Attorney A.J. Bruning, CEO of The Bruning Law Firm, recently sat down with Jon Stojan of River Front Times to explore the innovative approach and vibrant energy that define our firm’s presence in the realm of personal injury law.

At the heart of our practice lies a commitment to easing the burdens of those who have endured accidents and injuries. We aim to provide comfort, guidance, and a sense of unity during deeply challenging times for individuals and families.

The Bruning Law Firm is luck to have you, Katherine!

Dogs are often called a man's best friend, yet not every interaction is friendly. As temperatures rise, the likelihood of dog attacks may increase. The Bruning Law Firm emphasizes the importance of understanding your rights if you are ever bitten by a dog. Such incidents can lead to significant physical and emotional trauma, and the dog's owner may be held financially responsible for your injuries.

To better understand your legal options, The Bruning Law Firm has crafted a blog post outlining five essential facts about Missouri's dog bite laws. Explore your rights as a victim by following this link: https://www.bruninglegal.com/blog/5-surprising-facts-about-dog-bite-laws-in-missouri/

From a $38,000 offer to a $250,000 settlement!

When our clients suffer due to the negligence of others, we firmly believe they are entitled to maximum compensation. Attorney Kelsey Lober and Paralegal Alexa Wisma achieved an amazing $250,000 settlement for a client who suffered a severe neck and back injury from being rear-ended. Initially faced with a meager $38,000 offer, their persistent advocacy for our injured client ensured rightful compensation.

Did you know? 70% of office waste is paper, and almost half of it is thrown out each day. Additionally, to sustain paper production, over 200 million trees are cut down daily—that's one tree every 2.5 seconds.

Let's rethink our paper usage and make a positive impact on the planet together! 🌳🌎

At The Bruning Law Firm, we always put our clients first. We recognize that our firm may not be the best choice for every legal matter - whether the nature of the case is outside our area of expertise or there are geographical constraints - we prioritize ensuring our clients receive the highest quality of legal support.

This is why we actively co-counsel with other firms that may better align with our clients’ needs. In March 2024, we successfully referred twenty cases out to four different law firms. By doing this, we were able to extend our clients’ legal services across various domains, including workers’ compensation, commercial accidents, and personal injury cases.

If you believe your law firm would be interested in collaborating, please give us a call at (314) 735-8100 or visit to bruninglegal.com to learn more.

Dylan Kreigshauser, Patrick Hinrichs, Katherine Cagno, and Destinee Taylor celebrated work anniversaries this month. The Bruning Law Firm is incredibly lucky to have these four on our team.

Our team prides themselves in our communication. While you might not hear from other attorneys for weeks, the Bruning Law Firm will keep you updated with every step. Just ask Lo**ta, who left attorney Dominic (Nic) Sinclair and paralegal Genevieve Gotsch an amazing review.

Attorneys Ryan Bruning and Dominic Sinclair, as well as Paralegal Anissa Williamson, recently obtained a million-dollar policy limit settlement on behalf of one of our clients.

Our client sustained serious spinal injuries after being involved in a serious car crash. Their injuries required invasive intervention as a result of a trucking accident. Recommended treatment procedures led to complications which ultimately caused our client to suffer a severe stroke and seizure. The insurer initially denied liability for the complications caused by the treatment required to treat our client’s injuries from the trucking accident and offered to pay our client $250,000.

After only a couple of months, the insurance company offered the entire $1,000,000.00 policy to settle our client’s claims. If you are injured by someone else’s wrongdoing, please give us a call to discuss your case.
