Attorneys

Jack received both his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Kansas. At law school, he was elected to the Order of the Coif. He also won an award for outstanding legal writing. Jack began his legal career at Slagle, Bernard & Gorman, P.C., where he was a member of the firm's litigation section. At Slagle, he gained substantial experience defending clients in business disputes, personal injury and products liability cases, and employment matters. Jack then moved to Shughart, Thomson & Kilroy P.C. (now Polsinelli Shughart), where he practiced in the firm's business litigation and contingency fee departments. At Shughart, he found his calling representing plaintiffs in a variety of substantive legal areas, including labor and employment matters, products liability cases, and breach of fiduciary duty claims. Jack was involved in the DexCool Products Liability Multi-District Litigation, which resulted in one of the largest automotive class action settlements ever. He spent the majority of his at Shughart preparing a large wage and hour case for trial against Wal-Mart, which ultimately resulted in a nationwide settlement that some have described as the largest settlement ever for lawsuits over wage violations. In November 2008, Jack joined Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP, where he continues his practice of representing plaintiffs in wage and hour, products liability, commercial and bankruptcy litigation.
