MGS enjoys an unmatched reputation in the rail industry. The firm began as a railroad litigation boutique and has achieved an unparalleled record of success in FELA and other rail-related jury verdicts throughout the Midwest.

We have tried and won substantially more railroad cases than any other law firm in the Chicago area. 

Beyond litigation, we provide comprehensive strategic guidance to clients navigating the complex and highly regulated rail sector. We serve Class I, shortline, switching and terminal railroads, as well as other rail-related contractors and service providers. MGS plays a key role in furthering legal thinking in the rail industry through speaking, writing and teaching, as well as leadership roles in NARTC, the AAR, the ASLRRA, ARDA and other key rail industry organizations.  

Our prominence in the industry grows out of our deep knowledge of railroad operations and federal law governing railroads, decades of immersing ourselves in the cutting-edge issues impacting the industry, and our commitment to relentless preparation and attention to detail.
