Civil Litigation

Unlike criminal prosecution, civil action is a lawsuit brought to court in order to receive damages or to recover a right. As an experienced litigation attorney, Andrew W. Renken has represented and defended individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations that are seeking money damages or the specific performance of contract terms.  I take pride in helping my clients evaluate the litigation process in an attempt to resolve disputes in an efficient and cost effective manner. 

If you are entering a civil litigation lawsuit, contact us to protect your rights and I will vigorously defend your interests.

Criminal / Traffic Tickets

As your attorney, I will defend your the rights when facing felony and misdemeanor charges. I advocate for clients accused of drunk driving, DWI, DUI, BWI, drug possession, drug manufacturing and distribution, assault, stealing, burglary, theft offenses, manslaughter, juvenile crime, speeding and other traffic offenses, and bad checks.

Personal Injury / Accidents

I work with a team of attorneys who specialize in medical and accident cases to provide my clients who have been injured with skilled and effective representation. We work with our clients to secure payment for medical bills, negotiate with their insurance companies, and attempt to get the best settlement available. Our firm handles personal injury claims throughout the state of Missouri.

We are direct with our clients so that they understand the best and worst case scenarios in resolving their claims. We want our clients to have a good sense of whether their case will be likely to settle quickly or will possibly result in litigation. We oftentimes explore mediation as another avenue for our clients to settle their cases.
