Craig Anthony Schlapprizzi - St. Louis, MO

Overview

Since graduating from Washington University Law School in 2009, Craig Schlapprizzi has earned the respect of his coworkers and clients by tackling a broad range of personal injury cases from auto and trucking crashes, to medical malpractice and premises liability, to contract claims and appellate work.

In his first year practicing law, Craig achieved judgments, verdicts and settlements in excess of $1.6 million. He was the lead trial lawyer in two jury trials; one a wrongful death case, the other a commercial trucking crash. Both resulted in substantial jury verdicts for his clients.

In 2011, he teamed with his father, sister and Linda Powers in two major personal injury suits, both involving catastrophic injuries. The cases settled before trial for $2.5 million each.

For the second year, Craig is serving on the New Lawyers Committee, Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys (MATA).

Craig says he always wanted to be an attorney and represent individuals not corporations. He is honored to be part of this noble profession and to be learning from his father and mentor, who Craig considers to be the best trial lawyer he has ever seen.
