About

My passion for litigation began while in law school where I was selected as the senior member on the National Invitational Trial Advocacy Team and earned the Warren D. Wolfson Award for Best Trial Advocate of the entire law school. After obtaining my law degree with honors in 2003, I served as a prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and rapidly ascended the ranks becoming one of the youngest prosecutors ever to earn the title of 'Special Prosecutor'. While there, I successfully tried over 50 complex bench and jury trials to verdict on behalf of the People of the State of Illinois. In 2007, I joined the law firm of Paul B. Episcope, LLC where I utilized those trial skills in pursuit of justice for injured individuals and their families in the civil arena. In 2011, my partners and I founded the Chicago-based personal injury law firm of Tarpey, Jones & Schroeder, LLC. To date, I  successfully have tried several criminal and civil jury trials to verdict, have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of my clients, have argued in both the First and Second District Appellate Courts of Illinois and have been selected as a Super Lawyer "Rising Star" in Illinois for my accomplishments. My extensive trial experience has provided me with the necessary tools to represent my clients with excellent results.

I had a complex case that had been handled by multiple attorneys at different firms prior to bringing it to Tarpey, Jones & Schroeder. Mr. Schroeder got a hold of my case and did a great job bringing closure to my case with a terrific outcome. He was very responsive and answered all my questions as soon as possible. I would recommend him to anyone!

The period subsequent to losing my mother was a very difficult and an emotionally laborious time. She was wrongfully killed in a tragic vehicular accident that also immensely injured my father, not only physically but emotionally. We needed legal help that would allow us to remain focused on the convalescence of my father, my family and our lives, without the vexatious and emotionally taxing process of adjudication. That is exactly what we received. It was a smooth and flawless process. We received results that were more than what we expected and couldn't ask for more. We regularly received updates and truly felt that we were more than just clients. It goes without question, my family and I would indubitably refer anyone that needs legal assistance to Richard Schroeder.

I had a really tough case that took 5 years but with his commitment and dedication it finally came to an end. It didn't come out to what we both had wanted or expected but it took a lot of work to come to an end for the case. He always kept me up to date and gave me as much information he could. It never took him more than a day to answer any of my questions. He is a wonderful attorney. I give him both of my thumbs up because he did an awesome job for my case :0) !!
