About Gino
Gino Gusmano built a practice that crosses state lines. He works in the St. Louis metro area and maintains a presence in O’Fallon, Illinois. His career reflects steady professional steps rather than sudden turns.
He earned a B.S. from Southwest Missouri State University in 1996. He then attended Saint Louis University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2000. Those years set the foundation for a practice grounded in Midwestern courts and clients.
Shortly after law school he secured admission to the Missouri bar in 2000. The following year he gained admission to the Illinois bar and to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in 2001. Those admissions allowed him to handle matters in both state and federal forums across two states.
Gusmano’s professional affiliation is with Tapella & Eberspacher LLC. At the firm he has represented clients in matters brought in Missouri and Illinois courts. He appears in state court dockets and before the federal bench when cases fall within the Eastern District of Missouri. His work has required managing filings, courtroom appearances and client communications across jurisdictions.
He practices out of offices that serve the greater St. Louis region and the adjoining Illinois suburbs. That arrangement places him close to the state courts where he is admitted and within reach of clients on both sides of the Mississippi River. His mailing and administrative functions are coordinated to support those regional practices.
Colleagues describe Gusmano as a lawyer who understands the mechanics of litigation and the logistics of serving clients in a bi-state market. He handles the procedural demands that come with practicing in multiple courts and adjusts to the different rules that each forum imposes. He also brings the continuity of a long-term legal career; he has been active in the Missouri and Illinois bars since the early 2000s.
As of 2026 he continues his work at Tapella & Eberspacher LLC, representing clients in Missouri and Illinois state courts and in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
