Seth Hicks

Seth Hicks is a personal injury trial attorney who represents people injured through the actions of others. His interest in personal injury law began after experiencing an insurance dispute following a car accident when he was sixteen. That experience shaped his commitment to advocating for injured clients dealing with insurance companies. He approaches cases through detailed investigation, looking for overlooked evidence that may strengthen a claim and improve a client’s position during negotiations or litigation.

Seth earned a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an M.S.W. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign School of Social Work. He later received his J.D. from Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Law. His education in psychology, social work, and law provides a broad foundation for understanding clients, analyzing disputes, communicating effectively, and addressing the legal and practical issues that arise after serious injuries.

Seth handles personal injury litigation and works to identify evidence that may affect liability and the value of a claim. His experience includes representing a client injured in a high-speed motor vehicle crash that resulted in a $250,000 settlement. He communicates directly with clients and provides his phone number so they can raise questions and discuss concerns throughout their cases. His approach combines investigation, litigation strategy, and ongoing communication while pursuing compensation for injured clients.

Seth Hicks is licensed to practice in Missouri and Illinois and works in the litigation department. He received the Order of Barristers in 2009, recognizing achievement in oral advocacy and brief writing. His practice reflects a strong interest in problem-solving and standing up for clients facing insurance companies and other opposing parties. He continues to focus on personal injury claims, using careful investigation and direct client communication to develop cases and guide injured people through the legal process.
