Meet Our Experienced Attorneys:
Building Relationships, One Client at a Time
If you’re facing criminal charges, or if you’ve been injured in an accident, you need an attorney with whom you can feel comfortable. At Schierer & Ritchie, LLC, we strive to be open and accessible to our clients, building personal relationships. It’s important to us that we understand your needs and desires, so we can offer you the best legal assistance possible.

Our law firm is headed by attorneys Charles Schierer and Tiffany Ritchie, each of whom has over 10 years of experience in the legal field. Serving Peoria IL and clients throughout Central Illinois, we focus primarily on criminal defense and personal injury. Additionally, we handle family law and business law cases.
Staying on Top of Ever-Changing Legislation & Case Law in Illinois
The legal field is a constantly changing landscape as new laws are passed and new precedents are set. Our attorneys work proactively to stay on top of Illinois’ legal changes by attending seminars, reading books, and practicing their trial skills. All of this works in your favor, as you can be assured that your attorney has the most up-to-date information at his or her disposal.
Hard-Working & Dedicated to Our Clients
Our attorneys work hard to defend the rights of our clients. Attorneys Schierer and Ritchie have extensive experience handling cases at the trial and appellate levels. In fact, both attorneys have successfully defended a client in a case before the Illinois Supreme Court — an accomplishment that can be claimed by only a relatively small number of attorneys.
Free Consultations: You Choose the Time & Place
We understand that you are in a difficult position. Thus, we work to ensure that the legal process is as convenient for you as possible. We offer free initial consultations to all of our clients, as well as evening and weekend appointments. If you do not wish to travel to our office, we can also arrange to meet with you in a more convenient location.
