About Richard

Richard I. Feingold has over a quarter-century of experience practicing law.

As a personal injury and disability attorney, he concentrates his law practice on representing clients seeking compensation for a personal injury or Social Security disability benefits due to an injury or illness.

Mr. Feingold understands that physical and mental pain and disabilities can destroy a person’s ability to function normally, not only on the job, but also in his or her own family and in society. He is sensitive to the needs of injured and disabled individuals and is determined to aggressively fight for their legal rights.

Although his firm, Richard I. Feingold & Associates, P.C., is based in Chicago, Illinois, Mr. Feingold and his team represent clients throughout the United States. He uses internet and communication technology to assist out-of-state clients and represent them just as effectively as local clients with whom he is able to meet personally.

Review Richard Feingold

Exceptional, Empathetic, Patient

Posted by

Mr. Feingold provided exceptional legal services, patiently and clearly explaining the steps in a very long SSDI claim process that resulted in the best possible outcome. He encouraged me to stick with the process through two appeals, and made the many steps very manageable and easy to understand. Beyond his professional expertise, I most appreciate his empathetic and genuinely caring personality. He and his friendly and knowledgeable staff were a pleasure to interact with over the span of two years. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Feingold to anyone seeking excellent legal representation. I feel truly blessed to have been represented so expertly and treated with such generous compassion.

Would hire him again

Working with Richard helped me navigate the process related to my disability claim. He cut through a lot of paperwork, thus saving time. I definitely would not have been able to take this on with my disability. Not to mention, he’s friendly and easy to work with.

Dedicated & Personalized

Posted by

I found Rich right on this very website. And per the other reviews here, I'm also extremely satisfied with the advocacy he did for my case. He is very dedicated to his clients. Rich always made sure to answer any questions I had. And, as my case required multiple hearings, Rick always thoroughly walked me through each what to expect. And although several hearings were required, Rich never made me feel like he was giving up on my case. If anything, he was even more dedicated in obtaining approval. I absolutely recommend Rich Feingold.
