About Valerie M
Valerie M Moehle has practiced law in Illinois since the mid-1980s. She built her foundation in finance before turning to law, then moved into steady practice across the state's courts. Her career blends courtroom work and client counseling.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1982. She then attended Northern Illinois University College of Law, receiving her J.D. in 1985. Those credentialing years set the stage for a multi-decade legal career in Illinois.
After law school she began handling matters in state courts and in private practice. Over time she took on a range of responsibilities typical of firm-based practice: advising clients, preparing pleadings, negotiating agreements and representing parties at trial. Her work has required frequent interaction with judges, opposing counsel and clients across different industries and legal contexts.
Moehle maintains current memberships in professional associations and is admitted to practice in Illinois. She has remained active in the local legal community and has sustained a practice that responds to client needs in both litigation and transactional settings. Colleagues describe her as pragmatic in case handling and attentive to procedural detail.
Her experience spans the procedural life of disputes, from pre-filing investigation through motion practice and trial. She also handles negotiated resolutions and prepares documentation to memorialize agreements. That breadth of work has kept her engaged in both courtroom strategy and the drafting work that supports settlements and business arrangements.
Today she practices at Moehle, Swearingen & Lobacz, Ltd. in Illinois. Her office work continues to combine courtroom appearances, client meetings and document drafting. Her current practice focuses on civil litigation and related transactional matters in Illinois state courts.
