Pretzel & Stouffer was founded to provide aggressive and innovative representation in civil defense litigation. Since 1946, Pretzel & Stouffer has remained focused on strong trial attorneys that handle all aspects of civil defense litigation. Pretzel & Stouffer consistently ranks among the firms with the highest number of cases tried to verdict in the State of Illinois.

While always remaining true to our roots, our trial practice has expanded to fit the needs of our clients and the changing environment of the law. The last fifty-five years have seen an explosion of civil litigation bringing with it new causes of action and theories of liability. Pretzel & Stouffer stays in tune with the changing practice of law not only by listening to the needs of our clients, but by spearheading initiatives in state and national professional associations as well as in a wide variety of industry associations.

Our litigation practice includes: medical and professional malpractice, products liability, construction liability, premises liability, vehicular accidents, and fire liability. As an outgrowth of our defense litigation practice, Pretzel & Stouffer has developed a successful subrogation team to better serve its insurance clients. Due to the breadth of our litigation practice, the attorneys of Pretzel & Stouffer are experienced in general and specialized tort litigation, including negligence, intentional torts and statutory causes of action.

Based upon our years of litigation experience, the legal team at Pretzel & Stouffer has the ability to accurately evaluate the value and strength of each case. Our attorneys are able to assimilate the facts of a case, client goals, and the law to develop a litigation plan of action that is aggressive, realistic, and cost-effective. Pretzel & Stouffer's reputation, based upon its proven record of trial advocacy, is to provide experienced and innovative trial attorneys that get the best possible results for our clients.
