About Kevin M.
Kevin M. Carnie took a straightforward route into the law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Saint Louis University in 2005 and returned to the same campus for his Juris Doctor, awarded in 2008. Those years in St. Louis shaped his legal foundation and tied him to the region where he continues to practice.
After law school he became admitted to practice in both Missouri and Illinois. He built his courtroom skills through steady work on contested matters and by engaging in professional organizations that track courtroom procedure and evidence law. Over time he has developed practical experience on both sides of courtroom preparation, from motion practice to trial filings.
Carnie is a member of several bar groups. He holds current memberships in the Illinois State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, and the Missouri Association of Trial Lawyers. Those affiliations reflect a routine of staying current on rules, case law, and procedural developments across two state systems. He participates in meetings and continuing legal education that cover trial procedure, ethics, and civil practice trends.
At The Simon Law Office, P.C., Carnie serves as an attorney handling litigation matters. He works on cases that proceed in state courts across Missouri and Illinois. His day-to-day responsibilities include drafting pleadings, preparing witnesses, conducting discovery, and arguing motions. He also appears in court for hearings and trials when the case requires an in-person advocate.
Colleagues describe him as someone who prepares thoroughly and follows through on case details. He tends to take a methodical approach to casework, breaking larger problems into manageable steps. That practical stance is evident in how he approaches pretrial strategy and client communication. He also uses professional networks to track changes in substantive law that affect ongoing cases.
Outside the courtroom he remains connected to the legal community through continuing education and bar activities. He attends association events and contributes to committee discussions when schedules permit. His practice remains rooted in the St. Louis legal scene while extending into Illinois courts as needed.
He maintains his practice at The Simon Law Office, P.C., handling litigation and courtroom representation in Missouri and Illinois.
