Experience

George focuses his practice in the areas of product liability, casualty insurance defense, and commercial litigation. During his distinguished career, George has been retained by casualty insurers and major corporations in multi-million dollar lawsuits involving product liability, serious industrial/commercial negligence and complex business torts.

After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center, George served as the senior law clerk to William H. Becker, then Chief Judge of the federal court in Kansas City, Missouri. After his federal clerkship, George joined the firm of Gage & Tucker, where he practiced as a partner for nearly 25 years. When the Gage firm merged with the Lathrop firm, George brought his product liability and commercial litigation practices to Dysart Taylor in January, 2000.

With over 30 years of jury trial experience in state and federal courts throughout the United States, George has won verdicts/judgments in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arizona. He also successfully prosecuted and defended numerous commercial arbitration claims.

The businesses George defends and advises include casualty insurers and large and medium-sized corporations, particularly manufacturers of cranes, construction and lifting equipment, pollution-control and industrial equipment, as well as commercial cabinetry. In addition to his substantial product liability and casualty defense experience, George also has extensive experience in matters involving the UCC, insurance coverage, business torts, shareholder disputes and complex contractual disputes.
