Law Office of Keith Short adds great trial attorney!

We are excited to announce that we have a new addition to our team. Meet Jack Daugherty.

Jack has successfully helped injury victims recover fair compensation. He has handled medical malpractice cases, car accidents and worked on multi-million dollar asbestos cases. Jack has extensive experience in high-dollar cases, but still believes there is no such thing as a small case. Jack is a true trial lawyer who loves the fight.  For Jack every case, big or small, is a serious case.

As a law student, he clerked for the late Judge Paul Riley (a Madison County Circuit Judge and Federal Judge) and for Judge Andreas Matoesian (a Madison County Circuit Judge). Jack began working for the Madison County State’s Attorney’s office under Bill Haine as a third-year law student. While in the State’s Attorney’s office, he took a wide variety of cases to jury trial, ranging from DUI to serious felonies. After four years as a prosecutor, Jack entered private practice. He has handled almost every type of case imaginable during his two decades of practice. He has successfully defended people charged with serious felonies and has considerable Civil Rights litigation experience. Jack also handles employment and labor law.

Jack lives in Edwardsville, his hometown. He has three beautiful children and is active in various civic and public welfare organizations. In his spare time, if he isn’t with his children, he can usually be found riding his bicycle or fishing.  Jack is a great asset to our team and the lawyer you need.   If you need help, give us a call at 618-254-0055.
