This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Insurance Defense Attorney

I am the Claims Director for a mid-size T.P.A. and inherited Mr. Cerney on several ongoing litigated matters when assigned a new GL Insurance claims program through my company. I had never met or worked with Mr. Cerney before, but the results on all cases were so successful, his legal knowledge an...d acumen so advanced, that I began to use Mr. Cerney on other litigated insurance defense matters. That was approximately 17 years ago and I now use Mr. Cerney exclusively on litigated cases throughout Illinois and can state for the record, he has never lost a case or obtained a bad result for any of my clients. Mr. Cerney is attentive, knowledgeable and responsive. His firm is not large, but they have been able to successfully defend cases with substantially large exposures to very small matters without any inefficiency. I recommend Mr. Cerney and his firm fully for any insurance defense work that you may be considering them for. His dependability and skill are as good as any attorney I have ever worked with and I am extremely supportive of this recommendation on his behalf.

Solid Guidance

Tim provided thorough counsel and thoughtful analysis during times I needed help the most. In both a personal injury case and a dispute with my condominium board Tim's steady hand and persistence made all the difference in getting the desired results.
