Dedicated, Thourough, Class Act.

Mr. Weisberg could be accurately described with two words. Class Act. My wife and I were injured while on vacation in Chicago and did not know where to turn. Through the friend of our family came the recommendation for Mr. Weisberg. His response was prompt and he immediately put us at ease with his a...pproach. Having not had to deal with a situation like this before, my wife and I were skeptical to say the least. Josh's assurance that our focus at the time should be on our health and not our legal matters was something that stood out in comparison to the other attorney that we met. Once we were able to return to good enough health to deal with our legal issue, Josh and the staff at Rapoport Law Offices were there to guide us through the complex steps of dealing with a personal injury lawsuit that would have otherwise encompassed our entire lives. Josh took the time throughout the entire process to educate us and explain to us what was going on each step of the way. I would not only recommend Joshua Weisberg as a qualified, focussed, intelligent, and compassionate Personal Injury attorney, but I would also now consider him a friend. If you are looking for an individual that will take the time to understand your unique needs and how the law applies to them, Josh Weisberg would be someone to consider. Thanks to Josh and everyone at Rapoport Law Offices. We are happy that our path crossed under the circumstance that existed.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
