RGG Law recently honored disability attorney Sam Coring for celebrating his 20th Anniversary as a practicing attorney.

In 1995, Coring graduated from the Columbus School of Law at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. That same year he passed the state bar exam in his home state of Missouri and was sworn in as an attorney at the Missouri Supreme Court building in Jefferson City by former Chief Justice John Holstein. He is also a graduate of Springfield Catholic High School in Springfield, Missouri. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Politics from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

While living in our nation’s capital, Coring also worked for eight years as a Congressional aide to U.S. Congressman Mel Hancock (7th District of Missouri). According to Roll Call magazine, at the age of 19, he was the youngest ever Press Secretary serving any Member of Congress.

Coring is licensed to practice law in the state courts of Missouri as well a variety of federal courts, including the Western and Eastern Districts of Missouri, the District of Kansas, the Central and Southern Districts of Illinois, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Coring has also been admitted pro hac vice (for specific cases) to practice in federal courts in the Northern and Eastern Districts of Oklahoma.

Coring joined RGG Law as an associate attorney in 1998 and became a partner in 2004. At RGG Law, Coring represents primarily clients on both Social Security disability and bankruptcy cases, as well as some traffic law cases. He is the former City Prosecutor for the Missouri towns of Willard and Walnut Grove. He is the current managing attorney of RGG Law’s Social Security Department.

“It seems hard to imagine I have been practicing law now for 20 years,” observed Coring. “It has been an honor and privilege to help so many people with what are usually the most important problems in their lives at that point. It gives you a chance to make a positive difference every day. Certainly, I have also been honored to work with some really great colleagues over the years and I appreciate everything they have taught me along the way.”
