About Michael

Mr. Harvath is an attorney licensed in both Missouri and Illinois. He has been practicing in the areas of personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, workers' compensation, insurance litigation, social security/disability, and business litigation since his graduation from Saint Louis University School of Law.

Mr. Harvath was born, raised, educated, and continues to reside in St. Louis. The scope of his practice encompasses a very large geographical area, due to his membership in both the Missouri Bar and the Illinois Bar. He handles cases from all areas of Missouri, including Kansas City, and his practice covers all areas of Illinois as well, extending as far as Chicago.

Mike's career experience includes being hired and working at a prestigious top-10 large St. Louis trial law firm and also includes experience as a litigation attorney at a reputable medical malpractice "boutique" firm. Mr. Harvath's rare opportunity to receive the high-quality training that is characteristic of working at top-tier litigation law firms has given him a skill set and an analytical ability that has no doubt contributed to his solid record in obtaining large settlements.

Mr. Harvath's approach to lawyering is a product of the values and virtues he was taught by his years of Jesuit education, his family, and by select other inspirational figures in his life. One of the most central concepts in his approach to work and to life is being a "man for others", an idea that is at the fore-front of his approach to problem-solving. It is his genuine desire to help people through difficult problems, both legal and otherwise, that led him to start a practice geared towards serving individuals, rather than insurance companies or large corporations.

Over the years, Mr. Harvath has had success with many different types of injury cases, including: serious and fatal injuries, auto accidents, truck accidents, defective product injuries, slip and fall injuries, medical malpractice injuries, birth injuries, work-related injuries, emotional distress injuries, injuries to reputation and business expectancies and many more.

He has had particular success with back and neck injury cases, both in the auto accident context, and also those occurring on the job. Mr. Harvath also handles social security/disability claims, employment harassment and discrimination claims, vehicle diminished value claims, and retaliatory discharge and wrongful termination cases.
