Steven R. Tschiggfrie, Of Counsel
Steven R. Tschiggfrie (pronounced “Chig-fry”) serves as of counsel to Rockford Injury Lawyers. He has focused on litigation in Illinois since 2012, and he works alongside attorney Paul Marriett on personal injury cases. Between them, Paul and Steve have handled more than a thousand cases.
A Trial Lawyer Who Knows How Insurers Operate
Steve is a member of the Federal Trial Bar, which means he’s qualified to try cases in federal court as well as state court. He spent the early part of his career at large law firms, where he saw how easily injured clients could start to feel like case numbers. He left that setting to focus on representing injured people directly: clear answers, regular updates, and a lawyer who picks up the phone.
Steve’s cases include car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian crashes, along with nursing home negligence, workers’ compensation, and wrongful death claims. He knows the tactics insurance companies use to minimize claims, and he prepares cases to push back on them.
Why It Matters for Your Case
When your case needs more hands, whether that’s a complex crash, a commercial trucking claim, or a case headed to trial, Steve’s experience adds depth to the Rockford Injury Lawyers team. You still get the personal attention that small-firm representation should mean.
Steve also speaks Spanish, which helps us serve Spanish-speaking clients and families throughout the Rockford area.
Outside the Office
Steve is a husband and father of two who lives in Naperville with his family. He knows what’s at stake for a family when an injury turns daily life upside down, and that’s why he fights hard for every client.
Bar admissions: State of Illinois; Member, Federal Trial Bar.
