My experience handling commercial matters along with representing insurance carriers from American International Group, Zurich Insurance, Allstate, State Farm, Liberty Mutual to Banker's Life Insurance Company, allows me to provide legal representation for small to mid size businesses and its owners in a variety of disputes. My past litigation history also enables me to represent residential and commercial real estate owners / borrowers in foreclosure proceedings, receiverships, and debt discharge matters. Most importantly, my legal knowledge enables me to provide quality representation to everyday folks, at reasonable rates, that won't break the bank.

I'd give 10 Stars if I Could
I had an amazing experience with Raphael. He was so knowledgeable, answered every question, and made sure I understood on the whole process thru & thru. The attorney & staff were so easy to talk to, really went above and beyond! I won even more money expected in the settlement ✅ I'd give 10 stars if ...

"I have known and worked with Raphael for the last couple of years. Raphael is a hard working attorney who zealously advocates for the best interests of his clients. He is a pleasure to work with and is well respected in the Chicago litigation community."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Raphael over the years, primarily preparing for and preventing voting rights litigation. I am one of three co-chairs of the Voter Protection effort in Lucas County, Ohio and he was a key out of state attorney in that effort. He worked tireless to help us ensure that hundreds of individuals with voting rights issues had their rights protected. He helped us identify polling places with issues, train and deploy 100's of attorneys from Ohio and beyond into polling places, and answer issues on election day. I highly recommend him as a very hard working, knowledgeable and dedicated attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Strzelecki has been a litigator for the last 8 years. He has strong work ethics and fights hard for his clients. He is not afraid of going to trial to obtain the best outcome for his client. Mr. Strzelecki keeps up with the law and is very knowledgeable in the areas he practices. His calm demeanor, charming personality, strong sense of advocacy and vast experience appeals to many clients who genuinely like him. I wouldn't hesitate to have him by my side when in need of help."
"I had the opportunity, and pleasure, to work with Mr. Strzelecki for several years at Newman Raiz, L.L.C., in a direct supervisory capacity. I found his dedication to clients complete, his legal knowledge superior and his ethical standards beyond reproach. Since working together, I have kept in regular contact with Mr. Strzelecki and have consulted with him numerous times on a variety of legal matters. I consider Mr. Strzelecki a superior attorney and a valued colleague, whose opinion, insight and knowledge I hold in the highest regard. He is among the attorneys I would refer my most valued clients to, without reservation."
