Not just an excellent lawyer but a genuine person who will always have your best interest in mind.

If you are reading these you are probably in limbo after an accident and looking for help to turn too. Let me tell you Rallo and his team have been great with me. Doug is a real and everyday person and will take your case personally to get you the best settlement. I was in a major highway crash about... a year and a half ago and underwent a splenic laceration and shoulder surgery. Doug had great recommendations for doctors and really guided me every step of the way and was very informative of our complicated legal system. He has also helped me in my personal life with some excellent business connections! Him and his team have had me in their best interest from start to finish and I believe they will do the same for you. I strongly recommend.

Best Lawyer Ever!

I was injured from a fall at work and broke my shoulder. I did not know what to do and after being referred to Doug Rallo to help me I was well taken care of. Doug from day one stepped right in to assure me that I would have the best medical care and compensation for my injury. While I was waiting on... workman's comp to okay my pain meds that they had refused to pay, Doug stepped in and got my meds released the same day. He assured me that I would not have any more problems getting the prescribed meds that I needed from that day forth. Doug is the best lawyer ever that I have had from this experience which was a nightmare when I was trying to handle things on my own. When one of my doctors left his practice, I did not know what to do or which way to turn but Doug stepped in and got me another surgeon who specialized in the surgery I needed. He assured me that he would be there for me no matter what and he has been. I was injured in 2019 and Doug has been there for me through the thick and thin of the entire process from injury through surgery and everything in between. Doug is the best lawyer for any type of injury case you might be faced with. additionally his entire office staff is friendly and very helpful when ever you go to the office to meet with him or drop off paper work. I will always and forever be grateful for Doug's professionalism and his attention to my case. It felt like I was a family member he was taking care of. I truly appreciate everything Doug has done for me through my entire case. God bless him always for looking out and taking care of me. I will always refer him to anyone who needs a great lawyer for injury cases. Char

Review of Douglas Rallo

I had the pleasure of meeting Douglas Rallo when I suffered a serious car accident. I had talked to two other lawyers who were ambulance chasers about my accident, but neither one struck me as someone I could trust. Then I was referred to Douglas from another friend who told me you won't go wrong... hiring Douglas Rallo. If you need a diligent personal injury lawyer who will not back down and is ethical and upright, then you should talk to Douglas Rallo about your case. It goes without saying that Douglas Rallo is an upstanding, approachable and well respected Lawyer in Libertyville, IL He is not your ordinary lawyer looking to make money, but he is genuine, honest and will always give you his legal perspective on your case. When I met him he listened to me, asked me straight forward questions with only good intentions for my case. When I hired Douglas, I found Douglas to be on my side all of the time. He doesn't miss a beat and is well organized and confident. The office staff is excellent and courteous. Douglas fought for me and never stopped fighting for my complicated case until he rightfully won, which is exactly what Douglas said he could do. Insurance companies will not fight for you and I will tell you for sure local insurance companies don't want to hear from Douglas Rallo. I encourage anyone with a personal injury case, no matter how small or how large, to call Douglas Rallo. You will not be disappointed. This review was written by me, his very greatful client, and I was not paid or persuaded in anyway to write a review for Douglas Rallo.

Douglas Rallo, talented personal injury attorney.

Doug Rallo of Rallo Law is an excellent personal injury attorney. Doug's in depth knowledge of the law is a benefit to anyone seeking his representation. Doug gets to know his clients on a personal level which helps him understand the extent of their loss and injury. This rare gift helps give Doug th...e ability to negotiate some of the largest monetary case settlements on behalf of his clients. I felt at ease dealing with Doug and his staff knowing my law suit was being managed by a highly qualified and professional staff. The office operates with the best interest of the client in mind. Doug helped me obtain one of the highest settlements in Lake County, IL, according to the Jury Verdict Reporter, for a rotator cuff injury I suffered in a car accident. I highly recommend Doug Rallo too many of my friends and colleagues and anyone reading this reviewy
