Highly Skilled, Dedicated Lawyer, We Could Not Have Asked For Better!

David represented us for my husbands serious work related injury. Ours was a very difficult case that stretched out over 8 long years with many twists and turns.Even though it took a long time through no fault of his own, he remained very dedicated to our case. He never gave up. With his extensive kn...owledge of the law and grit, David represented us so well that we received above and beyond what we originally asked for after our case was presented by him in court. Our case is now entered into the law books as law due his efforts. Both he and his staff worked very hard for us. They always answered questions, returned calls promptly and were very patient with us throughout the years. The whole firm could not have given us better service if they tried, we are so thankful for each and every one of them. We never really understood before all that an excellent lawyer goes through and does until we saw David in action on our case. He is truly an honest, compassionate and hard working man. He does not accept cases to make money but to make sure that justice is served. We feel we were both blessed and honored to have Mr. Kupets as our attorney and will forever be grateful to him. If the need arose we would not hesitate to have him represent us again. We highly recommend this very wonderful lawyer!

Highly recommended

I worked with David for over 6 years and he was very prompt with returning my calls and answering my questions. He kept me informed about progress and process of the case. I felt he represented me the best that anyone could have done.

"I have known David Kupets on a professional basis for more than ten years. We have worked on several cases together where our respective clients have sustained injuries arising out of the same incident. One of the cases involved an incident where thirteen young men and women died as a result of a porch collapse. Needless to say, it was a high-profile case in Chicago. It was also a very complex legal case. Some of the top Plaintiff’s attorneys were involved in the case. From the very beginning, Dave was recognized as one of the leaders in working up the case. His work ethic and his commitment to detail were second to none. I was extremely impressed by his desire and ability to continue to push the case forward so that there would be a resolution to the case in a reasonable amount of time. One of the traits that makes Dave an extremely effective plaintiff’s personal injury attorney is unwavering commitment to always put his client first. I have seen other plaintiff attorney’s ta"
