. In fact, many of his cases come from other attorneys who trust him to handle the tough litigation they can't manage themselves. Licensed in Missouri, Illinois, and the Eastern District of Missouri, Justin brings a wealth of experience to every case. He understands that legal issues are personal, and he treats them that way, providing the direct, expert guidance needed to navigate the complexities of the court system in both criminal and civil matters.
