I'm an attorney and founding member of EASON & VAN LEUNEN, LLC, in St. Louis, Missouri.
I grew up in Warson Woods, Missouri. I attended the Warson Woods Elementary School--Duran Duran and "Jack and Diane." "Footloose" was on the Top 40 charts, while I attended Hixson Junior High School. Guns & Roses and "Orange Crush" were still fresh as I played football for the mighty-mighty Statesmen of Webster Groves High School.
I was fortunate enough to be accepted by the Virginia Military Institute ("VMI"). My major, at first, was Biology. I remember being handed a fetal shark dissection manual for my first biology lab assignment. The manual was beautifully illustrated with nice bright colors. Each shark organ was clearly drawn and delightfully designated. I studied this manual. I thought, "this is the power of mankind--to take the unknown and make it knowable."
I remember cutting open that shark...I couldn't tell one organ from another. The mess in front of me looked like Grey Poupon stirred into a shallow plate of pasta.
Shortly thereafter, I walked to my academic advisor's office, and changed my major to English. I never looked back.
After VMI, I entered the Master of Arts program in English at the University of Missouri-Columbia ("Mizzou"). I taught several Exposition and Argumentation classes at Mizzou, most of which were English as a Second Language ("ESL"). I loved it.
I met my wife, Stephanie, at Mizzou. We have been married for thirteen years. We have two sons, Paul (9) and Etienne (6), and an eighteen month old daughter, Alice.
After Mizzou, I taught for five years (1998-2002) at St. Charles Community College, which is affectionately called "skuh" by everyone who graces its halls. At the same time, I enrolled in the night-program at Saint Louis University School of Law.
In September of 2003, I became a member of the Missouri Bar.

JAMES W. EASON, Member

He is familiar with the tactics used by insurance companies to deny injured victims their rights, and that turns his stomach. Mr. Eason takes pride in making sure that his clients get the attention they deserve and are satisfied with the results.

PETER RUSSELL VAN LEUNEN, Member
CONTACT PETER RUSSELL VAN LEUNEN
Peter Van Leunen has experience ranging from matters in the municipal courts of the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area to the Federal Court of Appeals, Eastern District of Missouri. Mr. Van Leunen believes that the best defense is a good offense. "Why plod through the entire process, if you can circumvent the cost and expense of litigation with a Motion to Dismiss or cut to the quick with a Motion for Summary Judgment? It saves clients time and money. That means the world to clients."
Mr. Van Leunen enjoys spending time with his wife and three young children, attending opera productions at the Touhill (University of Missouri, St. Louis), strolling the U. City Loop and exploring the St. Louis hip-hop scene.
