Jeffrey Demerath
Adjunct Professor
Partner, Armstrong Teasdale
Before retiring, Jeff was a member of the Litigation practice group at Armstrong Teasdale where he represented corporations and individuals in government investigations and prosecutions arising out of a variety of transactions and circumstances. Prior to joining the firm, Jeff was a legal assistant to Missouri Senator Stuart Symington (D.Mo.). He then joined the U.S. Department of Justice where, for seven years, he served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. His prosecutions in that office included a United States Congressman for bribery, prominent doctors and attorneys involved in a wide-‐spread insurance scam and supervision over one of the first “sting” operations in the country in which FBI agents masqueraded as mafia hitmen to draw criminals into a storefront wired for video and sound.
