Hometown Representation for Life-Changing Cases
We’ve Handled Thousands of Cases Across Central Illinois
We’re not just familiar with the law, we know the courts, judges, and processes that shape how cases move through the Peoria County system and surrounding areas. Our team has handled everything from DUI and drug cases to serious crashes and wrongful death claims.
When we take a case, we focus on the full picture. We understand how one moment, a sudden arrest or a highway collision, can shift your life. That’s why we work directly with you to craft a strategy that fits your needs, always with the goal of helping you move forward.
Car Accidents, Motorcycle Crashes, Pedestrian Injuries & More
Motor vehicle accidents are at the heart of our personal injury practice. We represent people who are hurt in car, motorcycle, and truck accidents, including cases involving pedestrians, cyclists, rideshare vehicles, and buses. Many of our clients are dealing with serious injuries, time off work, and a long road to recovery. We’re here to handle the legal side so you can focus on healing.
We’ve also worked with families facing catastrophic injury or wrongful death. These aren’t just legal matters, they’re deeply personal. We approach every case with trial readiness, direct communication, and a long-standing record that includes millions recovered for clients and their loved ones.
“The results of having them on my case were better than I could have ever imagined and the level of care and compassion I received was next to none. On top of all of that, their skills and knowledge prevented me from receiving an undeserved felony charge.”
If you've been charged with a crime, early decisions can shape what happens next. At Schierer & Ritchie, LLC, we draw on years of prosecution and defense experience to help people across the Greater Peoria Area. We've defended clients facing DUI, assault, drug charges, sexual misconduct allegations, and other felonies and misdemeanors.
Our courtroom approach is strategic, whether we're negotiating behind the scenes or preparing for trial. Because we know how the system works from both sides, we’re prepared to advocate for your best outcome, with clarity, confidence, and real-world insight.
