Illinois Compensation Attorneys
About Our Firm
Working people built this firm. Since its founding, Drummond Law has focused on representing individuals and families across Illinois who were injured on the job, living with serious medical conditions, or facing legal challenges that threatened their ability to work and provide for their families.
What began as a small-town practice has grown into a firm known for steady, hands-on advocacy in workers’ compensation and disability claims.
Peter C. Drummond founded Drummond Law after earning his bachelor’s degree from Knox College and his Juris Doctor from the University of Illinois College of Law. Raised in a blue-collar household where his father ran a local barbershop, he built the firm around hard work, direct communication, and personal responsibility to every client who walked through the door.
From the beginning, the firm concentrated on helping injured workers and individuals pursuing disability benefits. Over the decades, Drummond Law has assisted thousands of people navigating Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Illinois workers’ compensation claims — matters that often arise when an injury, illness, or unexpected medical condition disrupts daily life and income.
The firm expanded its ability to represent injured workers and individuals pursuing disability benefits across central and southern Illinois. As caseloads grew, so did the team’s experience navigating complex claims, administrative hearings, and disputes with insurance carriers and government agencies.
Today, the firm represents clients across central and southern Illinois in workers’ compensation, disability claims, and related legal matters.
The firm advocates for clients against insurance carriers, government agencies, and state authorities to pursue the benefits and outcomes available under the law.
Clients work directly with attorneys and licensed representatives who stay involved throughout the process rather than being passed off without oversight.
For more than four decades, Drummond Law has assisted clients throughout central and southern Illinois and surrounding communities. The firm’s reputation rests on steady case work, honest communication, and a commitment to helping working families protect their futures when health and employment collide.
If you or a family member needs guidance after a work injury, while pursuing disability benefits, or in a related legal matter, Drummond Law is available to review your situation and explain your options.
