Bob is on your side to the end! Easy 5 stars!

I have a case that we started back in 2016. We have been dealing with every last desperate attempt to delay the ending of a case we won. He has been great with communication and has been very diligent on keeping my case moving forward. Thank you Bob for all you do for me and my family.

Kreisman Law Office

Robert Kreisman is a compassionate, conscientious attorney. His tenacity, energy to fight for you and knowledge of personal injury case law is stellar. I don't know what my family would have done without his help and dedication to make sure I received compensation for injuries and loss of work. Thank... you Robert Kreisman.

Great Chicago Attorney!

Mr. Kreisman has always offered great advice and directed me in the right path. He helped my son and I achieve the highest possible settlement with respect to our motor vehicle accident. I would definitely recommend him if you are in need of an attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
