Very good injury lawyer around Crystal Lake.
Overall I had a very good and positive experience with Mr Greeley. The entire process took less than two years from the date of the accident to the date I received my settlement checks. The communication with the firm was intermittent, but he always kept me in the loop and replied to my inquiries quickly. I did not have to pay anything up front, and he was accomodating, meeting me at my place of employment whenever necessary. I appreciated his calm and friendly demeanor throughout the process.

Excellent and dependable lawyer
Attorney Greeley is an amazing lawyer. He will go above and beyond for his clients. When I was in a car accident not my fault, I needed someone in my corner to be there for me and fight for me and he was. He took my worries and fear away and gave me my life back. If you need someone to listen, understand, and fight for you then attorney Greeley is your man!

You Can't Argue With Results
Steve Greeley and his team were extremely helpful, from our first meeting all the way through the entire claim process. They explained everything to me and gave me realistic expectations as far as winability of my case, time-frames, things to keep in mind and questions I should be asking from my doctor, to my therapist, etc. They were very thorough and were able to do nearly everything via phone or email. His expertise came through best in the form of a large settlement with very little effort on my part, and it didn't stop there! He negotiated with my health care providers(including physical therapist) on my behalf AFTER the case was over and got them to agree to lower my bills, which meant more money in my pocket. And it didn't end there either! During the settlement phase I ended up moving across the country and on a phone call with Mr. Greeley, I complained about the garbage they call pizza in my new state and, wouldn't you know it, within a couple days he had some pies delivered to me all the way from Chicago. I'm telling you, the guy ain't nothing but class! He is committed and will come through in many different ways, which means a square deal and a large settlement. He's intelligent and energetic and I can't recommend him enough.

Top notch
I was in an accident and felt like life just kicked me once again and was left with a neck injury and no vehicle. He met with me and was honest. I knew what to do and he made me feel hope for once in a long time. He handled everything and all I had to do is communicate when there was an update. He was very understanding of what I was going through and followed through on all he said he would. He made my life 100x easier and took alot of my worries away about how I would get my life back to normal. My only worries were getting healed and finding a good vehicle. He was very easy to talk to and made sure I understood exactly what was going on and if I didn't understand he explained in ways I could understand. I highly recommend Steve and the firm they are all wonderful people and do a great job.

I was referred to Steve by a friend, and my experience was nothing short of amazing. I reached out for a consultation and ended up hiring Steve. He was fast, efficient and communicated with me all the time. The Staff at the office is so friendly, the office is clean and I was very happy with my settlement. Not once did I regret my decision. Steve will definitely be getting my business again.

Always there for you !
I hired Steven for a workers comp case. I injured my back at work . The company I worked for wasn't paying me for the time off work and also fighting not to cover medical care . The case went on about 8 years with multiple surgeries and a lot of time off of work . After hiring Steven all my problems and confusion disappeared .Steve always explained things thoroughly , always retuned phone calls promptly , and ALWAYS had my best interest in mind . I would grade Steven 6 stars in a 5 star situation !

Steve is an expert in all his fields of practice! He really prevailed in representing our company in matter regarding Workers Comp, FMLA, Continuation of Employment, Termination of Employment. We are a Motor Carrier so these matters must be navigated accordingly and council must be familiar with FMCSR also.
Great Job Steve!

Client
When my husband and I were in a motorcycle accident, Steve went to bat for us at every turn. We had issues with the other person's insurance not wanting to pay in a timely manner and Steve handled it so we didn't have to. He also took care of the medical bills and getting them work with us and the insurance companies. Steve answered all of our questions and walked us through the process every step of the way.
I would recommend Steve and his staff to everyone I know!!

McHenry County Illinois law firm
To Whomsoever It May Concern,
I am quite honored to write a review for Mr. Steven Greeley from the law firm of Franks, Gerkin & McKenna. Mr. Greeley was my legal representative on a disability case and other personal matters in the McHenry County Illinois area that lasted over two years. During that time Mr. Greeley was always honest, straightforward and demonstrated excellent communication skills. One example of Mr. Greeley’s communication skills was whenever I had a question or concern; I always received a response within 24 hours by phone or email.
In addition to having a high degree of integrity and a cheerful personality, he is one of those rare individuals who was concerned for me as his client and wanted what was in my best interest. What I admire most about Mr. Greeley is he is a good human being with excellent leadership skills that works hard and is a good listener that is extremely intelligent. The entire staff of the law firm of Franks, Gerkin & McKenna constantly treated me with respect and was always friendly to me including showing a positive environment when I needed to go to his office.
Mr. Greeley just didn’t defend my legal rights but not one time in my case did he compromise what I thought was fair for me in the negotiation process. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Greeley and his law firm in any case you need to get results and want a firm that means business.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carlton
