Biography

I am serving as of counsel to Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC. I am a respected trial attorney with a successful national track record in representing clients in personal injury cases. Throughout my distinguished career, I have secured many multimillion-dollar negotiated settlements and jury trial verdicts.

My dedication to the law involves working long hours and preparing to take cases to trial if necessary. My professionalism and record of success provide the level of confidence my clients need to address their legal issues.

My commitment has earned the respect of my peers, and I am recognized by national, regional, and local groups as one of the top in my profession. Additionally, I have been rated as an attorney exhibiting excellence in practice by the Illinois Super Lawyers Rising Star.

I have extensive experience in the courtroom, using my knowledge and understanding of the law to present cases effectively to the jury, ensuring favorable outcomes for my clients. I am also available 24/7 to educate my clients and answer their questions during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

For years, I have been a successful trial lawyer representing clients suffering from injuries including broken bones, whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, disfigurement, concussions, infections, bedsores, mental trauma, permanent disabilities, and preventable fatalities.

Before hiring me, many of my clients struggled to deal directly with insurance adjusters and health insurance forms necessary to recoup their damages for medical bills and lost income. From their first initial consultation, I focus on every aspect of my client’s cases to ensure that their stress levels are reduced, allowing them time to recover from their injuries.
