About Richard
Richard Zalasky earned his J.D. from Saint Louis University School of Law in 1981. He is admitted to practice in both Missouri and Illinois, and his career spans the decades since he finished law school.
He began practicing law in the early 1980s. Much of his work has been in private practice. He has long been associated with Brown & Crouppen Law Office, where he has handled a range of client matters. His practice reflects steady experience rather than flash. He prefers direct solutions and clear explanations.
Zalasky’s courtroom experience is balanced by work outside trial settings. He has prepared pleadings, negotiated settlements, and advised clients on procedural and strategic choices. He has represented individuals and businesses in proceedings in state courts in both Missouri and Illinois. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in litigation and thorough in preparation.
Over the years he has maintained involvement in professional circles. He holds memberships in bar and legal organizations and has kept current with developments in practice and procedure. That participation has informed his approach to case strategy and client counseling. He has also worked with other attorneys on cross-jurisdictional issues that arise when matters span the two states where he is licensed.
Clients who seek him out tend to expect straightforward guidance. His written work — briefs, motions and client communications — aims for clarity. He balances an eye for detail with attention to practical outcomes. He remains at Brown & Crouppen Law Office, where he continues to represent and advise clients in matters across Missouri and Illinois, focusing on advising and representing clients in disputes and transactional issues.
