Strong Law Offices

Becky Mansfield

My name is Becky Mansfield, and I was born and raised in Peoria. I graduated from Richwoods High School and attended Illinois Central College. I have been with Strong Law since the day we opened our doors on July 15, 1999 — 27 years — and I have worked in the workers’ compensation and personal injury field since 1988, bringing nearly four decades of experience working with injured clients.
As the Senior Case Manager and Office Manager, I handle human resources for the firm, problem solve for our clients, and work with all of our attorneys in the settlement department. I also manage our technology and our case management systems, which keeps every case moving and every file where it needs to be.
I am the proud mother of two grown children and the even prouder grandmother of four granddaughters. Outside the office, I love to travel and see as much of the world as I can, I fashion myself a bit of a foodie, and there are few things better than curling up with a good book on a quiet evening.
I find great satisfaction in being able to help someone who has been injured and needs help getting through the legal system. At Strong Law, this is what we do. We are working lawyers for working people.
