Mr. Guinness has written an authoritative work on Mechanics Liens and the Prevailing Wage Law in Missouri. Mr. Guinness has been chosen by many governmental entities to advise them in their municipal affairs. His construction cases range from multi-million dollar public works projects such as the Superfund Weldon Spring Site Remedial Action Project and the Washington Public Power Supply System nuclear power plants, large private projects like Conrail's overseas coal loading facilities, Miller Act claims on federal projects, the use of the RICO statute in construction matters, mechanics liens in Missouri and Illinois, and residential construction. Mr. Guinness’ personal injury practice includes automotive collisions, workplace accidents, and premises liability cases. In a recent head injury case against a private individual, he successfully negotiated a settlement of more than $1,400,000.00 after the client was told that there was only $50,000 in insurance.
