Personal injury attorney

Being injured from an auto collision with an at-fault driver, their insurance company, and workers comp since it was during work seemed like a daunting and complex task. There are so many personal injury attorneys out there and only a few whom you can trust that's in your best interest. I did so...me extensive research online before choosing Colburn Law and I'm truly thankful I did. From start to finish, their attention to my case never wavered. I've dealt with a large law firm regarding business matters in the past and an individual firm for a past auto accident so I had some positive and negative experiences and reservations. Their professionalism, knowledge, availability, and promptness in response blew me away. Greg and Tina have the professionalism, and knowledge of a large expensive law firm but with more personalized attention and true dedication to get you the best settlement on your behalf. For example, my case was settled two years ago but due to the complexities of medical bills paid out by worker's comp and their slow response to negotiating a settlement, and finding any outstanding medical bills, was not an easy task. Even though my case was settled two years ago, Greg and Tina continued to work diligently on my behalf to get me the best medical settlement last week. Which attorneys will work on your behalf for two years after? I highly recommend Colburn Law to anyone in need of a trustworthy personal injury attorney.

Quintessential Commitment

I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Greg Colburn and his team. From the moment I reached out to them for help with my personal injury cases, particularly the motor vehicle collision and trip-and-fall incidents, they have been nothing short of exceptional. Greg's diligence and honesty t...hroughout the process were truly remarkable. Despite the complexities of my cases and the added challenges of my disability, he and his team were there for me every step of the way. Their attention to detail and unwavering commitment to my well-being made all the difference during a difficult time. What sets Greg Colburn apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine care and compassion for his clients. He and his team went above and beyond to ensure that I received the support and representation I needed, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. I also want to commend the entire team for their professionalism and dedication. Each member played a crucial role in the success of my cases, and their collective efforts did not go unnoticed. In conclusion, if you are in need of competent and compassionate legal representation, look no further than Attorney Greg Colburn and his team. Their commitment to justice and their clients is unparalleled, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Greg, for everything you've done for me.

Very Pleased

Greg was a pleasure to work with! He was calm and prepared us for each step. He was open and gave great advice. I would highly recommend Colburn Law. Tina, the paralegal was just as helpful and friendly. She also played a very important role.

Personal Injury attorney

Greg Colburn represented me in a personal injury case and did a fantastic job! I was in Chicago on a business trip and was injured in a minor car accident. He was attentive, showed compassion and concern and took care of everything and I was able to get the compensation for long-term therapy for my b...ack. I recommend him highly
