WHAT WE DO
We are a client-centered Illinois law firm that puts a premium on attorney-client communication. Unlike many firms in the area, we make sure that clients work closely with their attorney and understand their legal options. We know that when you are going through a serious legal matter, one of the most frustrating things can be all the unknowns. We have world-class paralegals and office staff who work with clients to answer questions and keep you informed. Still, nothing compares to knowing you have a lawyer working with you one-on-one to get you the results you want.

Whether you are struggling after a work injury or trying to find medical care after a traumatic accident, our goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident that you will be properly represented. We are centrally located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, just off of I-64—and we serve all of southern Illinois and eastern Missouri. We intentionally keep our caseloads manageable and do not use unskilled new lawyers to practice on your case. Instead, all of our attorneys are highly experienced, with each attorney having over 25 years of experience in their specific areas of concentration. This gives us the flexibility to stay focused on the goal—helping you and your family recover compensation. So, make Jerome, Salmi & Kopis your first and only call. Contact us today.
PRACTICE AREAS
Have you been injured on the job? The workers’ compensation process can be quite complex. Our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys can assist you with filing your claim and can even take your case to trial if needed. We will work closely with you to help ensure you understand the process and protect your rights.
If you have been injured in an accident as the result of another’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation. Whether you’ve been injured in a car crash, slip and fall accident, boating accident, or in some other event caused by another’s negligence, we can help. We accept personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis, meaning we only collect our fee from the settlement or jury award. This motivates us to fight for your rights, and we will work to ensure the greatest possible compensation for you while helping you understand the process every step of the way.
Complex social security disability laws and regulations can be overwhelming—and many applicants are rejected even if they have a legitimate claim. Our experienced disability lawyers can help to simplify the process and work on your behalf to get your claim approved. Whether you’re planning to file an SSD claim or have already been denied, we can assist you. Contact us to request a free consultation with one of our experienced attorneys today.
ABOUT US
YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
Any attorney can promise you a great experience, but delivering is a different matter. As dedicated southern Illinois personal injury lawyers, we make client satisfaction a top priority at all times. Here are some key things that set us apart:
Fast Communications
We remain in constant contact with our clients via phone calls, e-mails, texts, letters and meetings. We understand that legal proceedings can be a stressful time in your life, and we know that we can reduce your stress by fully explaining your status and legal options.
Initial Consultations Always with an Attorney
Some law firms in the region use “runners” or other non-attorney, untrained contractors to drive around signing people up for cases. When meeting with someone about your case, ask if that person is actually an attorney. If not, you might want to call an actual lawyer to discuss your case.
Add-On Services
If you are receiving a sizeable award in a case, unlike many attorneys, our team can help you find a financial advisor and advise you on additional services that could help you make the most of your recovery.





AREAS WE SERVE
Headquartered in Fairview Heights, IL, we work with clients in Mt. Vernon, Carbondale-Marion, and other regions throughout southern Illinois. We also work with clients throughout eastern Missouri, including the St. Louis metro area, St. Charles, Clayton, Cape Girardeau, and other areas.
