Schmittgens Injury Law Firm Adds Danny Schmittgens, Boosts Trial Power

Schmittgens Injury Law Firm, a St. Louis personal injury practice, has announced the addition of attorney Danny Schmittgens as the firm's second attorney. Danny, a St. Louis native and experienced trial lawyer, joins founding partner Rob Schmittgens (his second cousin) as the firm continues to expand its representation of injury victims throughout Missouri and Illinois. Danny brings a unique background: after graduating from Saint Louis University School of Law in 2020 and earning his license in 2021, he spent over five years defending doctors and medical facilities against malpractice claims. This experience gives the firm an inside view of how insurance companies and defense teams build their cases—insight Danny will now apply for plaintiffs.

Rob Schmittgens, founding partner, expressed enthusiasm about the addition, noting that Danny's prior work as a defense attorney provides valuable case insight. “Danny and I have been opponents in the courtroom, and I have seen, first hand, his skills as a litigator,” Rob said. Danny will handle the full range of personal injury matters, from parking lot car accident claims to complex medical malpractice cases. He has appeared in nearly every courthouse across eastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois. Danny commented on his move, stating, “Defense work can be extremely frustrating, especially for younger attorneys, and I knew I needed a change. I am proud of the firm he has been building, and I could not be happier to join the team.”

Schmittgens Injury Law Firm is a St. Louis-based personal injury practice representing people injured in car accidents, truck collisions, medical malpractice, dog bites, and other matters throughout Missouri and Illinois.
