Alsip, Illinois

Settled in 1830s by German and Dutch farmers, the Village of Alsip now has a population of over 19,000 residents. The Village was named after an owner of a brickyard that opened in 1885, Frank Alsip. After the Tri-State Tollway was built in 1959, the Village of Alsip began to grow in population.

Alsip is bordered to the west by Worth, Illinois, Crestwood to the south, Oak Lawn to the north and Merrionette Park, Blue Island and Robbins to the east. The Chicago neighborhood of Mt. Greenwood lies to the north and east of the Alsip City line. As most of the town lies north of the Cal-Sag channel, the Village operates a boat launch on a canal which allows limited access to Lake Michigan.

Alsip is home to two predominantly African-American cemeteries Burr Oak and Restvale cemeteries. They are the resting places of many of Chicago's blues musicians including, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Dinah Washington. Emmett Till, whose murder in Mississippi at age 14 in 1955 was an important moment in American Civil Rights, is buried at Burr Oaks Cemetery.

Most of Alsip lies in the First Congressional District in Illinois. Alsip's government consists of a mayor, a clerk and 6 trustees. All of the positions that run the Alsip Village Hall are 4 year terms.

Alsip is well-served by elementary schools, a community high school and a community college, Moraine Community College. Also in the area are many well-known private schools. Alsip is home to the international headquarters of Griffith Laboratories and one of the two Chicago area Coca-Cola bottling plants.

“We were devastated when our 31 year-old son was killed by a negligent driver. Kreisman Law Offices did everything to help us through this very difficult time, including coming out to the house several times which was a comfort. My wife and I were extremely pleased with Mr. Kreisman’s compassion and care for this very tragic and troubling time.” C.B.

“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.
★★★★★
“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.
★★★★★
“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
