Truck crashes can be devastating, both emotionally and financially. Insurance companies fight tooth and nail to protect their interests, which is why it's important for crash victims to seek legal help immediately. It goes without saying that the consequences of a truck crash can be much more significant than an auto crash.
First and foremost: Is everyone okay? It's incumbent upon you to make sure that you're healthy and safe. It's also incumbent upon you to take precautions to ensure that your legal rights are protected. Crash victims are entitled to protections under the law. Our attorneys break down the legal complexities of your case and fight hard for your rights.

My mom was a hairdresser and I always wondered, where would she get her hair cut? What about a doctor, where do they go for a checkup? I still don't know who cuts my mom's hair and I don't know where my primary care doctor goes for a stomach issue. BUT, I am an attorney and if I needed legal help in Chicago or Illinois, I am calling Levinson and Stefani Injury Lawyers.
I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with Ken, the Levinson of Levinson and Stefani, about legal issues and practicing law on numerous occasions. I am always blown away by his willingness to help and the advice I receive

After so many bad interactions with what can only be called Vulture Firms, I was relieved to have a friend put me in touch with Levinson and Stefani's firm. Their team is so thorough and I was lucky enough to work with Dan Terleckyj who is so dedicated to ensuring his client's best interest while also maintaining a consistent and calm demeanor. I found his approach so refreshing and mostly importantly -- EFFECTIVE. I really hope I don't need a injury lawyer again but if I do, Dan is the first person I'll call. His intelligence, demeanor, and overall dedication are traits that make him reputable

From start to finish I had the best possible experience with the Law offices if Levinson and Stefani. Dan Terleckyj fought long and hard throughout the entire process negotiating with the insurance company if the impaired driver that cause my accident and back injuries. I was lucky to mostly recover eventually from my injuries but I was even luckier that I chose Dan Terleckyj with The Law offices if Levinson and Stefani to represent me. Dan kept me informed regularly and provided me with all my options asking the way. He collected all the proper documentation needed with little to no effort from

As an attorney who doesn't handle the kinds of matters Levinson and Stefani do, I feel confident referring cases to them. Jay Stefani is a great attorney who is confident, smart, and knows what he's doing. I have heard back from people I referred to this firm that their cases were handled in a professional way, and they were very happy with the representation and results. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with the law office and I am very happy of all results. My case was difficult but Dan, Jay, and Ken kept on it and pushed hard. The whole office is dedicated to your case not only during the process, but even afterwards. Every time I called, Sandra would pick up and is always professional but very personable. She is very knowledgeable along with the whole team. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with everyone in the office! I would highly recommend the team if you need their services!

I couldn't recommend Levinson and Stefani more, or with higher regard. They were professional and easy to work with throughout my case, and were able to secure a settlement I was thrilled with - which brought me infinitely needed peace of mind after such a difficult experience. A huge thanks to my lawyer Dan, Ben, Sandra, and of course Ken and Jay,… who clearly run a wonderful operation, which does the most thorough job a client could ask for to get justice they deserve. Thanks to you all so much, and be assured you'll be the first recommendation to anyone I come across that might inquiry

My family and I live outside of St. Louis. During a difficult time, my family and I needed the best attorney possible for our case. Through a lot of phone calls to other attorneys, we have found the best attorney for our case. Ken had taken the time and worked with us. He even traveled to us and got to know my family and I on a personal level, not just attorney/client level. Ken truly cares. Even after our case is over, Ken does check to see if our family is doing well. I am very blessed to have found him and his firm as our attorney and as a friend.

I've been fortunate to not require Levinson and Stefani's services. However, I have known Ken for many years throughout his career and have referred several people to him. Everyone that I referred to him was immensely thankful. He is has a keen knowledge and diverse experience in this area of law. Not only does he have this expertise but he is a… genuine and caring individual. I've worked with him in regards to his blog about child safety. It's truly his passion! He makes the time to educate and ensure that children/parents are aware of various safety issues. He is uniquely poised to help

We had an issue that involved my daughter (whom which is a minor). We live in Illinois just outside of St. Louis. With our case, we wanted to hire an attorney to protect us and go after the defendant. We had checked around with different lawyers. We had found an attorney in St. Louis that had helped us find the best attorney that we needed in… Illinois. He had gotten us in touch with Ken. Ken has been great handling our sensitive case. He has been there for us through it all (even during the sentencing of the guy on the charges). Ken had shown great compassion and care for us and our case

My husband was in an accident and was injured. We were not sure what to do to ensure any and all medical bills would get taken care of by the party at fault. We contacted Ken Levinson and found them to provide great advise and they were attentive, helpful and informative with all of our questions and needs. They handled my husbands case with care and honesty. They acted quickly and efficiently and we never wondered or pondered our decision in working with them. Thank You! - Levinson and Stefani Team & Special Thanks to Brett Manchel

Ken Levinson and Jay Stefani are remarkable trial lawyers. As a fellow trial lawyer, I consider Ken and Jay to be excellent representatives of the Plaintiff's Bar and look to them as role models for my own practice. Beyond their vast legal skill and courtroom savvy, Ken and Jay treat their clients' cases with the care and attention that they deserve. I cannot think of two more qualified and caring persons to handle a serious personal injury matter. For these reasons, I endorse Levinson and Stefani without hesitation and I would recommend their services to anyone.

Ken Levinson and I met many years ago, working for a week together with a jury consultant on a case for a friend. The case involved child brain injury, and I remember being amazed at the extent of Ken’s knowledge and experience on the subject. Since this time, we've become friends, and I've had the pleasure of getting to know Ken much better on a professional and personal level. I have the greatest respect for Ken, and in fact he’s speaking at a major national legal seminar I’m putting on in just a few weeks teaching lawyers more on child injury law and how lawyers can better protect injured
