Brian Boos

Brian has handled cases in just about every practice area we have and, along the way, tried over 60 jury trials and argued over 100 appeals. Never one to sit still, he crosses Missouri and Kansas in order to help clients wherever needed. That eagerness to pitch-in has landed Brian spots on the American Board of Trial Advocates and America’s Top 100 Civil Defense Litigators®.

He has also been active in several statewide lawyer service organizations, including lawyer assistance programs, the Commission on Professionalism in the Bar, and the Kansas Task Force on Attorney Well-Being.

Practice Groups

Litigation

Founded as a litigation firm in 1963, our attorneys carry on our tradition of substantial deposition and courtroom experience, with hands-on training that begins early in every attorney’s career. The litigation department is the largest practice area at Wallace Saunders, with more than half of our attorneys working under the Litigation Practice Area umbrella.

Personal

Life can throw you a few curveballs. Brian has seen it, and always responds with his favorite quote: “If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.” Thanks, Yogi Berra.

Review of Potential Coronavirus Liability in Missouri and Kansas

Currently, the United States is experiencing more and more individuals testing positive for the Coronavirus, or COVID-19. One question an employer might have is whether or not they may be liable under workers’ compensation if one of their employees contracts the virus. Our firm has reviewed Missouri and Kansas law to determine possible defenses that could be raised should a claim be brought regarding COVID-19.
