Joshua M. Schindler
Principal
Josh concentrates his practice in the areas of civil, commercial, construction, health care, collection law, education law and personal injury litigation. He represents clients across the country in state and federal courts and in arbitrations before USA&M and the American Arbitration Association. In addition, Josh has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in matters involving Fair Housing Complaints, EEO complaints as well as in matters before numerous state agencies. He supervises litigation on behalf of his clients and if needed, intervenes to achieve favorable results. In his appellate practice, Josh has successfully argued matters before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Missouri Supreme Court.
Josh’s philosophy revolves around the importance of unrivaled personal service. Each client is important to Josh and he strives to help each client resolve their dispute in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Josh received his B.A. in Public and International Affairs from George Washington University and his J.D. from Washington University School of Law. While in law school, Josh was a Notes and Comments Editor for the Washington University Law Review and he won the prestigious Golden Gavel Award. He clerked for Judge Harold Lowenstein, Missouri Court of Appeals in Kansas City and Judge Edward Filippine, United States District Court in St. Louis.

Brian P. Doty
For over a decade, Brian has represented clients ranging from individuals to multi-national corporations, in a practice spanning a broad cross-section of law both as a trial lawyer and in the capacity of transactional attorney. More specifically, he has counseled businesses as early in their lifespan as formation and as late as dissolution, and represented them at all times therebetween as to contract litigation and negotiation, including: employment contracts/terminations, commercial leases and construction / development, vendor contracts, and asset transfers). He also advises on state and national housing policies, environmental compliance, and nursing / skilled care facility policies; and litigates alleged violations of related laws and/or tenant/resident rights. Finally (and excluding his other practice areas for the sake of brevity), Brian has devoted a substantial portion of his time since 2018, to litigating education rights, though he considers the opportunity to apply his own education in this way (and the talents that that education has helped him convert into a career), as more of a civic duty than a business opportunity.
Brian graduated in 2007 from the University of Chicago Law School, where he was Articles Editor for the University of Chicago Legal Forum, and clerked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He earned his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis, in Finance and Business Management. Thereafter, he worked at large law firms in Chicago and St. Louis, before joining the Schindler Law Firm in 2016, where he is able to provide the same or better level of service his clients have come to expect but without the invoices they likely came to dread. But of course, this webpage notwithstanding, Brian only boasts publicly with respect to his son, who has consistently tested in the 90th percentile for height, and who will have tying his shoes down momentarily.
