Abigail Schmitz Law LLC

I offer free 15 minute initial consultations. Please see my profile below to see if I am a good fit. Feel free to also check out my website listed on my profile to inquire further. I opened this private practice to better serve my clients and protect them from the easy legal pitfalls that can affect anyone in this heavily litigated society. While working as an attorney at several prominent law firms and in house at a private equity fund, I grew my practice in corporate transactions, commercial litigation, and employment matters. While I continue to handle these matters, the scope of my practice has widened considerably. In addition to commercial and employment matters, I now handle real estate disputes, criminal defense, entertainment law, and family law. By way of background, I grew up in Charleston, Illinois. My dad was a Division I baseball coach for 22 years at Eastern Illinois University, and my mom was a director and professor in the business college. I graduated from Charleston High School and then attended Indiana State University where I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Finance and Bachelor’s of Arts in Language Studies with a Spanish and French focus. After graduating from ISU, I then attended the University of Illinois College of Law, earning my law degree in 2014. In addition to my professional activities, I am an active member of the following legal organizations: American Bar Association Illinois State Bar Association Women’s Bar Association Chicago Bar Association Illinois Trial Lawyers Association I am also an adjunct professor in the MBA program at Benedictine University.
