Ronald Wagner, chairman and managing principal for the Kitch firm, is pleased to announce that the Kitch firm has opened an office in downtown Chicago. This is the firm’s first office in Illinois.

The firm moved into its new office on October 1, 2008. The office is located at 70 West Madison, Suite 2080, Chicago, Illinois 60602. The Chicago office phone number is 312-332-7901.

“We are excited to provide a fresh and effective alternative in Chicago,” said Mr. Wagner. “When existing clients asked that we open a Chicago office, we analyzed it carefully, and we are extremely confident that the Kitch firm is a good fit, especially in the areas of long term care, medical malpractice, and products liability, where we already have strong national reputations. In addition, we are known for being extremely knowledgeable and cost-effective, and think we can provide a great value in the Chicago area.”

The new office offers a convenient location and efficient space. It is adjacent to the downtown commercial district, with convenient access to City Hall, the county building, and state and federal courts.

In conjunction with this office opening, Paula Meyer Besler has joined the firm as principal in charge of the Chicago office.

Besler is an accomplished attorney with 20 years of litigation experience. In addition to her extensive experience, Ms. Besler was an adjunct professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Law for 10 years. She also served as an Administrative Judge with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago for two years. Besler is a lifelong resident of the Chicago area.
