This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knowledgeable personal injury attorney

My daughter was injured by a family member while we were visiting them in Illinois. I called Barry Doyle and he took his time to walk me through the process and explain each step. He was very personable and helped me to navigate the sensitive situation of notifying my in-laws that we would be seeking... compensation. Barry seems like a genuinely good guy who is great at his job.

Compliments to my attorny Barry G. Doyle

Dear Barry, I wanted to take this opportunity to commend you for the way you handled my law suit. From the minute you agreed to represent me you were always very professional, prompt, enthusiastic, positive, knowledgeable and helpful. You kept me informed of all proceedings, meetings, deposition...s, and anything and everything I needed to do. I am very pleased with the settlement of my case and that you were able to come to an agreement without actually having the case go to trial. It is interesting that it took coming to court ready for trial to have the defendant’s attorneys make their final offer. I highly recommend you to represent anyone needing an accident attorney.

Nursing home negligence

I was extremely pleased with how Barry handled my Mother’s case against a nursing home. It is amazing how much investigation and work goes into such a case. Barry worked with intensity, and always kept me up to date in every aspect of the case. I commend Barry’s passion and hard work that brought ...about a conclusion with a justified settlement. I am very grateful to him for his excellent service.

Not a huge fan.... I would look elsewhere if in the same situation!!!

Due to the complete negligence of a couple with their dog, I got attacked. Barry said we should settle for somewhere around 9K based on past cases. With pictures of blood gushing from me, a police report which put the dog owners at 100% at fault, and the complete negligence of the owners should have ...made this an open and shut case. Months go by and communication is awful. The girl in his office sound like she does not have an education past 4th grade. Barry did not return phone calls or emails and when I finally get a response, he says he emailed me but he sure as hell did not. He says we can get $4200 but he'll try for more. This was less than half his previous estimate. As more time goes by, his assistant calls and loved to just talk in circles on how they got them up to $5700 and how it is such a great deal and that I should be happy I'm not maimed. They said I had no choice but to take it as going to trial would not work and that if I sued on my own, the cards would be stacked against me. So, I settle for a 1/3rd less than what he said we were going to settle for and it was clear he was just trying to pump my case through as fast as possible without much care or concern. I would find someone else who actually communicates, follows through on his words, and hires people who have at least half a brain and don't talk down to you as if you are full of crap. You are rolling the dice if you go with this guy.
