Stephen R. Schultz: Dedicated Personal Injury Lawyer in St. Louis
Stephen R. Schultz is a passionate and experienced personal injury lawyer in St. Louis, Missouri, dedicated to fighting for the rights of individuals and families who have suffered serious injuries due to the negligence of others. His career is built on a foundation of profound empathy, earned firsthand through a life-altering experience – a devastating motor vehicle crash that fundamentally shaped his path. This transformative event ignited a fierce commitment to advocate for those facing overwhelming insurance companies and corporations, a commitment that has led to the formation of one of the Midwest’s most respected plaintiff personal injury law firms, Schultz Myers Personal Injury Lawyers.
Stephen’s journey began with a profound personal struggle. The serious motor vehicle crash he endured in his early twenties left him unable to walk for months, providing him with a unique and invaluable perspective on the challenges faced by clients dealing with complex injury claims.

Stephen’s primary focus has been on complex commercial motor vehicle litigation – a field characterized by significant risk and potential for catastrophic injury or death. Over the past decade, he has litigated more than 100 cases involving tractor-trailers and other commercial motor vehicles, consistently demonstrating a deep understanding of the legal complexities and industry standards involved. He expertly navigates the intricacies of federal and state regulations governing trucking companies and utilizes this knowledge to vigorously defend his clients’ rights against powerful corporations.
