Highly Recommended
I would recommend Matt to anyone. He is very easy to deal with and returns calls and emails promptly. I received a bigger settlement than I expected so I'm very happy that I hired Matt.

Great Lawyer
My wife and I were struggling about what we should do after I was hit by a truck. Matt was very helpful and efficient with everything that needed to be done.

Great Lawyer!
Matt obtained an excellent result on my behalf. He kept me in the loop during each phase of my case. While I was expecting my case to take years to resolve, he brought it to a conclusion in less than one year.
"Outstanding lawyer and person. Excellent legal ability as well as compassionate individual who truly cares for his clients and works tirelessly for the best result for them. I give Matt my highest endorsement."
"Matt Willens is a top-notch Chicago personal injury lawyer. He stands ready to protect the legal rights of his clients and will fight to obtain the compensation they need and deserve. He truly understands how to compassionately handle personal injury cases. Matt is a zealous advocate who is experienced and knowledgeable. His hard work fighting for his personal injury clients has earned him honors and recognition both in Illinois and nationally. I would highly recommend and endorse Matt Willens to anyone needing a personal injury lawyer in Chicago."
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney who does great work for his clients."
"I endorse Matt. He is a very competent, aggressive and compassionate trial attorney. Matt and I were opposing counsel some years ago. I have since recommended him to a number of people needing a top-notch personal injury attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Matt is a very experienced personal injury attorney who also provides excellent personal service to his clients. This has allowed him to build a very successful practice."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred clients to Matt and have always been pleased with the results. He has handled each case with great skill and professionalism while maintaining excellent communication with the client. He combines outstanding courtroom skills with impeccable ethics. Matt has my highest recommendation."
"I endorse, and highly recommend, attorney Matthew Willens. I have known Matthew for a number of years. His integrity is impeccable, his work ethics is strong, and he is a fierce fighter on behalf of his clients. He has vast experience in personal injury and medical malpractice law. I have seen Matthew at trial. You couldn't ask for a more confident attorney by your side at trial. His knowledge of law is impressive and most importantly, he keeps up with the latest trends in law. Matthew has a unique experience. Although he represents plaintiffs, he knows the ins and outs of the insurance industry. That has given him the advantage of knowing the fair value of each case. And, since Matthew is well respected among his fellow lawyers, judges, arbitrators, and mediators, his settlement demands are taken seriously by his opponents. Matthew's settlements and verdicts are in millions of dollars and too numerous to list here. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a great lawyer."
"Great lawyer; great guy. I've known Matt well for the last 16 years and give him the highest endorsement. One of Matt's unique qualifications is that he once had a job advising a huge insurance company what to pay in its highest risk cases. From this and his other experience Matt knows what personal injury cases are really worth and how hard insurance companies work to underpay claims and thereby increase profits. Armed with this knowledge Matt does whatever it takes (of course within the bounds of the law and evidence) to obtain the highest monetary recovery for his clients as fast as possible. While most of the time accomplishing this means assigning the case to himself for handling from start to finish; importantly (and unlike too many of his colleagues), when the job calls for help that might cut into Matt's profits, he does not hesitate to get it anyway because Matt always puts his client's best interests first. These reasons are why I ask Matt for help in my cases when needed."
"I have known Matt since he first became a lawyer and started working for our law firm. From the start he was dedicated, hard working and talented. Having watched him progress in his career, it is obvious he has developed into a very successful in his practice as a personal injury attorney."
"Matt is a great lawyer. I handled a case against him back when I was a defense attorney and he was a tough opponent. Since switching to the Plaintiff's side about 10 years ago I have periodically called on him for advice. He's a great lawyer, and a nice guy, who has obtained great results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred numerous cases to Matt and he has professionally, honestly and ethically handled everything I have ever sent him. He has obtained wonderful results where the case merited it and quickly let me know when a client had no case. This is the kind of honesty and integrity I look for when I refer one of my clients out for another attorney's care. I highly endorse Matt."
