I was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois.   I attended the University of Illinois College of Business and upon graduation I headed down to Southern Illinois University School of Law in Carbondale.   During my time in Carbondale I was able to volunteer for two years at the Self Help Legal Center earning recognition both years for the amount of time I provided pro bono services.   I also volunteered my time with the Immigration Detention Project at the Tri County Detention Center in Ullin, Illinois. In my third year of law school I was asked to run the Self Help Legal Center, which I gladly did.. During the summer after my first year of law school I studied abroad in Ireland (Dingle, Galway, & Dublin) and in Wales. Classes ranged from International Criminal Law to International Intellectual Property.  This five week program was one of the deciding factors in choosing which law school to attend.. During the summer after my second year of law school I obtained a license to practice law under the supervision of the Peoria County State's Attorney, Jerry Brady.  Through this license I handled the Traffic docket nearly every day which ranged from first appearances to bench trials.   I also used my license in the Misdemeanor court room where I had bench trials and handled my first jury trial which we received a favorable verdict.  I also did research for Felony cases when I wasn't in court.. With this license, I returned to the Peoria County State's Attorney's office on my winter break from school to assist in the Traffic and Misdemeanor courtrooms. I also utilized this license during my Spring semester my third year of law school when I worked with the Williamson County State's Attorney's Office in Marion, Illinois.  I worked in Traffic and Misdemeanor Courts there as well.. Upon graduation and passing the bar, I returned to central Illinios and I am honored to be working at firm that I clerked for throughout college and part of law school.  I am happy to be back in Peoria and I am working with many attorneys who teach me about all areas of the law.

I started my career representing injured workers and accident victims. I love performing extraordinary legal work for extraordinary working people and helping folks of all walks of life. When I started Strong law Offices in 1999, I wanted a firm that prides itself in being "working lawyers for working people". I have dedicated myself to creating a legal team that is dedicated, hard working, and driven to succeed in life, work and happiness. I have tried, argued and arbitrated claims and cases from the smallest of towns to the largest of cities. I have received recoveries for employees from all professions, trades, and jobs. I have dealt with injuries ranging from catastrophic, complex, and complete to minor, major and massive. I have worked and dealt with health care providers, experts, defense attorneys, large companies, insurance carriers and all other obstacles or road blocks placed by opposing parties or carriers to interfere, infringe or infuriate the rights of injured workers or accident victims. I have lobbied for new laws and defended good laws from the efforts of insurance carriers and large business interests to defeat the rights of the poor, the tired and the weak. My life and my law practice are dedicated to the service of helping injured workers and accident victims and will utilize any legal means necessary to protect and preserve those victims' rights to get help and get better from their injury

I prosecuted criminal cases and defended civil lawsuits against County government for twenty years and now I am bringing that experience to my private practice.  I handle a wide variety of legal matters affecting individuals, including employment law, criminal defense, DUIs, and personal injuries as well as most other types of litigation.

I help cannabis business, banks, start ups and even people achieve their legal goals.. I also develop websites and do SEO - so I find it amusing that I can make bullet points and bold stuff - but add zero links.

I have always considered myself an advocate for those in need of assistance.  The practice of law is a perfect outlet for my thirst to assist individuals in many aspects of their lives.  Personal injuries suffered by innocent people and caused by careless tortfeasors can often leave people feeling ignored, confused and helpless.  While advocating for the injured, I am determined to create an even playing field with insurance company often too mindful of their bottom line than the injured.  At Hall, Rustom & Fritz, we work hard to make sure our clients receive legal protection, responsiveness and the timely resolution to their cases.
