In 2018, I got one of the largest known workers compensation wage-differential settlements in Illinois ($1.52 million dollars) for my client. Also in 2018, I got the largest dog bite settlement ($555,000) in Illinios involving a fingertip amputation. I settled a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) case for $775,000, which is the largest reported PTSD settlement in Lake County. My $450,000 shoulder injury settlement from an auto accident case is also the largest reported shoulder settlement for Lake County. I also practice in Wisconsin and fought for a $975,000 auto accident settlement for a client with a herniated disk injury in his neck.
I am rated as a "Top Lawyers in Illinois" 2017 and 2018. Chicago Tribune has written that my "pioneering legal theory" on valuing the lost enjoyment of life "is credited with winning millions of dollars for people severely injured ... or killed by the negligent conduct of others."
Most of the cases I handle involve serious injuries with surgery or multiple surgeries. Examples of the injuries we deal with are herniated disks, torn meniscus, rotator cuff tears, fractured wrists, elbows and ankles, torn labrum, impingement syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other serious injuries.
The types of cases we handle involve workers compensation, automobile/truck/motorcycle/bicycle/pedestrian accidents, dog bites, wrongful death and other injury cases where someone else was at fault.
I am proud of my hard work and accomplishments. I have won millions of dollars for people who have been injured. I am a very strong and aggressive advocate for my clients.
I believe in YOU. I understand your pain, disability and the financial hardships that your injury has caused. When you need someone to TRUST and LISTEN TO YOU about what you're going through, I will BE THERE FOR YOU and get you the compensation you deserve. As a small firm, you will get PERSONAL ATTENTION throughout your case. You will get your questions answered in plain talk. Your phone messages will be returned quickly. You will know what's going on with your case. YOU WILL HAVE A TEAMMATE who will work together with you to win your claim. With me, you will have confidence that you have the BEST LAWYER FOR YOUR INJURY CASE.
Here is a little of my background. My grandparents came to America from Italy with a few clothes and a couple of dollars. My parents taught me the values of hard work, discipline, problem solving and giving everything I could, to succeed. I was raised in New Jersey and came to Chicago to John Marshall Law School (now part of University of Illinois at Chicago). I have practiced workers compensation and personal injury law for more than 35 years. I have taught other lawyers, written many published articles, and am a past chairman of the Legal/Medical Committee of the Lake County Bar Association. I have been written about in Newsweek Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, and have been interviewed on radio and tv several times.
I am ready to help you NOW. Please call me at.
