After earning undergraduate degrees at Southern Illinois University–Edwardsville—funded by factory work and cemetery maintenance—he attended Saint Louis University Law, bartending evenings and researching cases at a local firm. Upon passing the bar, he joined the Illinois Attorney General’s office, defending state interests while supporting his family with his wife, Laurie, and their three children. In 1990 he founded Haxel Law, focusing on personal injury and workers’ compensation. Recognized for his insider knowledge of insurance tactics, he has negotiated numerous multimillion-dollar settlements, most notably a $1.3 million policy-limit award for a severely injured motorcyclist. Clients praise his no-nonsense approach, integrity, and willingness to go to trial. Outside the office, he stays active playing senior league hockey, cycling scenic trails, and boating on Lake Springfield.

I began my legal career by serving six years as an Assistant State's Attorney in Sangamon County, Illinois, where I tried numerous felony and misdemeanor cases to juries.  I started in the Traffic and Misdemeanor Division, prosecuting petty traffic tickets and misdemeanor criminal offenses.  I was then named chief DUI prosecutor, and was later promoted to the Felony Division and soon became one of the office’s two felony narcotics prosecutors.  Over the course of my time as an Assistant State’s Attorney, I was assigned cases ranging from petty speeding to first degree murder, covering the full breadth of the criminal and traffic codes.  I was responsible for the prosecution of nearly 700 felony cases, over 4000 DUI citations, and countless other crimes and offenses.. Since that time, I have advised and represented clients in a wide variety of legal matters, while focusing primarily in the areas of DUI and criminal defense.  Throughout my legal career, I have prided myself on my ability to answer questions both thoroughly and promptly, negotiate effectively with opposing parties, and—in those instances where negotiations fail—obtain a favorable result through trial.  If you're in the market for a diligent, experienced attorney who knows the law, can analyze your case and explain your options, and has proven success both in and out of the courtroom, I'd be honored to speak with you.

There, I assisted in managing the investments of both private and public pension funds.. After working for four years, I decided to continue my education and enrolled at Southern Illinois University School of Law, where I graduated cum laude in 1992. I developed my writing skills during law school as a teaching assistant, member of the National Moot Court team, and member of editorial board of the law journal. During the summers, I interned with the law offices of Metnick, Barewin and Wise in Springfield and was hired as an associate by that firm after receiving my law degree. In 1997, I was invited to be co-founder of Gates, Wise & Schlosser, P.C., where I continue to be a committed, creative, and aggressive advocate for my clients.  With the addition of a fourth partner, the practice was renamed Gates Wise Schlosser & Goebel..

[client_recommendation_perc] => [client_reco_count] => [client_review] => [lawyer_reviews_link] => [disabled] => 0 [bio] => As the child of school teachers, I grew up in a home where being an educator was considered a noble profession. The ability to make the complicated seem logical, while guiding others to deeper understanding seemed instinctive. It wasn’t until I went away to law school that I realized most attorneys didn’t approach life, or their clients, in the same way. My vision in establishing Edwards Group LLC in Springfield, Illinois, was to create a different kind of law practice — one that focuses on lifetime planning for real life issues.. Throughout my career, I have actively balanced my professional pursuits with civic involvement, including service on the Rutledge Youth Foundation’s Board of Directors, the Youth Philanthropists Steering Committee for the Sangamon County Community Foundation, the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County, the Advisory Council of Brother James Court, the Board of Directors for the Illinois Baptist State Association, and leadership in my local church.. I reside in Springfield with my wonderful wife, Michelle, who is a nurse with a home health agency, and I have two children: daughter, Bailey, and son, Cole. In my free time I love spending time with my family and pursuing musical interests. I can play the piano, guitar and euphonium. I'm currently learning to play the violin along with my daughter.
