OnderLaw was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in Webster Groves, fifteen minutes from downtown St. Louis. Today the firm counts more than 30 attorneys and 150 staff, and has recovered over $5 billion in negotiated settlements and verdicts for more than 50,000 clients — from individual injury cases to some of the largest mass-tort recoveries in the country.
Founder Jim Onder puts the philosophy in one sentence: “We don’t only take on cases, we take on causes.” That has meant $307 million in talcum-powder verdicts, a $2 billion pharmaceutical settlement, national MDL leadership, and the largest Roundup docket in the country — more than 24,000 clients strong.
Recognized in the Top 1% of lawyers nationwide by Super Lawyers, in U.S. News Best Law Firms, and voted Best Law Firm in St. Louis by the Post-Dispatch three years running — with over 1,200 five-star reviews from the people who matter most.
Eleven honors the profession hands out sparingly — every one held by this firm today. Engraved the way credentials should be: on the record.
“Every case is an opportunity to protect someone else’s family from tragedy.” — Jim Onder. Verdicts here don’t just compensate; they change how companies behave.
