After being involved in a car accident. I look up a law firm in the area and found McCready Law. I am so grateful for their passion, dedication, and professionalism. Gina and the rest of the staff keep me informed every step of my case and answer all my questions. I'm completely satisfied with my experience thus far. I was amazed how they manage to still work with me even though I had to move to a different state. They even found a new facility for me to continue my therapy. McCready Law is truly the best I've ever worked with. Thank you so much!

I would recommend McCready Law to my friends and family! I was injured in a car accident and was fortunate through a referral to have them help me through the process. I periodically get updates on where the case stands and that keeps me at ease knowing they are diligently working on my behalf. You won’t regret choosing this legal team. Thank you McCready Law!

If i called and didn’t get someone to talk to, i would leave a message and they would get right back with me They kept me posted on where they was at with my case and what was going on, when they called they was very informative, caring, patient, concerned and respectful. when u got off the phone you didn’t have to wonder what was going on? you knew everything.I appreciate McCready law, thank you! Not only would i use your office again, I would recommend your office to my family and friends

McCready Law is an amazing, Exceptional law firm. All the staff is very responsive especially Tatiana who Ive dealt with on several occasions. From start to finish my lawyer kept me up to date, and I was very happy with the results. McCready Law for personal injury best out there!

We were referred to Richard Johnson of Katz Friedman Law Firm by a trusted family friend when my husband was injured at work several years ago. This was the best advice we ever followed. My husband’s work comp case and the subsequent disability case was very drawn out and complicated. Trying to navigate the confusing process for disability was very stressful and intimidating. Richard was with us each step of the way, always treating us with respect and dignity. He took the time to explain things we could not understand, answering any questions honestly, clearly and without hesitation. He was never more than a reassuring phone call away and would often answer emails during the evenings or weekends. From the first call, down to the very last, and every conversation in between was like talking to caring, yet very professional and knowledgeable family member. We have complete trust in Richard. Any Google search will show that he is a very well-known, highly educated, ethical and respected lawyer as well as an expert in his field. But on a personal level, Richard is more than that. His character is beyond reproach. He is honorable, compassionate, sincere and willing to make a difference for those of us who find ourselves in such difficult circumstances beyond our control. We cannot express our gratitude to Richard and his wonderful staff for staying with our case for years. Because of his tenacity, thoroughness, skill and knowledge, my husband was finally approved for disability and we can start putting our lives back together. We could not have done it on our own and will be forever grateful to him for making this difficult experience bearable. We would emphatically recommend Richard Johnson without hesitation.

Attorney Keith Sparks did an amazing job with my case. He explained the process thoroughly, with details, and he kept me informed about my case every step of the way. I appreciate his knowledge and professionalism where have referred three people to speak with him about their case. Thank you so much Attorney Keith Sparks, you’ll always be my first choice.

I have used lawyer Frank Bertuca of the Law firm Katz, Friedman, Eisenstein, Johnson, Bareck, Bertuca 3 times over the last 15 years. Personally I don’t know a lot when it comes to legal matters. Mr. Bertuca and his team have been exceptional. Each time they have walked me through all of the steps needed when pursuing a lawsuit. Making sure that I am comfortable and understand the process. They are highly professional in all matters. They are fair and I have always been happy with the financial outcome. They take a personal interest in their clients. I feel Mr. Bertuca has become a friend looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend Frank Bertuca.

I’m a Flight Attendant who sustained an occupational injury while on a flight from San Francisco to London, which took me away from work for more than 8 months. I made inquiries about Law Firms to handle my case from coworkers. I was given the names of three Law Firms. I had decided to retain another firm until I received a return call from Richard Johnson at Katz Friedman Eisenstein Johnson Bareck Bertuca. My conversation with Richard offered me such reassurances. I felt as though I was talking with a friend who would have my back throughout the process. Richard kept me in the loop as to what was taking place and critical steps I needed to take as we moved forward He was caring, thoughtful and kind even when I’d become impatient. He was honest and forthright regarding realistic expectations regarding the outcome of my case. After four years, my case was settled and I am pleased with the representation I received, and I highly recommend Richard Johnson.

