Biography

Mary E. Schallert was born and raised in St. Clair County, Illinois where her father was a dedicated family physician, and her mother was a successful attorney. Her parents instilled in her a hard work ethic as well as the drive to advocate for others. Given her background, it is only fitting that she found a passion in the medical-legal field.

She received her undergraduate degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with degrees in criminal justice and psychology. Mary then went on to receive her J.D. from St. Louis University graduating in the top 20% of her class where she distinguished herself as a Dean’s Scholar, Teaching Fellow, and Academic Excellence Award recipient. During law school, Mary worked as a law clerk for the firm where she was mentored by some of the most diligent and tenacious attorneys in Southern Illinois.

After passing the Illinois bar, Mary joined Keefe, Keefe & Unsell as an associate attorney, where she focuses her practice on all matters of personal injury and wrongful death.
