 Free Initial Consultation (Main Office) For nearly twenty-five years, our firm has devoted its practice to representing those victimized in catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death litigation. We do not represent large corporations, banks, or insurance companies. We represent individuals and their families. Every effort is made to secure a full and fair recovery. In 2000, our firm was successful before the Illinois Supreme Court in a wrongful death case involving a foster child who died while in foster care. In 2001, our firm obtained a 6.5 million dollar settlement on behalf of a child with cerebral palsy caused by medical malpractice. In 2004, our firm obtained an 8.9 million dollar verdict in a vaccine injury case on behalf of a child who suffered profound neurological injury and hearing loss after a DPT shot. In 2006, we obtained a 1.0 million dollar settlement on behalf of a construction worker who fell approximately thirty feet while working, sustaining bilateral leg fractures. In 2006, we also obtained a 1.5 million dollar settlement in a medical malpractice case for the wrongful death of a patient following a kidney biopsy. We believe in the sanctity of the individual and we treat our clients with kindness, caring and respect. Statement of PracticeCivil Trial and Appellate Practice.

Ratings Methodology
The following firm members have been rated by their peersDisclaimer: No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. The testimonial or endorsement does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter. Any result that the endorsed lawyer or law firm may achieve on behalf of one client in one matter does not necessarily indicate that similar results can be obtained for other clients. Past success cannot be an assurance of future success because each case must be decided on its own merits. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Martindale-Hubbell® does not undertake to develop a Client Review Rating or Peer Review Rating for all firms and/or lawyers. Therefore, the fact that a firm or lawyer has not been reviewed should not be construed as unfavorable. Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for and will not be liable for the content and accuracy of the individual Reviews and the aggregated Reviews.
