About

I finished my undergraduate degree in 1984 from University of Missouri, Columbia and then went on to complete my JD from Washington University, St. Louis in 1991. While in law school I was a member of the Washington University regional winning Mock Trial team. I  am licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri and over my career I have represented hundreds of individuals in the St. Louis City, St. Louis County and Franklin County areas.  My first job out of law school was working for a plaintiff’s railroad litigation firm where I was able to obtain trial and hearing experience in nine different venues in the United States. In 1995 I left that practice to become a partner in my own firm with two other partners.  Since the end of 2010 I have been a sole practitioner. Outside of my law practice, since 1991,  I have been able to combine my undergraduate education experience with my trial knowledge as an adjunct professor with Washington University in St. Louis. I  began as an adjunct professor with the undergraduate mock trial program. After a few years, I was then hired to be an adjunct professor with the Law School teaching a Pretrial class then later returned to teaching Mock Trial, but this time at the Law School. I am honored to coach the Washington University Law School mock trial team which has qualified for the National Competition more times than any other school in the entire country. I have been married to my lovely wife Mary for the past 28 years and we have three sons, Sam, 17, Will, 15 and Jack, 12.

Mr. Rudder and his staff kept me informed on what was going on with my case. Very pleased to have use Mark as my attorney. I could tell when I first met him how honest he was and straight forward. I could not have picked a better attorney to represent me.

When we met with Mark we knew right away he was the one who we wanted to represent my husband in his case. He was very straight forward, and honest about everything. What he would charge, what extra things would cost us, how long the case would probably take, as well as what all to expect from the opposing party. We have since then asked him for other advice on things that are not workman comp related and he has helped us and if he doesn’t know he sends us to someone who can. We have referred clients to him and they have all been very satisfied. If we ever need an attorney again he will be our first call ALWAYS. I can guarantee you won’t be let down if you give him a call and a chance to represent you. His in office staff is also all very knowledgeable and polite. They always go above and beyond to help as well. Thanks again Mark and all your staff!!!

Mark has always been a helpful lawyer. He’s helped me out on a few occasions having saved me quite the headache and hassle. His professionalism and commitment to doing everything he can should not be understated. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality legal services.

Mark is a phenomenal lawyer. Mark was very informative, and kept close contact with me every step of the way. Mark fought to get every penney I deserved. Do yourself a favor and call Mark Rudder if you've been injured. You'll be glad you did in the end.
