Milestone caps almost five decades of legal advocacy for the injured and their families, and a parallel commitment to the communities the firm calls home.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brown & Crouppen has recovered more than $2 billion for its clients since the firm was founded in 1979, the personal injury law firm announced today. The milestone places Brown & Crouppen among a small number of personal injury firms nationwide that have publicly reported recoveries at that level. It marks almost five decades in which the firm has paired courtroom advocacy with sustained investment in the communities it serves.

Nearly Five Decades of Advocacy

Ron Brown and Terry Crouppen founded the firm in St. Louis in 1979 with a mission to represent people injured by the negligence of others. Forty-seven years later, Brown & Crouppen has grown into one of the Midwest's largest personal injury practices, with 40 attorneys and 220 legal professionals across nine offices in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois. Through that growth, the firm has remained grounded in the same principles of advocacy, service, and commitment to clients and communities that have guided it since its founding.

"We started our firm to give injured victims someone in their corner when they needed it most," said Terry Crouppen, Founding Partner. "Forty-seven years later, $2 billion tells us we've been able to do that for a lot of people. We're proud of what we've accomplished for our clients and grateful that it has allowed us to give back to the communities that helped us get here."

Making an Impact Beyond the Courtroom

The firm's commitment to the community extends across housing, food security, youth services, and access to justice, reflecting a longstanding belief that its advocacy should extend beyond the courtroom and into the communities it serves. For years, Brown & Crouppen has supported Kids' Chance of Missouri and Illinois. The nonprofit provides college scholarships to the children of workers killed or seriously injured on the job, the same population many of the firm's attorneys represent in workplace-injury cases.

In addition to financial support, Brown & Crouppen has also placed a growing emphasis on hands-on volunteerism, with employees working alongside local organizations and the people they serve. In 2026, those efforts have included partnering with Moms on a Mission to help distribute nearly 1,000 backpacks to local students, supporting meal distribution for unhoused neighbors in North St. Louis and participating in volunteer opportunities, community events and awareness initiatives throughout the region.

Since 2015, Brown & Crouppen has supported Gateway 180 and its efforts to provide emergency shelter and housing stability for St. Louis families, while also donating meal kits through Operation Food Search to help provide food and essential resources to families across Missouri and Illinois. The firm supports a range of other community organizations, including Habitat for Humanity St. Louis, the Derk Brown Foundation, Annie Malone Children & Family Services, and Sista Strut. Brown & Crouppen has also partnered with the St. Louis Cardinals to create special First Pitch experiences with Rainbows for Kids and the Gateway Down Syndrome Association.

"Some experiences stay with a family forever, and Brown & Crouppen helped us create one of those moments through David's First Pitch," said Abigail Beckord Bosslet with the Gateway Down Syndrome Association. "The Gateway Down Syndrome Association is grateful to have a partner that understands how meaningful opportunities like these can be for individuals with Down syndrome and the people who love them."

In recognition of its work and reputation in the region, Brown & Crouppen has been named a Best Law Firm by St. Louis Post-Dispatch readers in recent years.

"Two billion dollars reflects what we've accomplished, but it doesn't define where we're going," said Andy Crouppen, Managing Partner. "As we look ahead, we remain just as committed to supporting the organizations and communities that serve the same families we advocate for every day."
