He helped my son

Jon Papin was our lawyer after our son Matthew was injured during labor and delivery. As it turned out Matthew's brain injuries were permanent and he later developed CP. I was comfortable with Jon from the beginning and he took his time to explain the litigation process. He kept me informed as to wh...at to expect as our case progressed. He got our family the highest amount of money ever reported from a medical malpractice case in our county (Will). He earned my trust and our family considers him a friend.

Trucking accident lawyer | Dec 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the privilege or working with Jon on a handful of trucking cases and medical malpractices cases in the past. His skill and expertise is truly second to none. Jon spends an unimaginable amount of time on each of his files and "works the file up" better than anybody I've ever worked with. I fully endorse Jon as a trial lawyer in the fields of medical malpractice, trucking crashes and personal injury cases in general."

Trucking accident lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Jon Papin has proved himself to be one of the top legal strategists in Illinois, with a trial track record second to few. He has time and time again shown the ability to find what others in the profession don’t even know what to look for. He has unlimited compassion for those who require his services but also the ability to go to war when the trial bell sounds. I have personally observed Jon in and out of the courtroom and his prior experience as a defense attorney allows him to anticipate the defense before the defendant’s theory in unveiled. His skill in catastrophic trucking mishaps and medical negligence cases bring to the fore his penchant to dig deep, leave no stone unturned and provide his clients with a much needed blanket of security."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
