Joseph Ott

Joseph Ott founded OTT Law with a simple but powerful belief: that every client — regardless of the complexity of their legal matter or the power of their adversary — deserves skillful, dedicated, and fearless representation. A St. Louis native and graduate of Saint Louis University School of Law, Joseph has built his practice on a reputation for meticulous preparation, courtroom confidence, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for each person he represents. He has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients, successfully defended individuals facing serious criminal charges, and guided businesses through complex transactions and disputes, earning recognition from Super Lawyers, Avvo, and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum along the way.

What sets Joseph apart from other attorneys is his embrace of technology as a force multiplier in litigation and client service. Long before legal tech became an industry buzzword, Joseph was integrating data analytics, digital evidence management, and advanced presentation tools into his practice — allowing him to build stronger cases, communicate more effectively with judges and juries, and deliver better results for clients. His technology-forward approach extends to how OTT Law operates as a firm: clients benefit from streamlined communication, transparent case management, and access to their attorney and case information at any hour. This combination of legal acumen and technological sophistication gives OTT Law clients a meaningful edge in an increasingly complex legal environment.

At the core of Joseph's practice is an unwavering commitment to the people he serves. He takes the time to understand each client's full situation, explain their options honestly, and craft a strategy that aligns with their goals and values. Whether he is cross-examining a witness in a personal injury trial, negotiating a corporate acquisition, or standing beside a client in a criminal proceeding, Joseph brings the same intensity, integrity, and personal investment to every matter. His clients in St. Louis and throughout Missouri and Illinois know that when they hire OTT Law, they are getting an attorney who will treat their case as if it were his own.
