Car Accident

A truck hit me and ended up totaling my suv while I was 7 months pregnant. Luckily we were ok but Spiros knew how badly this whole situation was for me physically and mentally. They took awesome care of me and fought for what was right in this situation. I applaud the hard work and them actually cari...ng how much this all meant to me. I would recommend Spiros to anyone because of how much they care about every case.

7 x what was offered = contentment

Jim was an excellent leader and coach in helping my wife and I in getting the results needed for my long term care after my injury. Through his hard work, dedication, and knowledge of these situations we were able to get seven times what the original offer the insurance company wanted.

perfect experience

I contacted Mr Spiros because my adult son was severely injured in an accident. I explained the situation and my ideal outcome. Mr Spiros worked quickly to get the outcome we desired. It was resolved faster than I expected by several months. I was kept in the loop along the way. When my son was wel...l enough to self-advocate, Mr Spiros talked directly to him, caught him up, listened to my son’s thoughts on the matter, and generally executed a smooth handoff from my being the client to my son. Jim Spiros is patient, thorough, and compassionate. Most of all, he is competent. I never worried about the outcome because he’s the best there is in central Illinois and beyond. He’s the perfect combination of New York-aggressive and midwestern-nice. Side note: The office staff at Spiros Law are consummate professionals. Their care and concern were second only to their excellent service. They answered questions by phone and email quickly, courteously, and correctly.

Receiving reviews like this and knowing that I was able to get justice on your sons' behalf means a lot to me.

Posted by Amanda | December 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Very helpful through car accident

Immediately after being involved in a car accident I contacted Spiros Law and knew right away that this office were going to take care of my case. I hired them and it was the best decision i could've made. I had many questions and was very apprehensive as this was a situation i hadn't been in before ...but the entire team put me at ease and answered any questions and concerns i had. They did not disappoint and I honestly did not expect the level of care and humanity I found with James Spiros and his entire team.

Medical Malpractice

Jim Spiros went above and beyond for our family! We had a case that most attorneys would want to run alway from we knew it was going to be extremely hard and exhausting as he and his team had to find experts in the field we needed that would not shy away from testifying due to the circumstances that ...surrounded our sons issue. It was long and tough but not once did he bow out, he had faith in our cause and wanted to make sure that our son was taken care of when it comes to a point that we would not be able too! He is dedicated, dependable, and once he believes in you and your case will not let up!!! Jim spent 6 long years fighting and working tirelessly to make sure he had everything needed to try our case; he treats you more than just a case, you are more than just a client and the Spiros team is and will always be a part of our family!!! They cried with us, prayed with us and won with us!! Jim is relentless and will never quit, he is an extraordinary and we will never be able to give him and his team the thanks they deserve for the hard work they provided!!!

Michael Maloney

Personal injury lawyer | Nov 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Our client was seriously injured in a collision. In order to avoid costly litigation expense we made a demand slightly less than the policy limit. The carrier claimed numerous policy defenses. Jim prepared an excellent brief in response to the dismissal motion and before the hearing the carrier paid. The brief and response was so well done the carrier initiated settlement without waiting for oral argument. Jim's reputation and excellent work caused this settlement. Jim was personal, friendly a pleasure to work with and I would gladly recommend him to any attorney or client."
