مؤلف: Chet Pleban

Chet Pleban is a St. Louis attorney with over 40 years of both civil and criminal trial experience. Many of his cases are high-profile and involve law enforcement officers who find themselves on the wrong side of the criminal justice system. In addition to his criminal practice, he also represents people who have suffered serious physical injury and those whose employment was wrongfully terminated. In addition to his law practice, Pleban also provides legal commentary for radio and television outlets as legal issues of importance arise. He has been a guest lecturer at St. Louis University, Washington University, the University of Missouri as well as many of the local high schools, and regularly teaches Continuing Legal Education classes in Missouri and other states. His first novel, Conviction of Innocence, was a fictionalized account of a St. Louis police officer he represented who was accused of murdering a burglary suspect. The book was a three-year project that he wrote while spending the winter months in Florida away from not only the St. Louis weather but also the demands of a busy law practice. While continuing to write during the Florida winters, Pleban divides his time during the summer months between his home in St. Louis where he continues with his active law practice and his summer home at the Lake of the Ozarks.
