ST. LOUIS, MO, July 14, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Schmittgens Injury Law Firm, a St. Louis personal injury practice, has announced the addition of attorney Danny Schmittgens as the firm's second attorney. A St. Louis native and experienced trial lawyer, Danny joins founding partner Rob Schmittgens (his second cousin) as the firm continues to grow its representation of injury victims throughout Missouri and Illinois.

Danny brings a background that is somewhat unusual for a plaintiff's firm. After graduating from Saint Louis University School of Law in 2020 and earning his license in 2021, he spent more than five years defending doctors and medical facilities against malpractice claims. That experience gives the firm an inside view of how insurance companies and defense teams build their cases; now it's insight Danny will apply for the people on the plaintiff side.

"As his name may suggest, Danny and I are quite literally family, which made the decision to bring him to the firm an obvious one," said Rob Schmittgens, founding partner. "Danny and I have been opponents in the courtroom, and I have seen, first hand, his skills as a litigator. Danny will bring valuable case insight to our legal team using his prior experience as a defense attorney. Danny also has a wealth of knowledge in the area of medical malpractice, which is an incredibly challenging area of practice. I am overjoyed that Danny will be a part of it for years to come."

A skilled trial attorney, Danny has appeared in nearly every courthouse across eastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois. At the firm, he handles the full range of personal injury matters, from parking lot car accident claims to complex medical malpractice cases.

"Rob and I have known each other for a long time, and I have always valued his insight and perspective," said Danny Schmittgens. "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. I look forward to helping our clients navigate challenging legal situations."
