From Father to Daughter, a Tradition of Service

A Full Service Madison County Law Firm

While growing up, attorney Rene Bassett-Butler saw how her father eased the burden of people who came to his office with legal problems — whether through legal advice or the simple act of listening to what they had to say.

Today, Rene carries on that tradition of service, working side by side with her father, Merle Bassett, at our law firm, the Bassett Law Office, P.C. in Wood River, Illinois. Together, our attorneys bring our firm's mission to life by assisting people in solving their legal problems. Merle lends that mission over 50 years of legal experience, while Rene brings energy and enthusiasm to helping clients.

Effective and Capable Representation

Whether it is helping people get a fair value for their land in an eminent domain proceeding, or assisting a family in probate administration or estate planning, we strive to give our clients the efficient and skilled representation they need to solve their legal problems.

Our full range of legal services allows us to better accomplish that goal. In addition to assisting people with common practice areas of estate planning and traffic offenses, we are also two of the few attorneys handling eminent domain matters in Madison County, and are the only area firm to offer legal representation to municipalities. We know that a varied practice allows our clients to come back to us for all of their legal needs.
