Mandy J. Kamykowski

Mandy is first and foremost a trial lawyer, a dying breed in world dominated by “litigation practice groups.” However, Mandy knows being a defense lawyer requires more than zealously advocating for her clients in the courtroom. From the moment of their first contact, she assumes the equally important role of counselor, taking time to focus on the emotional toll that being named in a lawsuit can take on any defendant. It is important to Mandy that her clients understand the litigation process and are as involved in their representation as they wish to be. She is always available for client questions or concerns and believes strongly that responsiveness is an obligation she owes to every client. Mandy makes it a point to develop a personal relationship with each client so they feel they are a part of a team and not just a defendant in a lawsuit.

Mandy’s trial experience has focused on professional liability claims. She is grateful to have clients who have entrusted her with defending dozens of cases to trial, including multiple birth injury cases seeking damages in excess of $20,000,000. Having practiced throughout the States of Missouri and Illinois for over 20 years, Mandy prides herself in having earned a reputation within the bench and bar as an honest, hard-working advocate for her clients who upholds the rule of law while practicing with the utmost professionalism.

Because every client has a different outlook on what a “successful” resolution of a claim or lawsuit may be, Mandy has honed the skills needed to be effective outside the courtroom as well. She has participated in countless mediations and direct settlement negotiations, using creativity in her approach to resolving claims and lawsuits to the satisfaction of her clients.

Whether the goal is early resolution of a claim or aggressively defending a case to a jury verdict at trial, Mandy’s experience and KT’s resources serve clients with excellent, cost-effective legal services.

Outside the office, Mandy can be found reading cookbooks or food blogs planning her next family meal, watching her children play sports, or working to close the activity rings on her Apple watch. She lives in St. Louis with her husband, 2 children, and 2 dogs.
