Personal Injury 20%

I have been representing injured people since for 25 years. I have handled virtually every type of case, including auto cases, slip and fall cases, construction site injuries; transportation cases; medical, dental and legal malpractice cases and products liability matters. I have tried case throughout the state of Illinois and have recovered millions of dollars for my clients. Please let me know if you wish to discuss your case.

20%
Insurance 10%

In these cases, I represent people who are treated harshly by their insurance company. For example, a person suffers a fire loss at his or her home. When the claim is filed, it is delayed and then denied. And the carrier suggest that the homeowner was involved in the fire. I also handle claims when insurance carriers wrongfuly deny death benefits after an insured has died. Typically the carrier suggests the insured lied on the application. Please call if I can help.

26 years | 75 cases

10%
Litigation 10%

My firm handles a wide variety of civil litigation matters, including personal injury matters, employment litigation, commercial litigation, business disputes and real estate litigation. Additionally, I also handle specialized litigation including chancery matters, such as accountings, and matters requring injunctive relief. Plese contact me if you have an issue you wish to discuss.

31 years | 150 cases

10%
Medical Malpractice 10%

Initially, I worked at a large defense firm defending doctors and hospitals. Since starting my own firm, I filed a number of medical malpractice cases against local hospitals and doctors. As these cases are very time and money-intensive, I am very selective about the cases I file and litigate. Over the years I have had success in resolving malpractice cases in Cook, Lake and DuPage Counties. Please contact me if you wish to discuss your case.

Workers comp case

Mark was very thorough and kept me informed along the way. Would highly recommend!

Posted by anonymous | January 04, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Excellent

Mark was excellent. He walked me through the case, explained the process, advised, and helped reach a good settlement. He took care of it well and communicated whatever steps he advised I take that he thought was for my benefit. He also advised me of any loopholes to make sure I was taken care of. I ...would recommend him.

Worker’s compensation case

Mark did a GREAT job handling my worker’s compensation case. He kept me informed. He was great about returning phone calls and emails which I really appreciated. Most importantly I feel like he did everything he could to get the best possible result and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Great ...job Mark, thank you!! Patrick F., workers comp client

  • 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.
