We Fight For You
When your life, your family, or your freedom is on the line, you need lawyers who actually go to trial. Firm founder Stephen Walsh has tried cases across Southeast Missouri for more than 50 years — first as a partner at Moore, Walsh & Albright, and since 2014 at his own firm — handling personal injury, wrongful death, and criminal defense.
Why Walsh
We are not a settlement mill. We prepare every case as if it is going to a jury — because the other side knows when a lawyer is willing to try the case, and when one is not.
How We Can Help
Our Track Record
Behind every verdict and settlement is a person or a family whose life was on the line. See how we have fought for our neighbors across Southeast Missouri.

Walsh Law Firm opened its doors in Poplar Bluff in January 2014 — but Stephen Walsh's work for the people of Southeast Missouri began decades earlier. Steve earned his law degree from the University of Missouri in 1975 and has spent more than 50 years trying civil and criminal cases across the state, including in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and the United States Claims Court, and arguing before all three Missouri appellate divisions and the Missouri Supreme Court.
Long before Walsh Law Firm opened, Steve was already a fixture in Southeast Missouri courtrooms — trying cases for Butler County families through the firms and partnerships he practiced with over the decades. That half-century of local trial experience is the foundation the firm is built on today.
We're based on Main Street in Poplar Bluff. We know the Butler County Courthouse — the judges, the prosecutors, and the small-town dynamics that shape how a case really moves. When you hire us, you're not getting a name on a billboard from St. Louis — you're getting a lawyer who has lived and worked where you live for a generation.
In Their Words
I was charged with a DWI from 10 years prior. Mr. Walsh was able to get my criminal charges dismissed. He is the best of the best!— Chris
Fantastic help— Matt Carter
Steve Walsh represented me in a DWI jury trial. The jury came back after 17 minutes of deliberation with a Not Guilty verdict. I would like to say thanks to the Walsh Law Firm for supporting me and helping me out through all of this trouble that I was in. I would recommend this firm to anyone who needs assistance with any legal matters. The Walsh legal assistants are awesome.— Neal
