At Bonifield & Rosenstengel, our attorneys bring with them a unique mix of professional and practical experiences. Both of our attorneys were private investigators for law firms before becoming lawyers. While private investigators, they developed skills that help them investigate claims made by clients. This experience affords them a unique insight into what is needed to develop a personal injury claim. Jerry Bonifield is one of the founding members of the National Association of Legal Investigators. He is currently a member of the National Association of Railroad Safety Consultants and Investigators.

Our attorneys also have practical experience working in the railroad, farming, and construction trades. We have operated machines similar to those that have injured many of our clients. With our experience in specific industries, we know what can go wrong. This provides us with insight into investigating and pursuing a claim against a negligent party.

With the growing costs associated with personal injury claims, mediation is an increasingly important area of our practice. Mediation is an alternative to litigation in which the parties sit down to settle disputes out-of-court. A mediator serves as the facilitator between two disputing parties. Sometimes we represent our clients in mediation. Our lawyers are both certified mediators for the Illinois 20th Judicial Circuit, which means that other lawyers ask us to serve as mediators to help settle their cases.
