In 1954, when Raymond A. Bruntrager founded the firm that would eventually be known as Bruntrager & Billings P.C., he started with a straightforward philosophy: Charge a fair fee, treat clients with respect and perform the legal work that was promised. More than a half-century later, that philosophy is the foundation for a law firm that has grown to include Bruntrager’s children, his children’s spouses and his grandchildren. When Bruntrager first opened his firm, he was known primarily as a criminal defense attorney. Skilled in the courtroom, he won an acquittal for physician under a multicount federal indictment for selling prescriptions—an extremely rare feat. Bruntrager further solidified his reputation as an experienced litigator by winning a not-guilty verdict in a federal bank robbery case. His practice soon evolved to include personal injury litigation, including automobile accidents, general negligence cases, wrongful death matters and breach of warranty claims. Later still, he would serve as a municipal judge. After almost 60 years, during which he has tried approximately 700 criminal and civil cases, Bruntrager is still licensed in Missouri and still practicing in the firm he founded. He continues to provide advice and insight to his colleagues, among them members of three generations of his family. Areas of Practice •Litigation •Personal Injury Trials
