After 36 years of practicing law, I have officially retired and closed my law firm. I want to thank all the attorneys who mentored me; those union leaders who gave me the opportunity to speak at union meetings and recommend me to their union membership; each of the clients who trusted me with their cases and recommended me to others in need of help; my fantastic support staff; the many lawyers with whom I collaborated and brainstormed on litigation strategy; my old partner, Mark Glass, for believing in me enough to be worthy of his partnership; all of the other people who referred cases my way; those lawyers who helped me while I was undergoing medical treatment the last few years, especially John Winterscheidt; and some of the defense lawyers who understood that the civil practice of law involves civility.

Exceptional Service
I have had the pleasure of having Michael Korein as my work-comp attorney. After being told by employer that I couldn’t file a claim, I contacted Michael. He reassured me that he would handle it. And, handle it, he did! Michael and his staff made the process as painless as possible. They took care...

I had a work comp case for almost 3 years. I had a lawyer prior to Michael that stole money from me every week, & I didn’t know any different. When I fired him and found Michael he is the one that told me that my previous lawyer was stilling money from me. He had a talk with my previous lawyer and he...
"Michael is a highly skilled and intelligent advocate for his workers' compensation clients. In this highly compartmentalized area, he is the go-to guy without exception. I have referred numerous workers' comp clients to him, and in addition to obtaining outstanding results for the clients, he is very hands on and willing to keep his clients well informed throughout the process (not many attorneys are willing to do this). Simply put, I know that when referring a client to him, they will be in good hands. I endorse him without reservation."
"Mike and I have been on the opposite side of cases for a number of years. He's always well prepared, knows the applicable law and is an enthusiastic and zealous advocate for his clients."
"Michael Korein is a sharp legal mind and an excellent work injury attorney. I know any client I refer to him will be well represented."
"Mike is a great lawyer. He is conscientious, smart and hard working. I refer him my Illinois Work Injury referrals as a result of his ability and succesfull recoveries in these matters."
