What Meyers & Flowers does

Meyers & Flowers is a privately held plaintiff-side trial law firm headquartered in Chicago with additional offices in St. Charles and Peru, Illinois. Founded in 2002 by Ted A. Meyers and Peter J. Flowers, the firm concentrates on catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, mass tort and multidistrict litigation (MDL), wrongful death, and class action matters. Its practice spans roughly 25 named service areas including car/truck/motorcycle accidents, birth injuries, brain and spinal cord injuries, nursing home abuse, sexual assault, NFL concussion, Camp Lejeune water contamination, talcum powder, opioids, and defective hip replacement systems (Stryker, DePuy, Wright, Exactech). Core technology consists of standard legal practice and case management systems used to coordinate complex MDL and mass tort dockets.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis with no upfront cost to clients and collects only on settlement or verdict. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct client intake (phone, online form, in-person), an attorney referral program, and earned media presence in outlets such as the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, NBC, and ABC News. Co-counsel relationships with firms in Texas, Tennessee, and Philadelphia extend its national plaintiff reach; the firm has represented clients in 39 states through MDL appointments and handled cross-border matters such as the Lac-Mégantic train derailment in Canada.

Cumulative client recoveries exceed $6 billion across verdicts and settlements, including the $3 billion Stryker hip implant settlement, $2.5 billion DePuy ASR settlement, $2.4 billion Takeda Actos settlement, $200 million Lac-Mégantic settlement, and a $43.5 million medical malpractice jury verdict for former NFL player Chris Maragos. The firm self-reports a 99% success rate and 100+ years of combined attorney experience, with leadership holding senior positions in plaintiff bar associations and MDL leadership committees. Revenue, ownership structure beyond the founding partners, and headcount details beyond a stated 11-50 employee range are not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no disclosed outside investment or parent company.
