Frederick Schlosser

Firm: Gates Wise Schlosser & Goebel
1231 South 8th Street , Springfield , Illinois 62703
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I was born and raised in Springfield, Illinois. I attended Christ the King Grade School and Griffin High School (now Sacred Heart-Griffin). I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1985 with a degree in Finance and returned to Springfield to work as an investment officer for Marine Investment Management Company, a subsidiary of the original Marine Bank. 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.. Although Gates Wise Schlosser & Goebel is a general practice law firm, I specialize in representing plaintiffs in personal injury claims and defendants charged with crimes in state or federal court. In each of these areas of practice, I take pride in representing individuals against entities with virtually unlimited resources. I am proud to fight insurance companies on behalf of individuals who have been severely injured by the carelessness or misconduct of another. I am equally proud to go to battle against state or federal prosecutors on behalf of citizens accused of criminal conduct.. My wife, Tricia, and I have been married for sixteen years, and we are the proud parents of two boys.

This practice is focused on criminal defense and we represent clients from Woodstock, Crystal Lake, McHenry, Carpentersville, Marengo, Wonder Lake, Harvard, Huntley, Cary, Lake in the Hills, and Algonquin..
