Schlichter Bogard

Schlichter Bogard A nationally recognized trial firm that pursues justice for those harmed by wrongdoing. We are a leading, nationally recognized plaintiffs’ trial firm.

We seek justice for individuals harmed by corporate wrongdoing. Over more than three decades, we have been repeatedly recognized as pioneers by courts and in the national press for pursuing justice on behalf of people injured by a range of harms. The groundbreaking results we have obtained, including in scores of trial victories, have made America’s workplaces and products safer, and have helped p

rotect the financial assets of hundreds of thousands of Americans. In approximately the last decade alone, we have obtained relief on behalf of individuals that has been valued at more than $1.5 billion. And the cases we have brought have prompted industry-wide fee reductions that have been estimated to save investors more than $2 billion annually. Our work has been repeatedly profiled and recognized; among other things, it has been called “pioneer[ing],” “tireless,” and “historic.” And our trial firm has been labeled “elite” and among the leaders of the plaintiffs’ bar.