Attorney Keith Sparks was very professional and detailed and extremely intelligent, he always responded in a timely manner, very very helpful

I had a very good resolution with the help of Schwaner Law. I thought I had one law suit but actually had two and both law suits resulted with positive outcomes. The team was professional, listened to my concerns and were pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them and will use Schwaner Law in the future if needed.

I hired David Schwaner as my attorney after I was injured in a car accident. Him and his team were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate! David worked tirelessly on my case! He explained the legal process to me, unique to my case, every step of the way and always reached out to me with every update. David helped me win the entire insurance policy amount of $100k that was entitled to me and the process from start to finish was quick and stress-free, allowing for me to recover my physical and emotional injuries caused by the car accident -all while knowing my case was being handled by the best legal team that there is!

I can't be more then happy to choose Schwaner Injury Law for my case. Mr David have been very helpful throughout the day one. I did not have to do any work, he and his team took care of all the paperwork. Anytime I would call them or leave a message they would reply asap. I can't thank enough to my friend for referring me to Mr. David. It wouldn't have been easier process neither would have been possible without all the efforts Mr david and his team put in for my case. Definitely will give 10 stars for excellent service if there was an option. Again, thanks alot for all your support.

I chose Schwaner Injury Law because of the positive reviews I read online which were all true. What really impressed me was the speed that it took for my case to be settled considering the Covid 19 pandemic. Schwaner Injury Law met every expectation and more resulting in me being able to start my new Laser Engraving Business and Safari Cafe. Thanks David! You Are The Best!

David was very professional and always kept us up to date with everything that was happening with our case. We were very pleased with the outcome.

Every time I would call to get information for my uncles case, no one would call back. I’ve left Donna’s assistant Veronica numerous voicemails & never got a call back. Definitely recommend you looking for another attorney, unless you don’t want a call back, then I suggest you stay here and get ignored. They do call you when you they want to take your case after you sign up with them it’s like you don’t matter. Best thing my uncle did was get another attorney.

Mark and his team did a great job settling my case ,always returned phone calls & emails keeping me informed. I would recommend him to family and friends

Mark is a great attorney! Made me feel very confident through this whole legal process. I would recommend anyone who is new to work comp to look into Mark!

I’ve been a carpenter union carpenter for 30 years in those 30 years I’ve had many injuries , going back to 1995 when I first met Peter Corti and Mark DiPaolo they represented me top notch professionalism , most important they sent me to the best doctors in the Chicago land area , and when I got back on my feet they got me the best monetary awards possible , I cannot say enough good things about Peter and Mark over the lifetime of my career , Tom Cunningham Carpenter local 62 .

Donna and her team did more than enough to help me out. I am very pleased with her services. She filed my case and had me a check ready within one year! I highly recommend this firm!!!!

Jon Walker of Woodruff Johnson & Evans has been the best Attorney I could of ever asked for. Jon was very attentive and answered all of my questions quickly and always gave me great advice. He walked me through the disability process so that I understood what was happening every step of the way. Jon Walker won my case quickly. He is the best disability attorney you could ever have on your side. In my opinion Jon Walker is the top disability Attorney in Illinois.

After 2 1/2 years, this firm finally settled my personal injury suit. A partner was my initial attorney and he didn’t know how to “monetize my case” (his words). It seemed he wanted me to do the work for him. Once he was let go or quit the firm, I was placed with two new attorneys. They finally got my case settled for $50,000. Good news? Nope! They decided to take it upon themselves to contact my bankruptcy trustee to inform them of the settlement even tho I supplied them with my discharge papers and my bankruptcy attorney had told them that there was no legal basis to do so since the bankruptcy was fully discharged. They ignored me, as their client, and my bankruptcy attorney and did what they wanted to do regardless. Of the $50,000, this firm took $20,000 (40%) off the top. They also didn’t pay all the medical bills from the settlement, leaving me with a bill just short of $1000 to pay out of my share. After it was all said and done, they cost me an additional $13,000 for no reason other than their incompetence. I was left with $15,000 of a $50,000 (30%)settlement that took over two years to complete. This firm is not reputable and does not have your best interest in mind. I would highly suggest you find a different firm. Thank me later!

