Lawyers Dedicated to Helping People After a Wrongful Death
Our attorneys know that money will not compensate for the loss of a loved one. However, it can address issues of financial security. When a wage earner is killed, the entire family suffers the consequences. When the death was caused by the negligence or misconduct of another, the survivors may be able to obtain compensation for their losses.
Attorney Who Understand Your Grief
At the Urbana, Illinois, law firm of Frederick & Hagle, our lawyers have helped numerous clients recover compensation after the wrongful deaths of their loved ones.

We commit ourselves to listening with respect and treating everyone with dignity. We do not rush the process and we make sure that everyone is fully informed about the progress of the case.
How We Help
