For 40 years, Langdon & Emison has served as lead counsel in high-stakes litigation involving catastrophic injury, defective products, trucking collisions, and wrongful death.
These cases are complex, aggressively defended, and often referred by other attorneys who recognize the level of experience required to take them to trial. Our firm is built for that responsibility—combining courtroom experience, resources, and strategy to handle cases where the stakes are highest.
While based in Missouri, our firm handles catastrophic injury and complex litigation cases across the country. We work with co-counsel and appear in state and federal courts where our clients need us.

I honestly cannot say enough good about this firm. They basically took me by the hand and guided through the whole process. I was provided with updates and explanations. Their support continues to this day well after my case has been settled. I’m forever grateful.
From the first consultation, I felt at ease with Langdon and Emison. They were attentive to my needs and genuinely cared about my situation. Their team made a complex legal process seem manageable and always kept me informed. I highly recommend their services.
