Attorney/Partner, Craig Van Schouwen concentrates his practice in plaintiffs’ Workers’ Compensation law. A former insurance defense attorney, Mr. Van Schouwen “changed sides” in 1995 when he joined the Valparaiso law firm. He has represented injured workers across the nation since that time. A passionate advocate for his clients, Mr. Van Schouwen takes pride in helping people get the medical treatment and benefits they need. He is a frequent lecturer and conducts seminars to educate workers about their rights and benefits. Understanding that the Workers’ Compensation system “isn’t perfect,” Mr. Van Schouwen participates in activities directed at strengthening that system. Committed to helping the families of injured workers, Mr. Van Schouwen serves on the board of directors of Kids’ Chance, a national organization of attorneys, insurance executives, union representatives and Workers’ Compensation Board members, that provides scholarship funding for children whose parent has been injured in a catastrophic workplace accident. A former runner and cyclist, Mr. Van Schouwen has participated in three Chicago Marathons and several hundred-mile bike rides.

My name is Mike McEntee and I have been practicing law in Fort Wayne for over thirty years. I was born and raised here and my three children all went to school here. I have built my practice and my reputation solely on client referrals. I believe that our clients like us, trust us, and therefore refer their friends and family to us, and have continued to do so during my entire career. In my many years of practice I have never found the need to purchase full page telephone book advertisements, nor have I ever seen the need to buy expensive television ad spots. Most importantly, you will always have access to me personally, by telephone or office visit during business hours, directly into my voice mail, and of course via e-mail and direct links from our website. After all, my practice is in Fort Wayne, so I can be available almost any time for you.
