About Brian J.
Brian J. Amick is an attorney admitted to practice in Missouri, Kansas, the Federal Circuit and the Eighth Circuit. He appears in both state and federal forums and has experience arguing matters at the appellate level. His admissions signal a practice that moves between trial work in state courts and appeals in federal courts.
His peers have recognized his work. As of 2026, he is rated by Super Lawyers in their peer-review process and holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell. Those ratings are based on evaluations by fellow attorneys and judges and speak to how others in the profession assess his performance and courtroom conduct.
Amick’s courtroom work spans a range of procedural settings. He handles litigation in Missouri and Kansas courts and handles appeals in the Federal Circuit and the Eighth Circuit. That combination requires attention to both trial-level fact development and the different standards and briefs required on appeal. He has managed filings across these jurisdictions and has taken part in oral argument before appellate panels.
Colleagues describe him as a practical lawyer who concentrates on the details that matter in litigation: motions practice, evidentiary disputes, and appellate briefing. He prepares written submissions and presents oral argument when appeals advance. His practice draws on an understanding of how trial records must be developed to withstand appellate scrutiny, and how appellate counsel must craft issues for review.
Outside the courtroom, Amick engages in the professional networks that sustain appellate and trial advocacy. Peer-review ratings and courtroom appearances suggest regular contact with other attorneys, judges, and court staff across his admitted jurisdictions. That network can affect how cases move through state and federal systems, from motion practice to final appeal.
He maintains an active practice representing clients in matters before Missouri and Kansas state courts and in appeals before the Federal Circuit and the Eighth Circuit. He currently focuses his practice on litigation and appellate work in the jurisdictions where he is admitted.
