Steve was very professional and made the process smooth for me. He was very informative when answering any questions i had, always kept me up to date with any new details, and made sure that every decision made was in the best interest of me. I would 100% recommended this law firm.

Heatless Apartment

Steve represented me when my apartment complex in Chicago failed in providing me heat. He was extremely knowledgable on relevant laws and statutes that were applicable to my case. He is very professional and honest. I am honored to have retained him!

Tenacious

Posted by

When an immigrant friend's new van was involved in a crash, and his insurance claim was denied for what seemed to me to be unfair and wrong reasons, we contacted Steve McCann. The case was complicated and daunting, involving a three-way finger point among an insurance agent and the two separate insuring firms my friend's account had been funneled to. Steve dug in, and after a year's back and forth, he was able to get the liability issue completely resolved, and he recovered the cash value of the van from companies that were hoping to walk away from their shoddy practices. Steve McCann righted the wrong, and we are grateful.

Great Honest Lawyer

Posted by

My husband and I experienced a devastating loss several years ago, and did not know where to turn. We found ourselves scourged by unscrupulous people, scavengers whose only interest was to make money. We unknowingly hired people who deceived us into thinking that they could solve all of our problems. We eventually realized that these lawyers had deceived us with false promises. We looked on Avvo, and contacted Steve McCann and Drew. After spending countless hours talking to them and sending them all the correspondence we had relating to our case, we felt complete confidence in choosing them to represent us. They have always been available and supportive, and we feel confident that the smartest thing we did was to hire Ball and McCann. Our case is coming to a close, and Steve and Drew have worked diligently to assure us that we will be very well compensated monetarily. More importantly, it gives us great comfort to know that Steve McCann and Drew are there for us. We value their trustworthiness and consider them to be our friends. Sincerely, Joe and Wendy

First I want to start off by saying that Steve McCann is a great lawyer! My family and I were in a situation and Steve helped us and assured us that he will help us with this matter and let me tell you he actually takes situations like my family and I went through seriously. He's professional and very firm on what he says and stands on it 100% long story short he got us an outcome we were looking for due to the situation we were all going through and lost alot of household items if I ever were in the situation again he's the only attorney I would go to! Thank you Steve McCann for everything you have done for me and my family justice was served

I endorse this lawyer. Litigation is always confusing and frustrating. You are at the mercy of the courts, opposing counsel, and now coronaviruses! That's why having a champion like Steve McCann in your corner is the best way to stay sane during the process and come out a winner at the end. Many (most?) lawyers are so impressed with their skills they forget that the client and the client's needs are most important. Steve has the skills and never loses sight of the goal: Serve The Client.
