About Regina L.
Regina L. Wells built her legal foundation in the Midwest. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in English at Washington University in St. Louis in 1997. Three years later she earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Missouri - Columbia in 2000. Those formative years combined coursework in writing and law and set the stage for a practice spanning state lines.
Her career has included work at Summers Compton Wells LLC. In 2023 she is listed as a lawyer at that firm. The record shows sustained membership in local bar groups beginning in 2000, suggesting an early and steady engagement with the legal community. She maintains current memberships in the St. Louis County Bar Association and the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis.
Wells is admitted to practice in both Missouri and Illinois. That dual admission means she appears in courtrooms and on matters that cross state boundaries. Colleagues describe cases that require navigation of procedural rules in two jurisdictions as part of the regular rhythm of her work. Her background in English has informed her drafting and appellate work, where precise language matters.
Over the years she has moved between courtroom work and brief writing. That blend shows up in litigation files and in filings that require careful legal research. She has handled matters that demand a mix of adversarial advocacy and detailed written submissions. Sources familiar with the firm note that she contributes on cases where jurisdictional questions or complex pleadings are at issue.
Within local legal organizations she has kept an active presence. Participation in county and metropolitan bar associations has put her in contact with other lawyers, judges, and court staff. Those connections often shape how practitioners approach scheduling, motion practice, and the sharing of procedural developments across the region.
Her education and affiliations frame a practice grounded in the rules and procedures of Midwestern courts. She brings a courtroom-ready approach to firm matters and briefs that aim to persuade judges and opposing parties alike. Wells continues to work from Summers Compton Wells LLC, handling matters that arise in both Missouri and Illinois jurisdictions.
She is currently practicing at Summers Compton Wells LLC, handling matters in Missouri and Illinois.
