Biography

Fisher & Kerkhover is composed of well-rounded attorneys who do trial work as well as transactional work. We also handle civil litigation and appeals in a wide variety of areas. In addition, our firm is technologically oriented, utilizing the Internet to complement our services. We correspond by email with other lawyers and access various CD-ROMs and software programs to provide our clients with the best possible representation.

Our firm was founded in 1948 by Paul Nehrt. He began his practice in the Herschbach Building at the corner of Swanwick and West Holmes in Chester, Illinois. Mr. Nehrt’s reputation for skilled legal work and affordable representation of clients grew, as did the size of the firm. The firm currently consists of two partners, one associate, one receptionist, two full-time secretaries.

Fisher and Kerkhover Law Offices has achieved the highest rating awarded to law firms by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. Part of the reason for this is that, besides being technologically knowledgeable, our attorneys regularly attend continuing legal education seminars to keep abreast of the ever changing legal world. In addition, brainstorming sessions among the lawyers are often held in order to give our clients the most effective legal representation available.

As a full-service law firm, we advise and represent clients in the areas of estate planning and probate, workers’ compensation, personal injury, real estate, banking, municipal law, corporate law, commercial, school law, family law and many others.

Because we are a small firm, we know our clients, work well with them and are accountable to them. We receive referrals from clients, their friends, co-workers, and other law firms. In addition, our clients tell us that they value us as attorneys, counselors, negotiators and litigators. Likewise, we value our clients, and are always aware that it is they who employ us. We practice law professionally, with the careful judgment and common sense that comes from experience, and with a vigor which comes from a commitment to helping our clients and the surrounding community in which we live.
