About Joseph D.
Joseph D. Klenofsky built his legal foundation at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School, earning his J.D. in 2003 after completing a B.S. at the University of Missouri–Columbia. He entered practice in the years that followed and has kept an anchored presence in Missouri’s legal community.
By 2007 Klenofsky was practicing at Klenofsky & Steward, LLC. That year marks his association with several statewide organizations, including membership in the Missouri Bar and in the Missouri Association of Trial Lawyers. He later added admission to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar in 2012. His professional path has stayed steady: court admissions and bar memberships reflect a traditional litigation track.
Klenofsky is admitted to practice in Missouri and in federal courts, including the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. His 2012 admission to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar allows him to file matters there when cases take that step. Those credentials support courtroom work at multiple levels of the judicial system and underscore a practice routinely engaged in litigation processes.
Colleagues and court records show a practitioner who has spent years handling contentious matters. He holds memberships in groups tied to trial practice, including the Missouri Association of Trial Lawyers and related trial-focused organizations. Those affiliations signal regular involvement in civil litigation and trial procedure, rather than a purely transactional or advisory practice.
Klenofsky’s work at Klenofsky & Steward, LLC has been the central feature of his career since the firm’s listing in 2007. He has operated from that office as a lawyer representing clients in state and federal proceedings. The firm name appears on filings and association rosters, linking him to a local litigation practice rather than large national platforms.
Outside the courtroom his record is one of steady professional participation rather than public-facing scholarship or widely publicized appellate victories. He maintains active memberships in the Missouri Bar and trial lawyer organizations and continues to hold admission in federal and supreme court venues. His current practice focuses on litigation in state and federal courts.
