Sansone & Lauber

Sansone & Lauber is a St. Louis-based law firm that helps people through some of the toughest times in life. Whether you’ve been injured in an accident or charged with a crime, they’re the kind of lawyers who take your case seriously, treat you with respect, and fight to get you results.

The firm is led by Ben Sansone and Paul Lauber—two experienced attorneys who’ve spent years helping people across Missouri. They're not some giant law firm where you never meet your lawyer. When you call Sansone & Lauber, you speak directly to them. They listen. They guide you. And they go to work for you.

They focus on personal injury and criminal defense, which means they know these areas inside and out. They don’t try to do it all—they do what they do best.

Helping Injured People Get Back on Their Feet

When someone is hurt in an accident, life can get overwhelming. You’re in pain, missing work, and bills keep coming. Insurance companies might try to rush you into a small settlement—or worse, blame you for something that wasn’t your fault.

Sansone & Lauber steps in to handle those battles for you. They help people who’ve been hurt in:

• Car accidents

• Motorcycle wrecks

• Truck crashes

• Bicycle collisions

• Pedestrian accidents

• Slip and fall injuries

• Dog bites

• Wrongful death cases

Their goal is to make sure you’re not left with unpaid medical bills or lost wages you can’t recover. They fight to get the compensation you need to heal and move on.

Criminal Defense That Actually Defends You

If you’ve been charged with a crime, it’s easy to feel like the system is against you. The truth is, without the right lawyer, you can get lost in the process—and end up with consequences that follow you for years.

Sansone & Lauber defends people accused of:

• DUI and DWI

• Drug charges

• Gun violations

• Domestic violence

• Theft and burglary

• Assault

• White collar crimes

• Juvenile offenses

They’ve handled both misdemeanors and serious felonies. Whether you're facing jail time or just worried about a mark on your record, they’ll take the time to explain your options and fight to protect your future.

Focused on DUI and DWI Defense in Missouri

DUI and DWI cases are one of their specialties. These cases can get complicated fast. One wrong move—like saying too much to police or missing a hearing—can mean losing your license or worse.

Here’s what they do in a DUI case:

• Review the stop to see if it was legal

• Look at how the field sobriety test was done

• Check for mistakes with the breath or blood test

• Fight license suspension

• Push for charges to be reduced—or dropped

Every DUI case is different. Sometimes the best move is to fight it all the way. Sometimes it’s smarter to negotiate a better outcome. Sansone & Lauber helps you make the call based on your life, not just the law.

Local Attorneys With a Statewide Reach

The main office is in St. Louis, but Sansone & Lauber helps clients all over Missouri. Whether you’re in:

• St. Charles

• Columbia

• Jefferson City

• Kansas City

• Springfield

• Cape Girardeau

• Arnold

• Wentzville

• Or anywhere in between

They’re ready to help. If you can’t come to the office, they can talk with you by phone or video. Some clients handle everything without ever stepping inside the firm. They make it easy, even if you live far from the city.

Personal Attention From Start to Finish

You’ve probably heard horror stories about law firms that never return calls, leave clients in the dark, or pass cases down to assistants. Sansone & Lauber is different.

Here’s what makes their approach stand out:

• You talk directly to a lawyer—not just staff

• They explain your case in plain language

• They keep you updated along the way

• They actually call you back

They know you’re not a legal expert, and they don’t expect you to be. They break it down, step by step, so you always know what’s going on. That kind of personal attention helps

clients feel supported, especially during a stressful time.

Honest Reviews From Past Clients

If you read online reviews, you’ll see that Sansone & Lauber has a strong reputation. Clients appreciate how they’re treated—with honesty, patience, and respect.

Here’s what one client said:

"I got injured in a motorcycle accident. The other driver blamed me, but I knew it wasn’t my fault. Ben listened, believed in my case, and fought for me. He ended up getting me a settlement that covered my surgery and rehab. I’ll never forget that."

And another client who faced criminal charges wrote:

"I made a mistake and got arrested for something stupid. I was scared and thought I’d lose everything. Paul didn’t judge me—he just got to work. He found problems with the evidence, and the case was dismissed. He gave me a second chance."

These aren’t just cases to Sansone & Lauber. They’re people. And that shows in every review.

Serious Injury Cases Need Serious Legal Help

Not all injuries are minor. Some accidents leave people dealing with long-term pain or permanent damage. Sansone & Lauber handles serious injury claims, including:

• Brain injuries

• Spinal cord injuries

• Severe burns

• Multiple broken bones

• Amputations

• Paralysis

• Loss of life (wrongful death)

When the injury is serious, the case needs more work. You may need to bring in doctors, medical experts, or accident investigators. These cases often involve big insurance companies trying to pay as little as possible.

Sansone & Lauber knows how to stand up to them. They’ve won multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts for injury clients across Missouri.

Flat Fees and Contingency Pricing

One of the first questions people ask is: How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

Here’s how Sansone & Lauber handles it:

• Personal Injury Cases: You pay nothing upfront. They only get paid if they win your case. Their fee is a percentage of the money you recover. No win, no fee.

• Criminal Defense Cases: They usually offer flat fees. This means you know the cost from day one—no surprise bills or hourly rates.

They’re upfront about costs and will talk through everything with you before you agree to anything.
