Meet your attorney

Eric Vernsten

I bring over a decade of legal expertise and a unique blend of experience to every case I handle. After earning my JD/MBA from Southern Illinois University School of Law and College of Business in 2013, I began my career advising high-net-worth individuals in wealth management for seven years before fully diving into the legal profession.

Prosecutor with Proven Courtroom Success

From 2020 to 2024, I served as a prosecutor in Winnebago County, successfully handling numerous jury and bench trials across various areas, including DUI, domestic violence, juvenile cases, and felonies. My dedication to justice and proven litigation skills earned me a strong reputation in the courtroom.

Dedicated Military Lawyer

Since 2019, I’ve also been a soldier and attorney with the Illinois Army National Guard, where I’ve litigated administrative cases and provided legal counsel to military personnel and leaders. My military and legal experiences have shaped my discipline and resilience, equipping me to handle even the most challenging cases.

Committed to Clients and Community

When I’m not advocating for my clients, I enjoy training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and raising my son. I’m committed to giving 110% to every case, working passionately and diligently to help my clients achieve their legal goals.
