BJ Knapp

Barbara “BJ” Knapp joined the Walsh Law Firm as an Associate in October of 2023 after graduating from Southern Illinois University Law School in May of 2023.  She received her B.A. degree from Hannibal-LaGrange University in 2020. 

BJ grew up in a small town in Idaho and later moved to Poplar Bluff, Missouri in 2005.  She married her husband in 1998 and has two daughters.  After working as a legal secretary for over 15 years she returned to school and obtained her law degree. During her time as a legal secretary she assisted Steve Walsh in numerous jury trials and the insight she gained in that role was invaluable and proved to be the driving force in obtaining her law degree. 

She is admitted to practice law in Missouri and the U.S. District Court Eastern District.  She is a member of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys, the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

In her spare time, you will find BJ spending time with her friends and family at the lake.  She also enjoys traveling, reading and watching docuseries.
