Matthew J. Henning

Skilled and Strategic Defense in a Complex Auto Accident Case

I hired Matthew Henning at Roberts Perryman PC after being named in a significant personal injury lawsuit following a multi-vehicle accident in Columbia. The allegations were serious, and the initial demand was substantial. From our first meeting, Matthew's deep knowledge of Missouri tort law and his specific focus on defending personal injury claims were immediately evident. He clearly explained the strategic landscape, including the nuances of comparative fault in our state, which was crucial to our defense. His recognition in Best Lawyers for Personal Injury Litigation - Defendants wasn't just a title; it translated into a well-considered, methodical approach that kept the case from escalating unnecessarily. He was thorough in discovery and effective in negotiations, ultimately securing a settlement that was a fraction of the original demand, which was an outstanding result. My one note, which keeps this from a perfect score, is that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, sometimes taking 2-3 business days. However, his associate was always available for urgent matters. Overall, Matthew Henning provided exceptional legal representation. He is a sharp, dedicated attorney who I would confidently recommend to anyone in the St. Louis or mid-Missouri area needing a strong defense in a personal injury matter.
