Serving the Best of Missouri's Emergency Community since 1977
Founded to Help those who Help Others
EMS Legal Services was established in 1977 by Frank E. Foster to serve emergency ambulance districts throughout the State of Missouri. Drawing from his experience working with the Missouri Department of Health & Human Services, Frank Foster developed a practice focused on meeting the needs of ambulance districts and boards who help administer EMS services. Over the years, the practice broadened to include fire protection districts and emerging 911 districts.
Today, EMS Legal Services works with more than one hundred thirty emergency service districts throughout Missouri, providing each district with the legal expertise needed to address issues ranging from federal laws involving Medicare collections, state laws under the Missouri Sunshine Law and local regulations enacted by other governmental agencies.
