Big congratulations to the trial team of David Bub, Bo Devereux, and Matt Geer for securing yet another outstanding jury verdict in St. Louis County in the case of Long v. Saltzman, 19SL-CC05512 (2025).
Plaintiff’s counsel, widely recognized as one of the top trial lawyers in the state, is known for employing aggressive “reptile tactics” that have helped him secure over $20 million in verdicts across his recent trials.
In this case—a clear liability failure-to-yield auto accident—Plaintiff underwent two neck surgeries and numerous steroid injections. Before trial, Plaintiff demanded $1.5 million, while the defense offered $600,000. At trial, Plaintiff asked the jury for $10 million; the defense argued that $100,000 would be fair.
Against the odds, our team persuaded the jury that Plaintiff was 33% at fault, reducing a $115,000 gross verdict to approximately $75,000.
An exceptional result for our client and another impressive win for the firm—congratulations again to David, Bo, and Matt!
