RCK Law Firm

What RCK Law Firm does

RCK Law Firm, legally Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC, is a privately held Illinois personal injury and workers' compensation law firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Joliet, Illinois, with a second office in Naperville. The firm represents individuals across Will County, DuPage County, Cook County, and the surrounding Chicago southwest suburbs who have been injured by third-party negligence or in workplace incidents. It is staffed by nine named attorneys (including Frank S. Cservenyak Jr., Willard L. Hemsworth III, Luis Magaña, Jonathan Ibarra, Nickolas Jerde, Joseph Stockman, Stephen White, J. Michael West, and Roger Rickmon).

The firm delivers two core service areas. The first is Personal Injury, which encompasses motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, bicycle), premises liability (including slip and fall), medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries (TBI, spine/back), and wrongful death claims. The second is Workers' Compensation, covering factory injuries, denied claims/arbitration/appeals, permanent and total disability, third-party claims, and wage benefits. Marketing channels include educational blog content on accident-type topics, a free-consultation phone intake (815-730-1977), and website-driven lead capture through an embedded LawBrokr contact funnel, with client testimonials reinforcing brand credibility.

RCK operates on a contingency-fee model for personal injury matters, meaning clients pay no upfront legal fees and the firm is compensated only via a percentage of successful settlements or judgments. Workers' compensation is delivered as professional services. The firm has reported multiple multi-million dollar recoveries (including $8.1M for a motorcycle/Pace Bus collision, $7.6M wrongful death trucking case, $6.725M for a catastrophically injured passenger, $2.4M for a construction worker, and $2M for a crushed truck driver), which serve as credibility assets rather than direct revenue disclosure. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, investors, or M&A activity.
