Every case, every time. That's not a tagline we picked because it sounded good. We both spent years at large firms before starting our own, and built this practice specifically so no client would ever feel like a file number. You get the same trial-tested experience without getting lost in the shuffle.

$900,000 recovered for a client injured at a local restaurant when her chair collapsed, causing significant neck and shoulder injuries. The case hinged on moving fast. Our team acted quickly to preserve the restaurant's security footage before it could be deleted, and that video ended up being the deciding factor in the settlement.

Brady's one of the two names on our door, and he still remembers what it was like sitting on the other side of the table. Before co-founding this firm, he was magna cm laude out of SIU Law, then spent years defending big companies in court. These days he uses that same insider knowledge for the people those companies used to fight against.

Ask anyone who's worked with him, and they'll tell you the same thing: he answers his phone. $10,000,000+ recovered for his clients, and he still treats every case like it's personal. Because to him, it is.

To the truck drivers keeping the region running, thank you. It's a demanding job on some unforgiving roads. When a commercial truck accident does happen, the cases get complicated fast between multiple insurance policies, black box data, and federal trucking regulations. That's exactly the kind of case we take on.

Over $50,000,000 recovered for our clients, and every number represents a person who walked in worried and walked out with a plan. A $400,000 recovery for a client hurt when a ceiling collapsed and required neck surgery. $350,000 after a piece fell and struck a client on a construction site. $300,000 for a trip and fall over an unmarked sidewalk at a local Walmart.

Different accidents, same outcome: someone in their corner who wouldn't settle for less than they deserved.

School's back in session across Belleville, O'Fallon, and Highland, which means more kids walking, biking, and waiting at bus stops in the morning rush. Take the extra few seconds at crosswalks and never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. It's an easy rule to forget when you're running late, but the consequences aren't small.

Congratulations to our very own John Hipskind on being named to Best Lawyers in America, specifically Personal Injury Litigation for Plaintiffs. It's one of the most selective legal recognitions out there, based entirely on peer review from other attorneys in the field. Fourteen years in, John still treats every client's case like it's the only one on his desk. That's the part the awards don't show.

A family boarded their 12-week-old puppy, Birdie, believing she would be safe.

According to a lawsuit filed by Hipskind & McAninch, Birdie suffered fatal injuries after being attacked by another dog while in the care of a Highland boarding kennel.

Now, the case is raising a bigger question: Should Illinois law continue treating the loss of a beloved pet mostly as a property loss?

For many families, a dog is not just property. It is part of the household.

🚨 A man allegedly walked through a Belleville Walmart with an unsheathed knife for nearly an hour before two shoppers were stabbed.

According to a newly filed lawsuit, employees and security personnel allegedly saw these warning signs…but no one called police before the attack happened.

Now, serious questions are being raised about store safety, security procedures, and whether this violence could have been prevented.
