It is this experience Pat wishes to continue in representing injured parties and civil cases.
Craig D. Brown
Craig D. Brown, a former Cook County prosecutor, fought for victims of violent crimes. His experience proved insightful, as he recognized the importance of representing people in need of justice and the devastating effects crime has on victims. As a personal injury trial lawyer and partner at Meyers & Flowers LLC., he continues to use that perspective in his practice, representing clients who have been the victims of severe traumatic injuries, wrongful death, product liability and medical negligence.
With a seasoned team of some of Illinois’ best trial attorneys, we have prosecuted cases in courtrooms on both local and national levels. Our attorneys bring a wealth of experience in civil litigation from personal and workplace injury cases, commercial disputes, medical malpractice, nursing home and sexual abuse, train derailments, car and trucking accident suits to more complex proceedings including wrongful death, complex securities and financial litigation as well as a range of consumer-related product liability cases.
“After spending more than 30 years in the Bureau County’s State’s Attorney’s office, it was natural for me to want to continue to work for the people of Illinois Valley,” said Herrmann, Partner of Meyers, Flowers, Bruno, McPhedran & Herrmann. “They are my neighbors and friends and I am deeply committed to providing the people with the best legal counsel and representation possible. I believe aligning my experience with Ted Meyers, Peter Flowers and Klint Bruno will provide our community with the best line of defense and resources necessary to protect their interests.”
Our partners are dedicated to obtaining full and just compensation for their clients. Our long history of experience in the complex prosecution of well-funded corporate adversaries has resulted in several multi-million and billion dollar settlements. Renowned as top trial attorneys, we often are contacted by other lawyers to take the lead in national litigation as well as spearhead other complex cases and multi-plaintiff suits.
“Being able to return to this community and use the skills I’ve developed in representing people throughout the country is a privilege for me, because I grew up with these people and this is home for me,” said Bruno, Partner of Meyers, Flowers, Bruno, McPhedran & Herrmann. “The breadth of legal services we will be able to provide is extensive, but more important, the depth and quality of experience this team can offer in helping local families and businesses is unrivaled.”
