About Robert
Biography
Mr. Walsh is experienced in many complex practice areas, including insurance coverage and liability. U.S. News-Best Lawyers named him a top attorney in the area of plaintiffs' Personal Injury Litigation.
The area of insurance law is becoming more complex with each passing year and, as one of our leading accident attorneys, Robert Walsh is ahead of the changes. For over three decades, Mr. Walsh has been handling automobile and other vehicular accidents, all with amazing clarity and aplomb. His keen intelligence in sorting out liability and insurance coverage issues has led many to call upon him for his expertise and sound, practical approach to what appears to be complicated, emotionally-charged matters.
As one of our most capable accident attorneys, Mr. Walsh can handle hundreds of details. He can juggle a caseload with numerous lawsuits at the various discovery, pre-trial and post-trial stages. Mr. Walsh's well-known and beloved staccato conversation allows him to move from case to case, advancing matters at an appropriate pace for all involved. He is an endless fount of knowledge, for everyone turns to him at some point in time for his words of wisdom in the areas of his sub-speciality. As one of the leading accident lawyers in Chicago, he has been invited as a guest speaker at numerous seminars presented by the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education, the Illinois State Bar Association, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, and the Northwest Suburban Bar Association.
