Onder is the founder of OnderLaw, a nationally recognized personal injury and mass tort litigation firm with offices in St. Louis, Missouri; Nashville, Tennessee; and Newport Beach, California. With over $5 billion in settlements and verdicts achieved for plaintiffs, Mr. Onder has built a reputation for taking on causes that drive meaningful change. Notably, he negotiated an $8.9 billion settlement with Johnson & Johnson on behalf of current and future talc-related cancer victims. A pioneer in talcum powder-related ovarian cancer litigation, Mr. Onder filed one of the first cases in the nation and now represents over 20,000 women in what is believed to be the largest such docket in the country.

Mr. Onder’s work has led to life-saving changes in industries, including his groundbreaking litigation on mini-blind-related injuries, which resulted in safer product designs. His firm has achieved numerous landmark verdicts, including the top three largest in Missouri in 2016. Recognized as a leader in mass tort litigation, Mr. Onder has served in key roles across high-profile cases, including Bayer-Monsanto, Zantac, and Paraquat litigation.
