Legal help in Mercer County

Mercer County is a rural county south of Rock Island County, anchored by the county seat of Aledo along with Viola and the river town of Keithsburg. Residents here often work for small employers, farms or public agencies, or commute into the Quad Cities.

Small-town cases deserve the same preparation as big-city ones. We represent Mercer County residents in personal injury, employment and family matters, and we advise local businesses and non-profits on disputes before they grow. Cases in the county are typically heard in Aledo. Because many Mercer County families also have ties across the river in Iowa, it helps to work with an attorney licensed in both states who can explain how each state's rules apply. We return calls promptly and keep you informed.