Russ Haugen helped me far beyond what I expected. He was polite and communicated with me every step of the way. Thank you for everything

Steve Sandler did an awesome job for me. His dogged determination resulted in an even better outccome than I expected. Plus, he's super nice, accessible, and a good communicator. Highly recommended.

It was a long 4yr fight.. but Lynn taylor never gave up on my case... Just want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you For everything you did... Your the BEST lawyer.

    Jon Walker of Woodruff Johnson & Evans has been the best Attorney I could of ever asked for. Jon was very attentive and answered all of my questions quickly and always gave me great advice. He walked me through the disability process so that I understood what was happening every step of the way. Jon Walker won my case quickly. He is the best disability attorney you could ever have on your side. In my opinion Jon Walker is the top disability Attorney in Illinois.

    After 2 1/2 years, this firm finally settled my personal injury suit. A partner was my initial attorney and he didn’t know how to “monetize my case” (his words). It seemed he wanted me to do the work for him. Once he was let go or quit the firm, I was placed with two new attorneys. They finally got my case settled for $50,000. Good news? Nope! They decided to take it upon themselves to contact my bankruptcy trustee to inform them of the settlement even tho I supplied them with my discharge papers and my bankruptcy attorney had told them that there was no legal basis to do so since the bankruptcy was fully discharged. They ignored me, as their client, and my bankruptcy attorney and did what they wanted to do regardless. Of the $50,000, this firm took $20,000 (40%) off the top. They also didn’t pay all the medical bills from the settlement, leaving me with a bill just short of $1000 to pay out of my share. After it was all said and done, they cost me an additional $13,000 for no reason other than their incompetence. I was left with $15,000 of a $50,000 (30%)settlement that took over two years to complete. This firm is not reputable and does not have your best interest in mind. I would highly suggest you find a different firm. Thank me later!

Michael Brennan was my Personal Injury Attorney for both of my Motor Vehicle accidents. I could not have asked for a better attorney or staff. Throughout my traumatic experience they were there for me from the beginning to the end. Whenever I needed anything they were there for me and would always return my calls immediately. The result they got me was amazing. Thanks to them, I finally was able to put this incident behind me. I could not possibly recommend a better attorney. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Michael J. Brennan is an amazing and extremely talented attorney. He was quick, diligent and efficient in resolving my issue against a spa owner who was guilty of doing bad business. He persisted until the matter was justifiably resolved. Thank you again, Mr. Brennan.

I was recently in a car accident and fractured my right wrist, I am a dance teacher so needless to say this was very hard trying to to recover and work with a fractured wrist. I have never been through anything like this before and was not sure how this whole process worked. I was so overwhelmed. I contacted Mr. Brennan and he was amazing the whole step of the way through this process, even if he was not available his Paralegal was there to answer any questions that I had. I could not have asked for a better Attorney and staff to help me and the outcome was amazing. I would recommend The Law Offices of Michael J. Brennan to all my friends and family. Thanks again Michael and Staff you guys are the best!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Michael Brennan. We went to him after dumping a previous council because he was going to tell me to plead guilty. Mr. Brennan said "You don't have to hire me, but DO NOT PLEA" we took his advice and did in fact hire him. Thank god we did because he handled my case and got me the outcome I knew I deserved . I haven't met any lawyer more professional than him. Thank you again

This amazing lawyer got my felony case dismissed during the pretrial hearing. I can't thank him enough!

Early one morning while on the way to work a driver turned out into oncoming traffic and collided with my vehicle. I was confused and didn’t know how to proceed. After call Staver Law firm they handle everything from start to finish. Melanie was very courteous and prompt with updates. Crystal was very nice and gave me updates on the property claim. Without Staver Law firm I would have taken a big loss. Thank you for your help.

