What Strong Garner Bauer, PC does

Strong Garner Bauer, PC (operating as Strong Law, P.C.) is a Missouri-based plaintiffs' trial law firm founded in 1976 by Thomas Strong in Springfield, with a second office in St. Louis. The firm represents individuals and families in personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, medical malpractice, and insurance bad faith matters across 15 distinct practice areas including semi-truck, motorcycle, car, bicycle, boating, brain and spinal cord injuries, slip and fall, gas explosion, and construction site injuries. It also serves Missouri businesses through a commercial litigation practice covering breach of contract, business fraud, shareholder disputes, trade secrets, and construction disputes. The firm operates on a contingency fee model for plaintiff matters, supplemented by flexible fee structures (flat fees, blended hourly and contingency, phased billing) for commercial litigation, with free initial consultations for prospective clients.

The firm is built on a credentialed trial bench rather than proprietary technology. Its underlying operational stack consists of standard legal practice and case management systems; no proprietary platform, AI tooling, or productized technology is disclosed. Marketing and client acquisition rely on a referral-based GTM: the stronglaw.com website, attorney-to-attorney referrals, client testimonials, and Google Reviews. The firm reports 8+ professional lawyers (including 7 nationally acclaimed trial attorneys), with two members of the Inner Circle of Advocates, multiple Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers honorees, and AV Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell ratings. Leadership includes founding attorney Thomas Strong, partner Steven Garner, and a bench of named attorneys (Jeff Bauer, Brett Garner, Bailey Geller, Chandler Gregg, Jacob Lewis, Nick Smart, Michael Steelman, Anne Brockland) handling cases across both offices.

The business model is outcome-based: personal injury clients pay nothing unless the firm wins, with fees calculated as a percentage of recovery; commercial clients pay under contingency, flat, or blended arrangements. The firm markets cumulative client outcomes of $7+ billion in verdicts and settlements and 50+ favorable jury verdicts over its history, supported by Tier 1 Best Law Firms rankings in Personal Injury, Product Liability, Insurance Law, and Medical Malpractice for the 2026 edition. The firm is privately held as a professional corporation, founder/partner-owned, with no disclosed private equity, venture, or parent company involvement, and serves clients throughout Missouri and Arkansas.
