John F. Cooney Moves Law Practice to Danna McKitrick

PROMINENT DEFENSE ATTORNEY JOINS ST. LOUIS LAW FIRM

Clayton, MO – Local law firm Danna McKitrick P.C. announces John F. Cooney as their newest principal. Cooney concentrates his practice in the defense of civil law suits with emphasis in the transportation, retail, and hospitality sectors, defending individuals and companies through their insurers or directly.

During his 25-year career, Cooney has brought more than 75 jury trials to verdict and personally handled more than 25 appeals and dozens of mediations. He has successfully defended death and serious injury cases with damage amounts often exceeding six figures.

“John has established a strong reputation as a litigator,” says Michael McKitrick, who leads the firm’s litigation practice. “His trial experience is invaluable. He adds depth and wisdom to our firm’s practice and our associate mentoring programs. We are pleased to be attracting attorneys of John’s caliber to our firm.”

Recognized for his knowledge regarding Missouri tort reform, Cooney is both a local and national speaker on related topics. He is also an adjunct professor in trial advocacy at Saint Louis University School of Law.

“I enjoy sharing experience-based knowledge with young lawyers because I was trained by very good lawyers when I was young,” Cooney explains. “These gentlemen generously shared wisdom and skills which have been a constant source of strength. A sense of debt and gratitude drives my desire to ‘give back’ through teaching others skills and wisdom to help them have a successful career. I’d be honored to impact a young attorney half so much as my mentors impacted me.”

Cooney earned his J.D. from Saint Louis University School of Law, and his B.A. in history from University of Notre Dame.
