The law office of Reed, Armstrong, Mudge & Morrissey, P.C., on Thursday announced that attorney Steve Mudge was recently appointed a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers at an induction ceremony in New York. The American College of Trial Lawyers is one of the premier legal associations in America.
Mudge is an established trial attorney with 35 years of experience. His practice areas include negligence, insurance coverage law, bad faith claims, class actions, product liability, premises liability, automobile, commercial trucking injuries, construction defects and injury, and employment law. He also serves as a mediator and arbitrator.
He is a member of the American Bar Association, Illinois and Missouri State Bars, Madison County Bar Association, United States District Court in Central and Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri, the Illinois Association of Defense Trial Counsel and is an Advocate in the American Board of Trial Advocates.

Mudge is also the third generation of his family who has practiced trial law, now for over 100 years in Madison County. He is active in several community organizations, and enjoys several hobbies.
“I have much appreciation and respect for our retired partners, Harry Armstrong and James Gorman, for the opportunity to be a part of the distinguished law firm they built,” said Mudge.
