About

I was born and raised in Springfield, Illinois. I attended Christ the King Grade School and Griffin High School (now Sacred Heart-Griffin). I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1985 with a degree in Finance and returned to Springfield to work as an investment officer for Marine Investment Management Company, a subsidiary of the original Marine Bank. There, I assisted in managing the investments of both private and public pension funds. After working for four years, I decided to continue my education and enrolled at Southern Illinois University School of Law, where I graduated cum laude in 1992. I developed my writing skills during law school as a teaching assistant, member of the National Moot Court team, and member of editorial board of the law journal. During the summers, I interned with the law offices of Metnick, Barewin and Wise in Springfield and was hired as an associate by that firm after receiving my law degree. In 1997, I was invited to be co-founder of Gates, Wise & Schlosser, P.C., where I continue to be a committed, creative, and aggressive advocate for my clients.  With the addition of a fourth partner, the practice was renamed Gates Wise Schlosser & Goebel. Although Gates Wise Schlosser & Goebel is a general practice law firm, I specialize in representing plaintiffs in personal injury claims and defendants charged with crimes in state or federal court. In each of these areas of practice, I take pride in representing individuals against entities with virtually unlimited resources. I am proud to fight insurance companies on behalf of individuals who have been severely injured by the carelessness or misconduct of another. I am equally proud to go to battle against state or federal prosecutors on behalf of citizens accused of criminal conduct. My wife, Tricia, and I have been married for sixteen years, and we are the proud parents of two boys.

We hired Fred on 2 different occasions. He surpassed our expectations, as he communicated with us, was responsive to questions, and obtained the best possible outcome in both cases.

Fred helped me deal with my speeding ticket and reached the best result for me. I should thank him for his great service. I believe anyone who in a trouble of traffic accident or related accident will need Fred Schlosser to help you. He is a trusted lawyer and your case will be taken care of in his hand.

My case was a first time DUI. With my circumstances I was facing losing my license for a period of time, having a baiid machine installed in my car, classes and extremely high fines. It felt like Fred went above and beyond with my case which resulted in minimal requirements to complete, and ended with the most desirable outcome of supervision. I would highly recommend him for any legal service.

Fred is an absolute winner. From the moment I spoke with Donna in his office to the last step where Fred informed he got my violation(s) vacated completely and removed from my record, I knew I was in the BEST hands possible. I hoped for middle road outcome and he delivered with the best case scenario results, Leaving me VERY happy and proud to be represented by Fred. He knows his stuff. He's aggressive and pushes the envelope for you. The process of working with him was very professional and his communication in timely and thorough. He is an absolute WINNER.

I had multiple DUIs from when I was younger Fred helped me file for relief in 2003 or 2004 he presented my case well but as the state of Illinois had changed the law to three strikes and you're out even though I was living in another state our case was not received well but he stuck with me over the years. Keeping me informed of new options we had. Fred went the extra mile for me and my family he always answered my question and returned my phone calls as soon as he could. I am grateful to say he was able to get me the relief for me to get my license and my life back on track. But I would still be writing this today if I did not get my license back because of the overall responsiveness of him and his firm I always felt like I was a priority unlike any other attorney I had ever had. Thank you Fred Schlosser.
