I worked for Joe early on in my legal career. To date, I’ve yet to meet an attorney that possesses the attention to detail, empathy, and work ethic that Joe possesses. His ability to relate to his clients is unmatched. It does not matter how big or small the case is, Joe’s advocacy is unwavering. I continue to learn from Joe to this day.

An honest, hard-working lawyer, who strives to achieve the best result for his clients. I endorse Atty. Kramer and believe he will do your case justice!

In an industry full of motivated, detail oriented, and hard working individuals, Joe stands out in every category. You will not find another lawyer more educated in legal matters, more professional, or who will work more tirelessly for his clients. If that wasn't enough, Joe is personable, easy to talk to, and has a knack for making complex matters understandable. These are all wonderful client-focused qualities. It makes him an excellent colleague as well. Joe represents the best of what the legal profession has to offer. If I had a personal injury or products liability case, Joe would be my first call. You simply will not do better.

Joe is what defines a diligent, compassionate, and competent lawyer. It's unfortunate but it's not always a guarantee that you will get all 3 of those phases out of a lawyer. I would contact Joe for any kind of injury case coming out of IL. Not only does he know what he is talking about, he also genuinely cares about the client and getting the client justice. As the motto I live by in practice, it's not about making a million dollars for Joe; it's about helping a million people. Any client should be honored and happy to have Joe represent you in a personal injury matter.

Joe Kramer is an experienced mass tort attorney who cares deeply about his clients. It was a pleasure working with him on a TVM case.

For the past few years, I have worked with Joe Kramer on a complex pharmaceutical drug case. We worked together shoulder to shoulder for a month preparing senior counsel for numerous depositions. We also split up and took the deposition of the Vice President of Clinical Trials for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Joe has spent the time to really understand the underlying science in the case, which is a fundamental necessity for finding liability in these types of complex cases. From this personal experience, I can confidently say that Joe is incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable, and committed to the practice of law.
