I met James through my bankruptcy attorney
During the bank fraud forclosures in 2010. He assisted me to stay in my forclosed home for 5 years, to recover some of the financial loss I incured when the bank kept my escrow money through the forclosure process. I highly recommend Jim for any issues you may have. In addition I found him to be genuinely concerned with my well being. I also loved his sense of humor.
Thanks Jim
I appreciate you.

I would definitely recommend Jerrrey to anyone!!! He is very professional and always kept me in the loop on what was going on. The care he has for his clients absolutely shows through his work. He helped me with a complicated workman's comp injury case. I had hired an original attorney who completely dropped the ball and I was afraid too much time had passed to continue with it, but Jeffrey eagerly stepped up to the plate and got everything in order that needed to be done. And with a preexisting condition, it was an uphill fight to begin with. I felt very confident having Jeffrey represent me and cannot thank him enough for helping me put my life back together!! Thank you again!

We met with Mr. McDevitt regarding a personal injury case as a result of a traffic accident. It was apparent from the very beginning that Mr. McDevitt was the right attorney to handle our case. Dan provided us with a strategic course of action, a general timeline pertaining to our case and answered all our questions prior to taking the case. Dan provided us with regular updates and worked aggressively to bring our case to a very satisfactory conclusion, which is ultimately why we hired him. If you are searching for an attorney to handle your case, I highly recommend that you speak with Dan McDevitt prior to making this all important decision. His expertise, aggressive action and friendly service cannot be beat!

I learned of Vito after experiencing a very sudden car accident in which the driver of our vehicle had zero fault in. However because we didn't have adequate coverage, my injuries were about to have to come out of my pocket, that is until my mother-in-law advised me to allow an attorney to look over and review everything before I signed off on anything that pertained to this accident. I had just so happened to have just received a brochure in the mail from Hupy and Abraham, so I gave them a call. They were very sympathetic to my situation and even sent out a representative to my home for my initial consultation. After signing up with them, all of the bill collectors that were hounding me in regards to this accident just stopped calling. It took awhile for the proceedings to be completed, and I was only seeking the medical damages that were incurred from this accident. Well, after negotiations with Vito, I not only got my medical bills paid, but I had enough left over to pay some additional bills , as well as to take a trip to the Islands for a few days. I was so satisfied that I hired him for another accident where a driver rear ended me and totaled my car. Needless to say, that he did the same thing for this case. However, what did take me by total shock was that, during his negotiations, I assume that he didn't agree with the finalized amount. I say this because he called me and said that we had won "x" amount of dollars but after paying everyone that needed to be reimbursed, I would only be left with a very small amount. It was at this point that he told me that he would make sure that I got at least "x" dollars back, even if it meant that the difference would have to be taken out of his fee. I had never heard any attorney offer to forego their own fee. This meant that he would have just done all of that successful work that he had done for absolutely nothing. How many other attorneys have you heard say something like this to you? Of course, from now on, Vito will be my go to guy if I ever need help after any type of automotive accident. He truly earns his living and has shown me what a loving and genuinely concerned attorney acts ike!

John handled a slip and fall case for me. I fell at my apartment building and the landlord was not doing anything about it. I'm lucky I found John because he filed a lawsuit and did a really good job working the case. He had an expert visit the scene and do an inspection and take photos. The expert was really good and found code violations. We ended up settling the case for a lot of money and I'm very happy with John as my attorney.

Dan took my personal injury case and did an outstanding job. It was a complicated case with multiple defendants, but Dan stayed on top of every detail. We went to trial, and Dan's skill in the courtroom got the verdict we were looking for. He kept me informed of all developments as the case progressed and was always well-prepared. There are many options out there when it comes to representation, however Dan is a cut above.

On way back to home from work I & wife met with an car accident (with no fault).Car totalled and we injured severely, ended up in ER.
We don't what to do next. I found Zayed Law and met Mr. Jeremy Lee, a young, energetic and talented attorney. I felt huge relieved after discussing my case. Mr. Lee was very supportive and always in contact never leaves us in the dark about anything. When we had a question we could call/email him and would have instant answer.
We are happy with the final settlement.
We would like to thanks Mr. Lee and his amazing team for their hard work.
Certainly we would highly recommend to anyone need a Lawyer/Zayed Law Offices.

Adam and the entire team at Zayed Law Offices were fantastic throughout my entire case. You can tell that they truly care about you as a person and not just your case. When I first met with Adam about my case he made me feel comfortable and seemed like he honestly cared about my health and stress. He didn't see me as just $$ like most other offices did. He took the time to learn about me as a person and seemed like he was truly interested. He wasn't just concerned with my case.
Adam and his office answered any questions I had about my case in an extremely timely manner and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. They helped me deal with the over whelming amount of medical bills I had and helped me keep them all in order. Adams office was even nice enough to send me a plant while I was in the hospital recovering from my surgery. They wanted to make a stressful and overwhelming process as stress free as possible.
I would highly recommend Adam and everyone else at Zayed Law Offices to anyone I know. Ultimately Adam was able to settle my case out of court for the FULL policy limit.

I have been working with Steven Morton’s office for nearly two years. I work for a nonprofit organization called LIFT, which operates community resource centers for low-income individuals in Chicago and across the nation. We often have clients who come to us with legal needs, and they have no idea where to start to address them. However, thanks to Steven Morton, they are able to receive a consultation and additional legal support to help them address their legal problems. We’ve had extremely positive feedback from our clients with their experiences in working with Steven and are confident that when we make a referral the client will be treated with respect. We are extremely grateful for all of the assistance he provides!

