The best Workman's Comp Attorney

I got injured on the job and didn't know where to turn. I researched Workman Comp attorneys and found Chuck Devens name. I sent an email to him on a Saturday morning and didn't expect to hear anything from him for a few days, but was pleasantly surprised when he emailed me back within hours. I set... up an appointment and met with him a few days later. Chuck was very knowledgeable (he wrote the book on Workman's Comp for IL) and shared this with me. He was honest and upfront from day one. Whenever he ran into a delay or small problem, I was always apprised of the situation, be it email or phone contact. He always kept me abreast of my case and what to expect for a settlement and why I would get the amount, so that there were no false hopes or expectations from me. He was fair all the way around. If you're looking for an honest and very intelligent attorney that will go to bat for you, and someone with a great sense of humor, then Chuck Devens is that man.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
