My firm's history dates back to 1951, when William C. Murphy and Robert Hupp joined Frank Reid, Jr., and Lambert Ochsenschlager to form Reid, Ochsenschlager, Murphy & Hupp. Over the years, the firm grew and evolved to become one of the most prominent Illinois law firms outside of Chicago. We continue to prosper sixty years later by respecting both the past and the future.

Our success is reflected in the difference we have made to countless people through a relentless pursuit of justice, record-setting multi-million dollar verdicts, and progressive changes in the law.
We are leaders in the community, bar associations and legal education. We have received the highest peer rating for skill and integrity, and many of our attorneys have been designated Leading Lawyers and Super Lawyers, signifying that they are among the top five percent of all Illinois lawyers in personal injury, general & commercial litigation and workers' compensation.

I review any document provided to me by a client.
I am very reluctant to coach clients who want to represent themselves.

I enjoy the entire litigation process. Personal injury and workers' compensation law allows me the opportunity to litigate frequently.
The best thing about my career is being able to serve the needs of my clients.
My partners and I regularly meet to discuss strategies on current and prospective cases. Our experienced support staff provides our clients with the best personalized service possible.
