Committed to Justice and Personal Attention
At Dihle Law Firm, we believe that true legal representation goes beyond paperwork and court appearances. It's about understanding the individual behind each case, fighting tirelessly for their rights, and providing personalized support during challenging times.
Founded by Tyler Dihle, our firm stands as a testament to the power of personal commitment and unwavering dedication to justice. After nearly 15 years of working with other legal practices, Tyler recognized a critical gap in legal services: the need for deeply personalized, client-focused representation.
Meet Tyler
A Journey of Purpose
Tyler's path to founding his own law firm is rooted in a rich background of hard work, academic excellence, and a genuine passion for helping people. Raised on a farm in North Dakota, he learned early on the values of perseverance, integrity, and going the extra mile—principles that now define the core of Dihle Law Firm.
His journey to becoming a compassionate attorney was anything but conventional. While attending Monmouth College in Illinois, Tyler balanced multiple jobs, maintained academic honors, and excelled as an all-conference defensive tackle. This demonstrated his ability to overcome challenges—a skill that later became instrumental in his legal career.
From Defense to Advocacy
After graduating from Southern Illinois University School of Law in 2009, Tyler initially worked with a large civil defense law firm. However, he quickly realized that his true calling was not defending corporations, but advocating for individuals who had been wronged. Since 2012, he has been a staunch defender of injured people's rights, challenging insurance companies and large corporations that often prioritize profits over people's well-being.
Recent Victories
Our track record speaks to our commitment and capability, and some successes include:
- $500,000 settlement for a truck driver injured at a service facility
- $500,000 policy limit settlement for a postal worker struck by a delivery vehicle
- $250,000 settlement for an injured underground coal miner
Areas Served
Tyler has successfully tried cases in front of juries and argued appeals in the Fifth District Appellate Court. His work with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission further demonstrates his comprehensive understanding of personal injury and workers' rights law.
Dihle Law Firm proudly serves Southern Illinois, with a dedicated focus on providing comprehensive legal services throughout a significant portion of the region.
