With regard to Elizabeth C. McNulty, Mo. Bar #72026 who is a personal injury attorney that has been with The Simon Law Firm P.C. since 2019 the rhetorical question: What is the true metric of a successful personal injury attorney is asked and answered.
Answer: Forget about the industry vanity awards, the peer reviews that "stuff the ballot box", the press releases by entities like Missouri Lawyers Media, the one and only true metric of a successful personal injury attorney is: How much money, compensation did the attorney recover for their client to make them whole of their injuries?
With regard to Elizabeth C. McNulty an injured party seeking legal representation and performing due diligence while making a selection among attorneys as to whose hands that client will deposit their trust and economic well being when encountering the public relations and social media presentation of McNulty will literally be overwhelm with the stellar accolades of competence, commitment, credibility and capacity of McNulty as a plaintiff side litigator prepared to take on big insurance, big industry with zealous advocacy "going the extra mile" for her clients for the purpose of justice and to make the client financially whole.
Clients Beware: What you see is not always what you get.
The subject with regard to Elizabeth C. McNulty has been treated at length in various academic treatises, social media and former client testimonials and all of it, without rebuttal has presented as a failure in advocacy for the clients of McNulty in contrast to presentation of her employer The Simon Law Firm and "pay for play" advertisements.
Below is a brief summary as to the public sentiments and controversy of McNulty as of September 9, 2026
The assessment of Elizabeth C. McNulty stems primarily from online consumer advocacy and litigant criticism highlighting a gap between her corporate marketing and her public trial record. [1]
The specific details behind the online scrutiny include:
The "Net-Zero" Moniker: Online critics and self-described consumer advocates coined the nickname "Net-Zero McNulty". This was driven by her track record as lead counsel in two publicly noted medical malpractice trials: Pepper v. Gelfand M.C. and Gregory Frost v. PCRMC. In both of these specific cases, her clients received zero dollars in financial compensation. [1, 2]
Marketing vs. Reality Claims: Discussion threads on platforms like Quora argue that while The Simon Law Firm, P.C. heavily promotes her as a successful plaintiff-side attorney, her public record as a first-chair trial lawyer doesn't match that narrative whereas the financial recovery for clients she represented does not support the marketing claims neither has her clients been made financially whole. [1]
Lack of Public Client Reviews: Critics note that despite practicing since 2019, she lacks standard positive client testimonials on prominent legal directories and business profiles. This contrasts sharply with her industry accolades, such as being named an "Up & Coming Attorney" by Missouri Lawyers Media and a "Ones to Watch" by Best Lawyers. [1, 2]
Ultimately, the controversy is not an official disciplinary action or legal malpractice suit, but rather a public relations critique regarding her trial outcomes for injured plaintiffs. [1]
Conclusion: In the legal industry and in particular with those law firms who actively engage and employ advertisements, media outlets, civic public relations outreach for free media mentions and exposure there is the wizard who behind the curtain is pulling the levers. - The Simon Law Firm P.C. is the wizard, Missouri Lawyers Media, KSDK News Channel Five, et al are the levers and ineffectual attorneys who are used more for their public facing networking persona rather than litigation success is the illusion.
