About William
Biography
Mr. Cassian's practice focuses on the litigation of civil matters such as personal injury, medical malpractice, commercial litigation and unemployment compensation claims.
When he was 13 years old, he lost his father to a heart attack that should have been diagnosed and treated. Over the course of four days where his father had seen several doctors complaining of left jaw and shoulder pain, his heart grew weaker until, on the fifth day, he died after pulling to the side of the road on his way home from work. The doctors had missed the classic signs of heart attack probably because he was only 37 years old. In any event, this is what led to Mr. Cassian seeking a career in the legal field. He knows what it feels like to experience loss due to negligence.
Since taking and passing the State Bar Exam in 1994, Mr. Cassian has handled countless litigation matters in Northern Illinois Courthouses. He has conducted jury trials in Cook, Will, Dupage, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Winnebago and LaSalle Counties. During the 11 years before he opened his own firm, he worked for a national law firm based in Illinois. During his time there, he represented one of the largest retailers in the world, represented numerous hospitals, the insureds of several well-known insurance companies and numerous physicians and nurses in the defense of a variety of claims.
"Over the years, I have developed a diverse civil practice. Since 1994, I have concentrated on personal injury, medical malpractice, unemployment compensation and collections work. For over a decade, I represented defendants such as doctors, hospitals and major retail establishments as well as the insureds of many large insurance companies. I have developed an extensive knowledge of what it takes to prepare a claim or case and present it to the insurance company or claim representative that represents the defendant. I have practiced in Cook, Dupage, Will, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Bureau, Champaign, Vermillion, Sangammon, Kankakee and many other Illinois Counties. Not only have I appeared before judges in these counties, I have presented trials to juries in many of these counties. I know what it takes to win the cases that I accept and I keep my clients informed along the way.
I have also performed countless unemployment compensation hearings on behalf of both employees and employers."

Successful Unemployment Appeal!
When my unemployment benefits were denied, I was referred to Mr. Cassian by another lawyer who had successfully negotiated a separation agreement. Mr. Cassian is knowledgeable, compassionate, honest and was a calming force when my self confidence was at an all time low. I am very grateful to him for ...

BIG MISTAKE
I have never expected a lawyer to be so scared to go to trial. He lost his concentration often and totally messed up my case. I went to get another lawyer. Not recommended at all.

Replied last July 09, 2021It should be noted that this person wrote this review anonymously. Despite that, I have had only one client in the past 10 years that has been unhappy with me, so I know exactly who this is. This client tripped and fell on a sidewalk in front of her residence. After a lengthy litigation process, we appeared before a settlement judge who hears these cases every day. The judge recommended an amount for settlement and we got exactly that amount. This client accepted the settlement and received $100,000 in her pocket tax free after paying attorney's fees, costs and medical. It should also be noted that, although she claims to have talked to another attorney, she stayed with me. I guess it really is true, even though you try your best, you can't please everyone.
