Family Legacy of 100+ years in Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Law
Alvin & his firm were wonderful to work with. Having him on our side during our trying time gave us the peace of mind we needed. An attorney who truly cares for his clients & works endlessly for them.
Alvin represented me after getting hit by a truck while out riding my bike. He is amazing and his paralegal, Beth, is equally as great. They are very friendly, incredibly thorough, and communicate progress really well. I couldn’t be happier with their service. I would highly recommend Wolff and Wolff Trial Lawyers.
Alvin, the attorney and his assistant, Mandy are beyond outgoing, sweet, helpful, understanding, dedicated, respectful, hard working, patient, and caring. You won't get a better duo than these two of helping in a case. They are awesome about answering calls & emails or replaying back in a timely manner. If needing a lawyer for any matters, I would call here first. Two thumbs up & highly recommended.
It is my pleasure to recommend Wolff Trial Lawyers, with my highest enthusiasm! I received a Workers Compensation trial notice and had no idea how to proceed. Alvin and his staff were fantastic, explaining all of my options and making sure that I was protected. I am so grateful to have worked with them!
Alvin was beyond helpful in navigating the stress of our insurance claims post-accident. He negotiated on our behalf and pushed back to get us the compensation we deserved. Beyond just advocating for my best interests, he took the time to make sense of 2+ years of complicated medical records, appointments and diagnoses and worked to understand them and their implication on me in the future and what I would need to take care of myself. Alvin was super accessible to us when we had questions or concerns, even when they were somewhat of a stretch or unrelated. He also was helpful in explaining what additional avenues we had for reimbursement. His guidance and honestly throughout the process, allowed us to finally feel like there was some light on the horizon and I have a hard time believing that any other lawyer would take the time and care that Alvin did or that we would've seen such a positive outcome if not for Alvin.
Alvin was extremely helpful in handling my personal injury case this past year. He and the team are compassionate attorneys who put you first, prioritize your case, are honest and realistic when it comes to potential outcomes, and are committed to standing up on your behalf. I felt complete closure after my accident where they settled on my behalf and closed the case. I deeply appreciate Alvin and the team for what they did for me and helped me achieve the closure I didn't realize I needed. Very communicative throughout the entire process, prompt, and efficient timeline for my case. Highly recommend Wolff Trial Lawyers.

A client received a settlement of $1.9 million in a medical malpractice case. The case involved significant negligence by medical professionals in Southern Missouri, leading to serious and preventable harm. The size of the recovery reflects the severity of the injuries and the aggressive pursuit of accountability against the healthcare provider.
This case involved a traumatic brain injury suffered in St. Louis County. Brain injuries often have lifelong consequences, including memory loss, diminished cognitive function, and major lifestyle adjustments. The $1.25 million settlement provided critical support for ongoing medical care, therapy, and compensation for the life changes caused by the accident.
Another medical malpractice case in St. Louis resulted in a $1.75 million settlement. Cases like these show the importance of holding hospitals and doctors accountable when patients and their families suffer from improper care, surgical mistakes, or preventable errors.
A woman tripped over a bush stump that had not been properly removed or marked, resulting in injuries. The case settled for $75,000, demonstrating how property owners must ensure their premises are safe for visitors and remove hazards.
A bicyclist suffered serious injuries after hitting a poorly repaired pothole. The roadway defect, caused by improper maintenance, created a dangerous depression in the pavement that launched the rider into the air. The $820,000 settlement reflects both the physical injuries and the accountability placed on the party responsible for roadway safety.
In this case, a woman lost control of her vehicle and caused a serious crash. Her husband, who was injured, collected the $250,000 policy limits from her insurance. Even though the accident involved family members, Wolff Trial Lawyers ensured the injured party received compensation.
