Elizabeth M. Rusin

Wheaton, Illinois

Beth Rusin joined WKKP in 2010 as an associate attorney and focuses on the areas of personal injury and medical malpractice litigation.  She graduated with honors from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 2010.  While in law school, Beth was an Associate Justice of the Moot Court Society, a member of the school's external trial team and the recipient of the Jane B. Brewer award which is presented annually to a member of the graduating class who has made a notable impact on the improvement of the quality of life for students at the College of Law.

In addition to practicing law, Beth is also a practicing registered nurse.  It is her passion for patient advocacy that led to her decision to attend law school and pursue a career in medical malpractice law where she could work closely with patients and families who suffered unfortunate injuries.  She currently works in the cardiac-neuro intensive care unit at Edward Hospital in Naperville, IL.

Before joining the firm, Beth clerked at another Plaintiff's personal injury law firm in DuPage County, worked as a registered nurse and taught undergraduate nursing students at Northern Illinois University.

In her spare time, Beth enjoys playing soccer, watching sports and spending time with her friends, family and dog, Dexter.
