From conducting rigorous accident reconstruction to consulting top medical authorities, the team fights to recover maximum compensation for traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord harm, and wrongful death.

Landmark Civil Rights, Police Misconduct, and Jail Deaths

Meyer and Kiss is widely recognized as one of Illinois' foremost law firms for civil rights litigation. Partner Louis J. Meyer has secured exceptional results in federal courtrooms, including a three million dollar wrongful death settlement in a county jail fatality and a one-and-a-half million dollar jury verdict for a correctional assault victim. The firm regularly takes on cases involving excessive police force, unlawful arrest, illegal searches, inmate abuse, and fatal jail neglect. Victims whose constitutional protections have been violated can consult an experienced civil rights attorney to pursue systemic accountability and comprehensive financial restitution under Section 1983 federal statutes.

Strategic Criminal Defense and DUI Representation

A criminal charge puts your personal reputation, freedom, and future livelihood at immediate risk. The defense team provides formidable representation against Illinois state and federal criminal charges. The firm handles everything from first-time misdemeanor charges and DUI offenses to serious drug crime defense, weapons offenses, and violent felony allegations.
