Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
DUI/DWI
Everyone knows that drunk driving is dangerous. Education about the dangers of drunk driving often begins well before a child is even old enough to obtain a learner's permit. Unfortunately, some people believe that they will be the exception - the drunk driver who makes it safely to their destination. When they are wrong, the consequences to others can be devastating. Drunk drivers are highly unpredictable. Other drivers may not realize that a driver they are sharing the road with is intoxicated until it is too late to get away from them and prevent an accident. On top of being held criminally liable for a DUI with injury, the drunk driver can also be held civilly liable for the financial costs and other damages they have caused to others.
Wrongful Death
Few experiences in life can compare to the pain of losing a close family member due to another party's negligence. Fatal accidents can happen without warning. You were likely taken by surprise when you heard the news that one of your close family members had been fatally injured in an accident. You may be struggling with the fact that your loved one would still be here if the party responsible for the accident had been more careful. In these cases, you may be able to recover compensation by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Whether the responsible party was a drunk driver or a negligent medical professional, they can likely be held accountable for the loss of life resulting from their carelessness.
Traffic Violations
Fraud
After receiving his Juris Doctorate from the University of Illinois College of Law in 1983, Mr. West took employment as a First Assistant State's Attorney. Mr. West prosecuted a criminal fraud and perjury case which received national media attention including the CBS weekly news commentary, 60 Minutes. In 1986, Mr. West was appointed Senior Trial Counsel with the Illinois Attorney General's Office, prosecuting and defending high-profile cases. Since 1989, Mr. West has focused exclusively on the prosecution and defense of civil injury litigation, with 67 verdicts to date.
Murder
Hit and Run
Uninsured and underinsured driver accidents - Most hit-and-run collisions fall into this category. Recovering compensation after an accident caused by a driver without adequate insurance can be complex, and often involves filing a claim with your own insurance company.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
After successfully representing defendants, Joseph decided he wanted to represent actual people and not corporations. Mr. Stockman now represents injured people at Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC. The majority of Mr. Stockman's practice is representing people injured in motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, contract disputes, wrongful death accidents, and construction cases.
Intellectual Property
Mr. Hemsworth received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, where he was a member of the Dean's List. He then went on to earn his Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, where he served on the editorial board of the Review of Intellectual Property Law and wrote a published comment in the same journal.

Employment Law

Workers Compensation
Factory workers are an essential part of American industry. They are also at an increased risk of suffering workplace injuries. Factories can be dangerous places, even when workers are following all appropriate safety protocols. Workers are in even more danger when an employer fails to develop and enforce necessary safety procedures. When a factory worker is injured, it is unlikely that they will be able to keep working while they are recovering. Some workers may even become permanently and totally disabled due to a catastrophic injury. In most cases, injured factory workers are able to receive benefits through workers' compensation.
Wrongful Termination
Wrongful discharge - A patient who still requires hospitalization or further treatment may be harmed if they are sent home too soon. For example, an ER may fail to notice a patient's genuine emergency and discharge the person in error.

Property Law

Premises Liability
Most accidents giving rise to premises liability accidents occur in businesses like retail stores or restaurants. However, they may also occur in private homes. When you are allowed onto another party's premises, you should reasonably be able to expect that the premises are safe for you.
Property Damage
Property damage - Many pedestrians are carrying important items such as their cell phones when their accident happens, and the costs of repairing or replacing these items may be addressed.

Health Law

Personal Injury
Nickolas has been working at Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC since 2013. He began his practice in the RCK office located in Plainfield, Illinois. Under the guidance of Partner, Katherine Maloney and Associate, Laura Miroballi, he learned how to undertake complicated issues in family law and manage client expectations. He was later introduced to the practice areas of workersâ€™ compensation and personal injury in which he has continued to grow his practice and trial skills. He has tried cases before multiple Arbitrators in the Illinois Workersâ€™ Compensation Commission as well as argued appeals before both the Commissioners at the Illinois Workersâ€™ Compensation Commission and Illinois Appellate Court. Mr. Jerde and Mr. Magana continually strive to achieve the best results for their clients.
Medical Malpractice
When healthcare providers fail to act in accordance with this standard, people may suffer serious personal injuries. Most licensed medical professionals including physicians, nurse practitioners, surgeons, and dentists can be held accountable for medical malpractice. If you suspect that you have been harmed by your healthcare provider's negligence, it is important to act quickly and speak to an attorney as soon as possible so that a complete investigation can be made.
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
Slip and Fall Injury
Slip and fall injuries can be very serious. Often, these accidents could have been prevented if the party maintaining the premises had been more careful about safety. Severe back and brain injuries are sadly not uncommon after a slip and fall. Our attorneys are skilled in assisting those who have sustained a catastrophic injury in recovering the long-term compensation they will require.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
After graduating from law school, Katherine returned to her hometown and began her law career at a small firm in downtown Plainfield. She practiced in many areas of the law including: family law, criminal law, workersâ€™ compensation, estate planning, real estate, small business, probate and juvenile matters. In addition Katherine began receiving court appointments as a Guardian ad Litem (court advocate) for children and disabled adults.
