Workers Comp case

Unfortunately, he is a DISHONEST lawyer. Mr. Rajesh Kanuru failed to notify my husband for the settlement check. In which, Kanuru Law Group, has already cashed. He is now vanished, office is vacant on Adams Street. My suggestion is if ANYONE out there has hired him as a Attorney contact the ARDC and ...file a complaint!

Complicated Cases

Mr. Kanuru took the time required to listen to and understand the issues of my cases. (This was unique in my experience thus far.) He was supportive and provided needed feedback with regard to the strengths & weaknesses of both matters discussed. I now have a much better idea and understanding of w...here I stand with regard to both legal matters.

He is Aggressive and Compassionate at the same time

When I went to him I felt like my life was turned upside down because of the accident. It felt like everyone was giving me different advice. The first thing he told me was to relax we will get through this together. During, this process it felt like that was the case. He got to really know me and... understand me. At times when he was explaining stuff he would, without even me mentioning it, tell me what issues I might have and how he planned to resolve them. The most important thing for me was that I could tell he understood not only the law but also understood the medical treatment I received. In the beginning, he cared more about making sure I was getting the medical treatment I needed and not about settling for quick cash. When we were ready to settle he never pressured me to settle. When we reached our final settlement amount, it was on a Friday, he told me not to give him an answer right then but to think about it over the weekend and we can talk about it on Monday. I have referred several other people to him because of this. He is definitely the calming factor during the turbulent times of my case.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Rajesh Kanuru since attending the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, and the Chicago-Kent College of Law together. Mr. Kanuru and his partner Thomas Ponne handled an auto accident case in which I was co-counsel and as a result of Mr. Kanuru's excellent work we were able to obtain an outstanding settlement for our client. I would highly recommend Mr. Kanuru to anyone who is seeking representation for any type of personal injury, medical malpractice or workers compensation case."
