" Civil litigation can be an extremely powerful tool. Professor Owen M. Fiss stated it powerfully in considering the role of civil lawsuits in America: “I am willing to assume that no other country … has a case like Brown v. Board of Education in which the judicial power is used to eradicate the caste structure.” While not all lawsuits carry those high stakes, civil litigation has always been used to right a wrong. Even still, it is well-accepted that the litigation process is filled with difficulties. To succeed, a lawyer must be a counselor, a problem-solver, a teacher, and an advocate."

Anthony Meyer (Tony) joined Lear Werts after serving as a law clerk to the Honorable Paul C. Wilson of the Missouri Supreme Court. He uses his skills as a researcher and writer to advocate for his clients throughout the course of litigation. He especially enjoys working through complex procedural or constitutional problems. His practice areas include consumer protection, mass torts, complex litigation, and employment law. He is a co-author of the chapter “Labor Law in the Public Sector” in the forthcoming legal treatise Labor Law Landscape.
Prior to entering law school, Tony completed a Master’s degree in English literature and worked as an English and writing instructor. As a law student at the University of Missouri, he was selected as the Managing Editor of the Missouri Law Review and was a member of the Veterans Law Clinic. He graduated with honors and was elected by the faculty into the Order of the Coif.
Tony enjoys all the things about the great outdoors — gardening, camping, canoeing, bike riding, and — most of all — hiking with his wife and young daughter.