I would highly recommend David to anyone. As I was going through an emotional roller coaster through my divorce, he answered all the questions I had, ensured I was comfortable and aware of the possible outcomes, and ensured everything was closed as soon as possible! He always communicates well, I never had to follow up. I also never felt he was simply lingering a case to rack up the hours, which I have experienced before. He is personable, yet will fight your battle. David also helped me with another matter concerning my daughter, and it was handled and closed quickly.

Dave Kozlowski helped me file a claim after I was in a car accident. He was able to explain to me the legal process involved in making such a claim - and he did so in clear, concise language easily understood by a typical person. He did not lead me to believe I would 'get rich' or that it would be a 'slam-dunk' of a case. I appreciated the honesty in my odds.
I would recommend this attorney to family and friends should the need arise. He is friendly, courteous, and extremely competent.

I retained, Attorney Joel Huotari of WilliamsMcCarthy law firm, for what turned out to be a challenging and lengthy civil case. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. Joel is an exceptional attorney, who handled my legal matters with the professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness that attains results. He provided sound guidance and devised a strategy that ultimately ended in a positive outcome. He truly cared about my feelings and was very supportive during this emotional time. A kinder. more dedicated attorney will be hard to find, if not impossible. Joel is an attorney you can always depend on.
I would highly recommend this firm, and more specifically, Attorney Joel M. Huotari, if you're looking for a superior litigation attorney who brings top-notch expertise to the table. My gratitude to him will last a lifetime!

My attorney Shawn Lintz has absolutely oUT did himself with my case if I must say. It was almost impossible to imagine not having to do some kind of jail time with these charges that were looming over my head, but not only did I not have any jail time but I never spent one minute in the court room. Just as Mr.Linz had told me. He exceeded all my expectations, and then some. He always kept me informed of everything that was going on with my case, and even when he had alot of my crap to deal with he still got me a great deal and out of great deal of trouble. I highly recommend Shawn lintz if you need an attorney for any reason at all he is very well rounded and I don't think there's any obstacle he couldn't overcome for you as well. I most defiantly will request his services if I ever need them in the future.

I would highly Recommend Shawn as a Lawyer. He has been a life savor to my step-son. It is almost nearly impossible to take a child away from his mother However, Shawn Lintz went above and beyond the expectations we had. He gave my step-son a chance to succeed in life. He was living in a home surrounded by drug addiction, violence, lack of parenting and absolutely no structure at all. My list can go on and on. Our first grader is now living with us full time! He is currently getting caught up in school, playing sports and enjoying a stress free life as a 6 year old should. We owe Shawn the world!

Luckily, I came across this firm and they have made me realize how easy and smooth this process can be when you know what you're doing! Ed Gil was my lawyer and if there's one person who has helped more in going through the process of a closing, it's him! He was very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a quick responder. Qualities that most lawyers at firms don't always have. Overall, I can tell their real estate department really works hard and well with their clients. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

I cannot recommend Tim highly enough. For seven long years, he worked tirelessly on my workman's compensation case, navigating through every obstacle with remarkable skill and dedication. From the very beginning, Tim demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, knowledge, and compassion.
Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed, answered all my questions, and provided me with the support I needed during some of the most challenging times of my life. What truly sets Tim apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients.
Thanks to his expertise and persistence, we finally reached a resolution that was in my favor. I am incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication he put into my case. If you are looking for a top-notch workman's compensation attorney who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Tim.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your exceptional service and for standing by me every step of the way!

I highly recommend calling Mr. Deffet if you find yourself involved in a negative situation with a creditor and/or debt collections agency. Mr. Deffet provides one on one support and makes you feel comfortable and informed with every step of your case. His knowledge, confidence and persistance led to our case being dismissed (with prejudice) against one of the largest junk debt buyers in the country. If a collections agency summons you to court, call him ASAP.

My experience was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and very positive. I had no idea what it would be like and all I had to go on to make my choice were the commercials I had seen on television. They seemed to really care about everyone. Jon Walner is just the best person and family oriented. I feel completely taken care of. TRUST is big these days. Our attorney who came to our home represented the firm well. He was highly intelligent but could talk on my level as well. The best firm in the Chicago!

After four and a half long years our daughters are where they belong with their mothers.
Todd did an excellent job answering our insane questions, quelling our fears, and letting us know when things didn't look good. Court date after court date he doggedly wrote motions, filed petitions, requested files. Even more fact gathering and pursuing leads, very thorough work.
My wife and I are very happy with Mr. Sivia's work. If services are needed again I will definitely call him first.

I found Todd to be a man of great personal and professional integrity. He was able to organize and coordinate a great number of tasks and responsibilities and establish appropriate priorities in handling them. He was efficient, conscientious and refused to accept less than high quality work from himself.
He was professional, took the appropriate time to address my needs and questions and was quick and efficient in resolving my needs. He is a pleasant, sincere and approachable person. I would and have referred him to both my colleagues, clients and family.

John took the time to assist me with a small case brought against me by a former employer. Although it was a small issue, it was serious to me and John handled me as a client with tremendous professionalism. He was very thorough with his research around the matter, responsive to my questions and concerns, and was able to successfully protect my interests. Throughout the process, I felt confident in John's abilities and trusted his guidance and would recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

I worked with John Ellis on an employment/compensation-related legal matter. John was able to get up to speed on a complex case with multiple contracts, employers and financial implications very quickly. He was very knowledgeable about the relevant legal topics and also gave exceptional strategic advice on how to approach the case. John was extremely responsive and always kept on top of key dates and milestones in the case (even after settlement). I plan to work with John on all my future legal needs and highly recommend him.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
