I attend continuing legal education seminars on litigation and personal injury law; I also occasionally speak on these topics. I almost always exceed the required number of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) hours.

Wrote three chapters of "How to Start your Own Solo Practice," National Business Institute, 2007

Wrote "Litigating the Claim--The First Step" and "The Hearing" in National Business Institute's 2001 publication, "Workers' Compensation Hearings in Missouri"

I handled a case of a construction worker who was working on the side of a highway and was struck by a vehicle and who suffered severe orthopedic injuries along with a head injury. I handled the workers' compensation claim to conclusion.

I also handled the personal injury matter against the vehicle driver. I also made a claim against the Missouri Department of Transportation for their failure to supervise and plan the highway work and that case was arbitrated. I also negotiated with the workers' compensation carrier in their subrogation interest and with Medicare on their repayment rights.

Our firm is a full-service personal injury law firm. We handle all kinds of injury cases, including auto, truck and motorcycle accidents, premises liability cases, workers' compensation claims, Social Security Disability appeals, products liability cases, Accidental Death Insurance appeals, and ERISA Life and Disability appeals. An injured person's situation may involve several different cases, and we can handle them all. For instance, if the person is badly injured in a work-related car accident, we can handle the car accident, the workers' compensation claim, any disability insurance matters, and we can help the person apply for Social Security Disability as well.

I started my solo practice "Jill S. Bollwerk, LLC" in 2001. I joined forces with fellow SLU Law '91 classmate, Dan Ryan, in 2003 and the firm became known as "Bollwerk & Ryan, LLC" at that time. Then, in 2010, Phil Tatlow became a full partner, and the name was changed to "Bollwerk, Ryan & Tatlow, LLC."
