Recommended when it comes to Recovery

Michael handled my case with great attention to every minute detail. He thoroughly explained me every step of the process and constantly updating me with case updates. I would happily recommend Cogan & Power to those who are looking for personal injury lawyers in Chicago.

Posted by anonymous | April 9, 2014

HE EXCEEDED ALL MY FINANCIAL EXPECTATIONS

My Suit was pretty complex, yet Michael Cogan knew exactly what to do. Along with his experience and medical expertise, he hired the top doctors and consultants in the country to support my case against opposing doctors, lawyers, and hospital. Michael and his team also made me feel comfortable during... this most tragic time of my life. They know how to play this most difficult game, and WIN. The BEST possible choice I could have made.
