Over the course of the past several years, many industries have changed in exponential ways, due to evolving factors such as new technological tools, societal changes, and beyond. One of the sectors that is often underestimated in just how much change it has gone through as of late is the legal field. Fortunately, for anyone having difficulty making sense of the modern legal landscape, Combs Waterkotte specializes in guiding their clients through tumultuous terrain.
Combs Waterkotte is a Missouri and Illinois criminal defense firm built on aggressive advocacy, strategic preparation, and client-centered representation. Founded by Steven Waterkotte and Christopher Combs, the firm defends individuals facing criminal charges, DWI/DUI offenses, orders of protection, serious felonies, white-collar matters, and federal cases with a focus on protecting constitutional rights and pursuing the best possible outcomes.
Steven Waterkotte and Christopher Combs are the founding partners of Combs Waterkotte. The two of them are trusted criminal defense attorneys, each with decades worth of experience handling high-stakes and complex legal matters in their own right.
The firm was established on the belief that every individual deserves a fair trial and a vigorous defense, regardless of the accusations against them. Furthermore, the duo created Combs Waterkotte because they were ambitious about providing exceptional, client-centered representation to individuals facing serious legal challenges. Built on trust, transparency, and relentless advocacy, Combs Waterkotte provides each client with a customized strategic defense tailored to their specific circumstances.
By prioritizing their clients above all else, Combs Waterkotte’s workflow is rooted in meticulous case preparation, tailored defense strategies, and strong courtroom advocacy for clients facing serious accusations. Beyond the courtroom, the firm prioritizes transparency, accessibility, and consistent communication with their clients.
With many law offices, it can be difficult to get clear answers or to establish reliable forms of communication. Combs Waterkotte is the opposite, ensuring that their clients can reach them anytime they need to, so they can better understand their legal options and feel supported throughout the process.
The firm has been widely recognized for its successes, as have the founders themselves. For instance, Steven Waterkotte’s listed recognitions include Best of the Best Top 10, Lawyers of Distinction, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and Missouri Top 10 Criminal Defense Attorney. Meanwhile, Christopher Combs’s listed recognitions include Super Lawyers in Missouri, Kansas Rising Star, Top 10 Under 40 from the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys, and 10 Best Attorneys in Missouri from the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys.
Combs Waterkotte doesn’t just strive to provide such reliable and trustworthy legal representation for their clients in a microcosm; the firm longs to do so to help make a genuine difference within their own community.
The firm’s leadership is also connected to community service, including work with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Attorneys for Amachi Missouri, the St. Louis community, and the National Peer Recovery Alliance. Through their professional and philanthropic efforts, they strive to strengthen families, protect vulnerable individuals, and foster hope and opportunity within the community. This is indicative of how Combs, Waterkotte, and their entire Missouri criminal defense law firm strive to make a difference, even in their off hours.
