Excellence in Advocacy: Cullan & Cullan Recognized in Missouri Lawyers Media’s 2026 Medical Malpractice “Power List”

At Cullan & Cullan, we have always believed that the strongest legal representation comes from a deep, dual understanding of both the law and the complex medicine behind every injury. This year, that commitment has been recognized once again on a prestigious stage.

We are proud to announce that our team has been featured in the Missouri Lawyers Media 2026 Power List for Medical Malpractice Litigation.

What is the "Power List"?

The Power List is a definitive guide to the most influential attorneys in Missouri’s legal landscape. Compiled by the editorial team at Missouri Lawyers Media, the list identifies the "power players" who have made significant impacts through high-stakes litigation, landmark verdicts, and a consistent track record of success for their clients.

For medical malpractice—a field known for its high barrier to entry and intense technical demands—this recognition is reserved for attorneys who possess the specialized skill set required to hold major healthcare systems and insurance companies accountable.

The Advantage of Doctors Practicing Law

Our inclusion in the 2026 Power List underscores the "invaluable edge" that defines our firm. As medical doctors who are also trial attorneys, we don’t just read medical records; we understand the physiological reality of our clients' trauma.

Whether it is a complex birth injury, a surgical error, or a life-altering misdiagnosis, our dual-degree approach allows us to:

• Expose Negligence: We can identify where the standard of care was breached with surgical precision.
• Level the Playing Field: We speak the same language as the experts and hospital defense teams, ensuring our clients aren't intimidated by medical jargon.
• Maximize Recovery: By fully articulating the long-term medical impact of an injury, we fight for settlements and verdicts that truly cover a lifetime of care.

A Year of Impact

This recognition follows a series of significant achievements for our firm, including our recent $12 million unanimous federal jury verdict in a cancer misdiagnosis case. These results are more than just numbers; they represent justice for families who have suffered due to medical negligence.

We want to thank our peers and the Missouri legal community for this recognition. Most importantly, we thank our clients for trusting us to be their voice during the most difficult chapters of their lives.
