Attorney Christopher Panio has received several prestigious awards throughout his career.
He's received numerous nominations as a Super Lawyer by Thomson Reuters, a distinction awarded to only 5% of state lawyers for their peer recognition and professional achievements. He achieved one of the highest verdicts for a partially torn rotator cuff in Illinois in 2022 and became a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum for securing a $4 million settlement in a pedestrian accident claim. This forum is exclusive to lawyers who have won million-dollar and multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements, with membership limited to fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers.
Additionally, Attorney Panio has been recognized as a Top 10 Personal Injury Attorney by Attorney and Practice Magazine in 2018 and as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by The National Trial Lawyers, among other accolades.
