Workers Compensation 20%

If you are hurt on the job, you should retain an attorney to file an Application for adjustment of claim in the Illinois Workers Compensation Commission. This is basically a no fault system set up to help employees to recover monies and get re-employed after a work related accident. The law also protects employers from court actions for their negligence. There are issues of causation, temporary and permenant disability which are best handled by an experienced Workers Compensation Attorney.

A welcome opportunity to let you all know how excellent David Feinartz is as an attorney, but also as a man.

I recently had surgery that was very successful. I did not hesitate to let friends, family and acquaintances know that I had the surgery, how excellent the surgery went, who the doctor was and how he had changed my life. My wife and I recently went through Chapter 7 bankruptcy with David Feinartz.... The entire process as orchestrated by David was superb. But, have I gone out to friends or acquaintance an tell them that we had just gone through "Bankruptcy," and that we were so fortunate, so blessed to find an attorney that changed our lives. Unfortunately the answer is no. Why, at the age of 71, I did not want to advertise that our financial condition was such that we required the expertise of David Feinartz. I was ashamed that we had to file for bankruptcy. David was recommended to us through a friend that admitted that he had experience bankruptcy and what a wonderful experience is was to work with David. Following up on our friends recommendation, we certainly found that to be true. We had been fighting financial problems since 2009 only going deeper and deeper in debt. Our only knowledge we had about bankruptcy and bankruptcy attorneys was through commercials on TV......................... and these guy"s can certainly scare you. On our friends recommendation, we met with David and found him to be calm, and understanding of our concerns, even our terror of our future. David, after calming us down, explained the options we had ahead of us, made a recommendation as to how he would proceed. Davids calming manner in addition to his level of knowledge and professionalism was everything our friend who recommended David and more. We have completed our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and starting over. We will always be grateful to David as well as our friend who recommended David to us for changing our life. Thank you David

Makes Stressful Circumstances Less Stressful

David was recommended by a trusted friend to help us navigate foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings. His knowledge in helping us through the court system was and is invaluable. Perhaps more valuable has been the time he has taken to make us feel a little less diminished as a result of our circumst...ance. His is all about making sure that we get the best possible outcome in the end.

An attorney who actually cares about his clients

David Feinartz agreed to help me at a time in my life when my financial condition had deteriorated to rock bottom. He has helped me overcome the adversity of terrible credit card debt both personally and with my business over a prolonged period of time. He was patient, reasonable and encouraging to ...both my wife and me. A spinoff of the financial problems which came to a head six years ago impacted the attempted sale of our house after a neighbor's tree rendered it uninhabitable. It took three years, dealing with my insurance company and the bank, to repair the house and ultimately sell it in a short sale. David helped me avoid bankruptcy, which would have been the easy way out. He has counciled me on the road to recovering my credit rating and refinancing an investment property which my wife and I now live in. He began as my only hope to survive one financial crisis after another and has become a symbol to me of what the legal profession should be, but seldom is: the protector of the vulnerable. I can't say enough about his legal knowledge, expertise and his humanity.
