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.
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.
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.
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.

“I can't recommend Eric enough. What stood out most was not just his deep understanding of the law, but his relationships within the legal system. He clearly knew the ins and outs of the courtroom, and it made a massive difference in my case. You can tell he's respected by the other attorneys and judges, which helped things move more smoothly and, frankly, more favorably for me. He was honest, strategic, and didn't sugarcoat anything.