Very professional and amazing team. I’d like to especially thank Paul, super informative and helpful. Everything was done smooth and quick, great agency. Highly recommended

I can’t say enough good things about my experience. Jared Staver and his entire team were awesome throughout the process. After my accident, I was lost and confused. I had no idea what to do. They immediately took over and let me focus on healing. I am more than pleased with my settlement. Thank you Staver Lawyers! Highly recommended!

So thankful we found this firm in such a difficult time for our family. Everyone I spoke with was extremely courteous and understanding. They answered all of my questions patiently. I recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance in the Chicago area!

In 2018 I was involved in an accident. The other driver blew through a stop sign and totaled my car. The police on scene found out that he drove on a suspended license and was under the influence. He was arrested on the spot. I am a State Farm customer for many years, and I have to say they treated me absolutely poorly. My car was old, so I had no full coverage and therefore they didn't want to pay anything. Even when I pointed out that the police determined that the other driver was at fault, State Farm refused to pay the 5000 Dollars for my totaled car. The State Farm agent told me that the police was not there when it happened so how can they determine that it was the other driver's fault. I would say the police is never there when a crime happens, that's why they investigate. Luckily, I found Staver Lawyers and they took on my case. Crystal was just wonderful, she helped me with everything. Whenever I called, she knew who I was and remembered my case right away. Paul, my actual lawyer, took State Farm to court and won over 60,000 Dollars from them. I highly recommend Staver Lawyers, they are really there for you.

Lawrence Maya was very helpful during the entire case. He's the best!! Even though it took a long time we got through it and I appreciate so much everything that he and his firm did for me!

Larry Maya exels in Professionalism, Experience and Record of Success. He also displays an incredible passion for helping victims of negligence. He was very Empathetic and Understood my injury concerns. His personal touch was very refreshing, and his TEAM displayed timely and efficient communication practices. Simply put, Larry and his TEAM rock.

This was my first experience with an attorney, and I could not have asked for better representation. Larry and Jessica always kept me informed of what was needed if they needed anything, and Larry always called me with updates and the next steps so that I feel that they working for me on my behalf and most importantly... so very kind! It felt like a friend was helping me and that experience will always remain with me. I will always refer anyone to this office for assistance.. Thank you!

My wife had an accident awhile ago and Stone & Maya was referred to us and worked on trying to resolve the case with the insurance company. The firm kept us abreast throughout the process and explained the process and fee structure thoroughly from the start. As we waited some time as can happen in cases like this when it finally came time to provide a resolution to the case. I was contacted by one of the partners Larry Maya. He was very professional explained every aspect of the settlement details, gave his professional opinion on what options we had and also what he felt was in our best interest and course of action in resolving the case. He even explained in simple English terminology that was confusing and even how and why it applied according to IL law. The entire firms responsiveness was impeccable, meaning that within minutes if not a couple hours I was hearing a response back to any questions or responses back to my documentation sent. I believe they crossed T's and dotted I's to make sure that the final settlement was accurate and that there would be no surprises. All in all it was a pleasure working with them and I highly recommend Stone & Maya for any personal injury claims.

I was fortunate to have Larry Maya represent me. His legal advice was very professional and always available when needed. He negotiated a settlement looking out for my best interest. I’m very GRATEFUL I had Larry Maya as my attorney. I would HIGHLY recommend using him for any future services if needed.

Don't bother telling people their cases are closed for over a year. Apparently of the person who injured you cries broke then this firm just gives up and says they can't be sued because they have no money. Amazing. 200k in medical bills I was hoping to get SOME of back but nope. Maybe they used to be good, they do not care anymore now that they're already rich as hell

They didn't go to bat for my family on the crestwood water case. They settled for millions & offered us less than $800 total. No amount of money will allow me to live my life after what my family and I have gone through but $800?! That's a slap to the face! Update: my mother passed away due to our case & that's still all we were offered.

Love them from the heart.. They are family... The best law firm ever live...

Great Firm, exceeded my expectations in terms of the outcome of settlement. Special thanks to Jay, Mike and Diedre

Working with Jay Deratany has been an absolute pleasure. If you're looking for a Personal Injury Attorney, a medical malpractice attorney, or a car accident attorney in Chicago... I HIGHLY recommend The Deratany Firm!
