History

Established in 2003.

The Columbia Missouri law firm of Lear Werts LLP was started in 2003 by Bradford Lear and Todd Werts. Brad and Todd have known each other since law school. After graduation, Brad moved to St. Louis and Todd to Kansas City. Both lawyers started their careers in their respective cities, but decided to form their new law firm in Columbia in September, 2003. Since that time, our law firm has evolved and now limits its practice to serious personal injury, workers compensation, and employment litigation. In October, 2010, attorney Sander Sowers joined the firm. In May, 2011, Michele Hornish came on board and opened the firm's first satellite office in Chicago, Illinois.

Meet the Business Owner: Todd W.

Todd Werts' practice primarily involves representing individuals in claims filed in state and federal courts as well as various administrative agencies. He focuses on personal injury, employment, and workers compensation cases. Todd also is mindful that individuals may not be aware of the various legal implications of their situation and, therefore, meets individually with each prospective client to listen to their story and present a clear explanation of the client's options. Todd has successfully represented clients in cases involving serious personal injuries arising from automobile collisions, trucking accidents, and falls as a result of dangerous premises. Todd also maintains a robust workers compensation practice, handling cases involving spinal injuries, torn rotator cuffs, carpal tunnel, among others. Todd is a frequent speaker on injury and employment law issues. He is an active member of the Missouri Bar and the Boone County Bar Association.
