St. Louis trial lawyers working for our communities in Missouri and Illinois

The legal system can be intimidating, no matter who you are. If you have lost a loved one in a car accident caused by another driver's carelessness or if you are hurt at work, you know you are entitled to compensation. If your daughter is looking at years of painful surgeries because her flame resistant clothing melted and adhered to her skin during a fire, or your wife was infected with hepatitis C because a coworker at the hospital failed to dispose of an infected needle, you know you have the right to a fair legal settlement.

 
But going up against bosses, insurance companies, and major corporations is not something you can do alone. To fight the big cases you need a qualified attorney who cares about your case.

 
The technical language used by courts and insurance companies is difficult to understand even if English is your first language. If English is your second language, it is even more important to ensure that you understand every document and letter that pertains to your case. The trial lawyers at Bollwerk & Ryan are sensitive to the needs of our growing immigrant communities. When you work with us, we make sure that every detail of your case and every option is clear to you.


Bollwerk & Ryan is a St. Louis law firm, centrally located within thirty minutes of four county seats and their courthouses, and serving clients across Missouri and Illinois.

If you were hurt or your loved one was killed in a Missouri or Illinois car, truck, or motorcycle wreck, whether the accident happened in downtown St. Louis or on I-170, on Highway 40 or I-255, Bollwerk & Ryan can help you with your claim. 

 
Jill Bollwerk worked-briefly-as a trial attorney for a major insurance company. As a former insider, she knows the strategies that insurance companies use to push you toward a settlement that is less than fair. And she knows how to push back.

 
With offices located only ½ block from the local Harley Davidson dealership, the trial lawyers at Bollwerk & Ryan know the motorcycling community and will be happy to handle your motorcycle accident case.

 
A defective product can be almost anything that causes you or your family harm because it doesn't work properly. Cases can include automobile defects, motorcycle helmet defects, defective medical devices, clothing and safety equipment defects, and more.

 
Medical malpractice is also a broad field. Malpractice or negligence by any person in the medical profession-doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, or caregivers for the elderly, to name a few-can cause serious harm and even death. Whether a major disease was not properly diagnosed or a surgery was incorrectly performed, families suffer.

 
We will make you feel at home.

 
At Bollwerk & Ryan we care about our community. Our tough but compassionate attorneys are proud to protect injury victims and give them the support they need. The attorneys at Bollwerk & Ryan also have strong ties to many local unions. Frank Carretero is a fluent Spanish speaker and welcomes clients from our growing Hispanic community. 

 
When you work with a Bollwerk & Ryan trial attorney, you will always be in contact with someone who understands your situation and knows your case.
