Personal Injury 50%

While the vast majority of our cases are won outside of the courtroom, we are trial attorneys with more than 20 years of experience. We will go to court if that is what it takes to get results. Our opponents know our reputation in the courtroom, as do area judges and fellow attorneys, who frequently compliment us on our trial skills after seeing us in action. Not every attorney knows the ins and outs of trial. We do, and that is why we are able to achieve results.

Car Accident 25%

When it comes to retaining a lawyer after an Illinois car accident, many people hesitate. They think they can handle matters themselves. Auto Accidents are quite a specialty at for the Firm. Victims are entitled to compensation and we get results. The best case scenario in these situations: The victim accepts the insurance company's settlement offer, never knowing it falls far short of what he or she was truly entitled to.

Excellent Firm. Got the results I was looking for. Quick Turnaround.

I was afraid of a long drawn out process, but David was able to get not only a quick decision but the settlement I was looking for. it was a very difficult time and we were stressed about what was ahead of us. Mr. Monteleone took all the courtroom burden off of us, and got my family a quick settlemen...t and an excellent result. it was a very difficult time, but we were extremely pleased this was not a long process. My family would recommend the Monteleone Law Firm, and especially David for coming though for us during out time of need. Thank you David.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
