Biography

He has fought tenaciously for each and every injured client whether it is at the negotiating table or in trial. We represent those injured in any type of motor vehicle accident such as car accidents, semi-truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents. Of course, we represent those families who have experienced the worst type of crash involving a wrongful death.

Zane has always felt honored by each client that they trust him to tell their unique story. Each client’s story is never just about the crash, but more about their individual lives. In 2011, Zane attended the Trial Lawyer’s College at Thunderhead Ranch in Wyoming where he joined an elite team of national attorneys who spent months focusing on his own personal story including life-time challenges and weaknesses to better understand each new client in order to help them better obtain justice through the trial process.

Zane has been awarded many state and national awards for his performance in the court room including multiple years in the Top 40 Under 40 by The National Trial Lawyers Association and multiple years listed in the Super Lawyers of Missouri 2015-2018. And, the Super Lawyers Rising Star Award in 2013 and 2014.

Zane’s beginnings were in a small, rural community in southwest Missouri where he was involved in agriculture and sports. He attended Washington University School of Law in 2000 and began practicing as in-house counsel for Hovensa Oil in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. After three years, Zane returned to St. Louis to take up personal injury.

Living and working in the greater St. Louis area has given Zane opportunity to be involved in a lot of proactive education and safety programs focused on injury prevention and overall education.
