Ron was very knowledgeable of his field. He was very patient with me and explained all of my options in great detail that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed and he always returned my phone calls in a timely manner whenever I had questions. He was always respectful and very professional ...representing me.

Took care of all my needs

Ron helped me and my family when I had a bad injury to my hand. He always made himself available to my wife and I. I have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so.

Workers Compensation Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Cobb from a former colleague after suffering a bad injury on the job. I was told by a friend who is an attorney that Ron is one of the best petitioner's attorneys in Chicago. After our initial meeting, it was clear why he's got that reputation. From the get go, he was on top of ...making sure that my medical needs were taken care of and I received my comp benefits while off work. I was very happy with the final result. Go to him if you need a great lawyer who knows his stuff.
