About the Firm

Puchalski Goodloe LLC

Founded over two decades ago by Richard Puchalski, our firm was built on a singular mission: to be the definitive legal authority for Illinois police and firefighter pension funds. Under Richard's leadership, the firm earned a reputation for unmatched expertise and an unwavering commitment to the public servants who protect our communities.

Today, as Puchalski Goodloe LLC, we carry that legacy forward. With over 90 pension funds relying on our counsel, we remain the state's leading authority in public safety pension law—providing the same dedication, integrity, and depth of knowledge that has defined our practice from the very beginning.
