About Us

Leritz, Plunkert & Bruning, P.C. is a full-service litigation law firm comprised of experienced courtroom attorneys who offer decades of combined experience.

The firm’s partners are all distinguished with AV ratings from Martindale Hubbell and have been inducted into the Bar Register of Pre-eminent Lawyers.

Representing clients throughout Missouri and Southern Illinois, we regularly try jury cases in state and federal courts, and handle all levels of appeal. We focus our legal expertise on cases such as commercial and business disputes, insurance coverage issues, general liability and motor vehicle cases, workers’ compensation law, personal injury, product liability, fire litigation, property damage, housing and construction litigation, arson, fraud cases and criminal defense. In essence, our attorneys try every type of litigation facing individuals, corporations and insurance companies.

Because many cases can be resolved outside of the courtroom, we also offer alternative dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration.

A large portion of our practice is devoted to the representation of insurance companies and their insureds through defense litigation in a varying scope of industries, such as healthcare and nursing homes, trucking, transportation, manufactured housing and motor homes. Because the insurance industry faces complex, sensitive and costly issues in liability coverage, our attorneys are specialists at handling insurance coverage disputes.

Our firm also provides representation to individuals who have been personally injured.  Whether the cause of the injury is a defective product, medical malpractice or another type of personal injury, we have the experience to provide outstanding representation against big corporations or other individuals.

Aside from civil litigation, the firm also offers legal advice, representation and litigation in the area of criminal defense, with an emphasis on driving while intoxicated, felonies, misdemeanors, traffic violations and death penalty cases.
