34 years ago, when John Womick graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law he came home to Southern Illinois to open his own law practice and he couldn’t even afford to hire a secretary.  Today, his law practice includes two locations in Jackson and Williamson Counties, seven attorneys, and a legal support staff with nearly 20 people.  Since the day he opened his first office, he has been dedicated to helping working men and women.  He is the only member of the Leading Lawyers Network in Southern Illinois recognized in all three areas of Workers’ Compensation Law, Personal injury, and Medical malpractice.  The Leading Lawyers Network is a very select group of lawyers and only the lawyers who were most often recommended by their peers in a statewide survey may call themselves Leading Lawyers!

The Womick Law Firm has nearly 70 years of combined legal experience.  In addition, three attorneys are licensed to practice in both Illinois and Missouri and one attorney is licensed to practice in Illinois and Indiana.  The 20 people who make up the support staff include paralegals, legal assistants, investigators, and secretaries.

The Womick Law Firm is a family business.  For over 20 years John’s brothers have been working along side him as part of our very experienced legal support staff. In addition, three of the attorneys on staff at the Womick Law Firm are family members.  His daughter, Jill Womick-Bloodworth joined the law firm’s team of attorneys in 2002 and plans to carry on the tradition of advocating for working people.  His son-in-law Ralph R. Bloodworth, III joined the law firm in 2001 and his son-in-law Casey VanWinkle joined the personal injury law firm in 2003.
