This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Personal Injury Law - Automobile Accident

I had the fortunate experience being represented by Mitchell Lipkin during my unfortunate automobile accident. My selection of Mr. Lipkin resulted from a recommendation from another prestigious Chicago attorney and from our initial informative meeting – where Mr. Lipkin’s candor, intellect, and expe...rience were highlighted. As an attorney myself, I was not verse in the personal injury law, yet Mr. Lipkin patiently explained my case in a manner that was objective, coupled with his subjective opinions based on his years of experience. He promptly and regularly communicated with me throughout the arduous process. He answered my numerous inquiries with candid and resolute responses. He negotiated on my behalf with an obstinate insurance company's representative to my benefit. He also managed to secure a resolution that we did not anticipate. It is with my utmost pleasure and regards to recommend Mr. Lipkin in this area of practice.

Work comp

I had 2 separate worker comp injury claims against my employer and Mr Lipkin handled both flawlessly. All bills were paid, there was direct and constant communication as it pertained to weekly payouts, medical visit approvals, legal release of medical information to workers comp company, and frequen...t well checks. After MMI was obtained in both cases I received an above average settlement in both cases without having to go to arbitration. I will/would use Mr. Lipkin's services in the future for any and all situations regarding matters of this sort

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
