Terrance M. Nofsinger is a highly-regarded attorney who concentrates in wrongful death, personal injury, and medical malpractice cases. Over the past decade of fighting in courtrooms throughout Illinois and beyond, he has earned the reputation amongst both judges and his adversaries of a tenacious yet professional advocate. His tireless efforts on behalf of the victims of serious personal injury and wrongful death have resulted in over $40 million for his clients. Two of Mr. Nofsinger’s most recent successes include settlements of $2.5 million in a medical malpractice case and $1.72 million in an auto crash case. Growing up in a blue-collar household in central Illinois, he is especially passionate about protecting the rights of construction workers injured on the job and by defective products.

Mr. Nofsinger had the privilege of first developing his litigation skills as a judicial extern for the Honorable Michael M. Mihm of the U.S. District Court, Central District of Illinois.
