At Sotiriou Wilmowski, we’re led by former insurance defense lawyers. We’ve been on the other side, representing insurance companies and defendants in personal injury cases, and now we use that experience to fight for injury victims.

We know how insurers evaluate claims, how they think, and where they cut corners. That insider knowledge gives our clients a powerful advantage when it matters most.

FAQ

What makes your attorneys different from other personal injury lawyers in St. Louis?

Our attorneys previously worked on the insurance industry’s side of these cases. That means we know how claims are evaluated, challenged, and denied. We use that insider knowledge to build stronger cases for our clients from day one.

Do I get to choose which attorney handles my case?

We’ll match you with the attorney best suited to your case, and you’re always welcome to let us know if you have a preference, including a preference to work with our female attorney.

Will I be able to reach my attorney directly?

Yes. You get a real phone number and a real person, not a case number and a queue. We would rather answer a small question now than explain later why you did not hear from us for three weeks. If your attorney is in a deposition when you call, someone who knows your file will tell you when to expect a call back.

Do your attorneys handle cases in both Missouri and Illinois?

Yes. We are based in St. Louis and we represent injury victims on both sides of the river, in Missouri and in Illinois. The two states treat injury claims differently, from filing deadlines to how fault is divided, and knowing which set of rules applies to your case is often the difference between a claim that works and one that does not.

Can I request to work with a female attorney?

Yes. Many clients specifically ask to work with Deme Sotiriou, our female personal injury attorney, and you’re welcome to make that request when you contact us.
