John B Mesirow

May of 2017, I was involved in a car accident involving 2 vehicles. Fortunately I was able to walk away as many do not. After spending time in the hospital I had to figure out my next step. I had accumulated doctors bills, my car needed to be repaired and I had to take time off work. I had no idea wh...ere to start. I was referred to John by a friend and let’s just say this friend really liked me because John turned out to be the blessing that my rainy day called for. With John as my lawyer, I didn’t have to sweat the small stuff. He referred me to a really great doctor, made sure that all of my medical bills were paid and that I received compensation for my time off work and for my injuries. John handled everything, I never had to deal with insurance companies. My only worry was getting better. At the end of the chaos, John made sure that I was more than compensated and for that John is more than my lawyer he’s my blessing. Thanks John!!

John handled my case after I was struck by a cab that made a left into into my bike lane. It would be a gross understatement to say that the months following the accident were a difficult time in my life. I thought the case would be cut and dry because I was following traffic signals; had the right ...of way; and as I mentioned above, was riding in the designated bike path. Nevertheless, cabs are notoriously difficult to extract a settlement from and they carry minimal insurance. I had sustained broken bones and underwent months of physical therapy. I was working freelance, so I did not have sick leave and had to leave hundreds of paid hours on the table. I felt scared and shaken up whenever I thought about the accident - I did not want to think about it. During my first interview with John, he mirrored my feelings about the accident. He is a fellow cyclist and easily struck up a report with me. These personal details were important because the accident left me feeling very raw and hesitant to advocate for myself. He apprised me as to the difficultly of extracting a settlement from the defendant but in a way that made me feel like I deserved to be advocated for, regardless of the result. His firm patiently checked in with me for updates as I continued over a year of medical treatment related to the accident. In the end, he got an excellent financial result for me. John is a great advocate. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Mesirow is a compassionate attorney who cares about his clients and a seasoned litigator. He represented me and my family in an automobile accident. He protected us and set everything right from the moment we stepped foot in his office until the case was complete. He never waivers in that he car...ries the tradition of the old civil right attorneys. A constant advocate for individuals rights. You don't need to look anywhere else for legal services.
