Hale & Monico
We are passionate about the pursuit of justice for our clients. Our attorneys have regularly been featured in the news, as well as television shows and documentary films. Our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers and we will not hesitate to take a case to trial if necessary in order to obtain a just result for our client.

Our 40-year-old client fell and hit his head. He went to the hospital where an abnormality was found on his brain. The defendant doctor and hospital misdiagnosed the brain abnormality and discharged him home. The brain abnormality resulted in a brain aneurysm. The aneurysm caused catastrophic damage, including significant neurological deficits and paraplegia.

How rude I have spoken to several people between number for justice center in Peoria Illinois and Chicago. Left name of attorney for mr hale to please call. Betting hope reason is he never got message. Nor have I been called back from Mr Hale. I will not talk. He needs to please contact the attorney whose name and number was left. Professional courtesy. As for justice center please a zoom appointment after with an attorney. First attorney needs to speak .

We were referred to Ms. O’Connor of Hale & Monica during a very difficult time. She immediately responded to our needs and treated us with empathy and respect during a trying time. Ms. O’Connor was thorough and effective with our case. She exercised professionalism during a sensitive matter. She worked tirelessly, even on weekends and late nights putting together our response. Although she was empathetic with us, she was energetic and effective with the opposing party. Thank you Ms. O’Connor for all of your hard work, care and attention.

John Chwarzynski handled a personal injury matter for me in the past. He was incredibly helpful and always provided valuable insight. The result he obtained for me on my case was over 10x the insurance companies first offer. John is the best! I highly recommend his services!

Words can’t express how happy I am to have found John. Just when thinking the fight to free an innocent man was over I found confidence in John.
From the moment I met him and told him about the case he was ready and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. What other lawyers have been working on for years, John has completed in weeks!
He is always there day and night answering questions and always keeping you informed.
He is never afraid to fight for what he believes in.
When searching for a criminal defense lawyer it doesn’t get any better than John.

We employeed this firm to help us regain possession of a rare artifact. Over the past 2 years, this team has demonstrated a truly personal connection and concern to us. Calls are very quickly returned, answers and explanations are not verbalized in legalish but in an easy to comprehend manner. They are honest on their expectations of what the outcome maybe but very encouraging as well. Their resources and case history is remarkable - second only to their desire to have justice served and truth prevail. I highly recommend this firm to represent you in your legal issues.

Brian Monico represented me in a case wherein I suffered 3rd degree burns, underwent multiple procedures and was left permanently scarred. Brian did a phenomenal job working up the case, but the insurance company made a low offer in an attempt to save money. Brian took the case to trial before a jury and far exceeded my expectations. Brian obtained an amazing verdict on my behalf and beat the offer by 5 times. Brian is a very skilled trial lawyer, but also very personable and relatable in front of the jury. I highly recommend him as a lawyer in personal injury and medical negligence cases.
