About Robert
Biography
I handle personal injury cases across central Illinois — car and truck accidents, motorcycle wrecks, nursing home neglect, premises liability, dog bites, wrongful death. I also handle adoptions, which is the part of the job where I get to be in a courtroom for a happy reason. Between my father's career and mine, this firm has been doing this work in Peoria County for over fifty years.
I take cases I believe in, I learn them thoroughly, and I fight over them when the other side won't do the right thing. I'm not a volume practice.
