Posted by Cedric Davis | June 23, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

The best Attorney in Illinois (Bar None) No pun intended

In the spring of 2006 my son was home from college spring break. He was a passenger in a vehicle with a friend who was speeding on a residential street at speeds of 70 mph. My son's friend slammed into a tree and my son nearly died on the scene. Fortunately, his friend who was driving barely had a sc...ratch. When we visited my son at the hospital that night, me and my wife were greeted by the hospital Chaplain as my son was not expected to live. Once he was made stable, we began the process of having to start the legal process. We retained Jeffrey M. Shancer of Chicago. Jeff as we now call him, from the initial consultation to the settling of the case, did everything humanly possible to resolve this case expeditiously, effectively and with personal care in mind. Jeff visited our home on many, many occasions. Both me and my wife are working professionals andd Jeff took that into consideration. His office in downtown Chicago and we lived in Lake in the hills, Il which is a log way from downtown. We never once set foot in Jeff's office as he would be sure to make his communication with us either coming to our home in person or via phone/email. We never once were inconvienienced by him. There is not enough room in this post to say enough about Jeff Shancer. It has been 10 years now. Neurologists said our son would never go back to school. Our son came ut of his coma, returned to college and graduated successfully with a Bachelors Degree in Sports Management. Although this is a professional review, I would be remiss to say Jeff is not only considered our family attorney but a family friend. We know his entire family and he knows ours. We have since moved to California but still considers Jeff our family attorney/friend. If you are considering an attorney who is sensitive to your case versus their own interests, please give careful consideration to Jeff Shancer. Cedric

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.
