Over 160 Years of Legal Tradition and Advocacy in Rock Island
Few legal institutions in the Midwest match the heritage of Eagle and Eagle. Tracing its roots back to 1864, the firm has guided generations of Quad Cities families and businesses. Edward L. Eagle Sr. joined in 1927, and in 1941, with Edward L. Eagle Jr., the firm became Eagle and Eagle. Joined by naval aviator Robert 'Bob' Eagle in 1947, the firm today thrives under third-generation attorneys Elizabeth Eagle Teros and James B. Eagle at 224 18th Street in Rock Island.
Combining deep historical stability with modern legal capabilities, the firm delivers sophisticated legal representation rooted in honesty, hard work, and genuine concern for client welfare.
