My goals in representing my clients are
simple. First, I will provide the counsel and advice
to my clients that they require to make informed decisions
regarding the outcome of their claims. Second, I will
provide vigorous and successful representation to my
clients in all matters that require litigation before
the Circuit Courts and Industrial Commission of the
State of Illinois. Third, I will not represent a client
if I do not believe that I can obtain a successful result
for them.
My representation of clients is done on a contingency basis. That means that there is no fee until there is a recovery. In personal injury claims my fee is one third (33 1/3%) plus any costs which are incurred. In workers compensation claims my fee is twenty percent (20%) of whatever is disputed plus costs. I do not require my clients to pay the costs of litigating cases until the case is resolved. However, clients are responsible for all costs no matter what the outcome of their case.
I practice mainly before the Circuit Courts and Illinois Industrial Commission in Will, Cook, Kane, and DuPage Counties. However, I work with other attorneys who also specialize in personal injury and workers compensation claims in other Counties in the State of Illinois and other States throughout the United States. If I believe that it is in the best interest of my client to use the services of another attorney due to geographic or specialization reasons, I will not hesitate to provide my client with that information.
Since my office is located in Bolingbrook, Illinois and most of my clients are from the southwestern suburbs, I try to be as accessible as possible to my clients. My support staff is normally in the office from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. I am available to meet clients on week nights and weekends whenever necessary. I will also travel to clients homes when it is not possible for them to come to my office.
