About Christopher W.
Christopher W. Dysart earned his law degree from Saint Louis University School of Law, receiving a J.D. in 1988. He served as a law clerk to the Missouri Supreme Court in 1987 while finishing his legal studies. That early exposure to appellate procedure and judicial decision-making shaped the start of a career spent largely in courts and legal rooms where evidence and argument matter.
After graduation Dysart joined the United States Department of Justice as a trial lawyer in 1988. He spent the early years of his career conducting trial work for the federal government. That role gave him courtroom experience and a grounding in federal practice that he carried into later positions in private practice.
In the 1990s Dysart moved into private firms. Records show he was an attorney at Armstrong Teasdale Schlafly Davis & Dicus in 1994 and later worked at Schlapprizzi Lawyers at Law in 1996. He established The Dysart Law Office in 1998. Those moves trace a transition from government trial work to sustained practice in law firms and, ultimately, founding his own office.
Dysart is licensed to practice in both Missouri and Illinois. Over several decades he has maintained admissions in those two jurisdictions and has built a practice informed by his trial background and court-side experience. Colleagues and court records note the continuity of courtroom work from his DOJ days through his private practice, and his career reflects steady engagement with litigation and legal procedure.
His professional path combines public service and private practice. The clerkship at the Missouri Supreme Court placed him at the center of appellate review early on. The DOJ assignment introduced federal trial practice. Time at regional and local firms broadened his client-side work and prepared him to open his own practice in 1998. The Dysart Law Office has served as the base for his work since then.
As of 2026 Christopher W. Dysart continues to practice from The Dysart Law Office. He holds licenses in Illinois and Missouri and remains active in litigation and court proceedings in those states.
