From start to finish Ankin Law Firm immediately made me feel like an old friend was there for me. I don’t remember the name of the kind gentleman that originally came out, but he showed genuine concern and because I couldn’t drive, he came to me in horrible weather. Attorney Rudolfi and Cassie ALWAYS immediately responded to my many many questions. And NEVER made me feel as if I was a burden or just another case. I hope to NEVER need these services again, but I’m glad that I got to meet (although never personally, Covid) them.

Ankin Law helped me when I was injured at work. I was scared how I was going to pay my medical bills. Ankin Law and all their representatives helped me every step of they way. They were friendly, professional and showed empathy to my situation. Not only did they make sure my company paid my medical bills through workman's comp, they fought for me and I received compensation due to the injury effected my mobility of left arm and shoulder. I can not thank the Ankin Law team enough!! I thank you so much and highly recommend them to anyone. They gave me a peace of mind during a very stressful time

I had a great experience working with Attorney Scott Goldstein at Ankin Law Office. Would highly recommend him or anyone at Ankin Law. Couldn't have gotten the treatment I needed without his efforts. Best experience with a lawyer I've had hands down.

Trina the receptionist is very personable, and professional in every way. Trina is someone that I look forward to talking with when I call Ankin Law Office. My overall experience with Scott Goldstein and Alex Quigley is superb. I highly recommend having them as your legal representatives in resolving legal matters. I most definitely have the confidence and trust they have and will always fulfill my legal matters with providing expert knowledge in all matters.

After my car accident! I received many phone calls from different Attorney offices. I was scared and physically hurt! I just wanted to breath!
I decided to call Ankin Law Office because they weren't hounding me down and I always would see the Commercials that would have my interest. I worked with a very Professional team and Attorney Matt F.
always insured me on the outcome of my case. Cynthdia V. was always pleasant and I would definitely utilize the team again.
Thanks for your service

My life was upended when I was struck by a car going 35 MPH while walking across the street. My tibia was dislodged at the knee requiring major leg surgery, it was a difficult recovery with great pain and discomfort and almost five months of physical therapy. When I was in the hospital I contacted Ankin Law to represent me. From the moment of initial contact and throughout the entire process I felt like I made the right choice as everyone I came into contact at Ankin was very friendly, caring and helpful, special thanks to Cynthia. Matt Friedman was the attorney assigned to my case. It was a pleasure

I retain Ankin Law regarding a work-related injury. Ankin Law assured me that they can assist me in receiving the medical treatment for my knee surgery and shoulder replacement surgeries that I required due to my reference work related injuries. Although Ankin Law continue to reassure me for months that they will resolve my matter, it was not true. Ankin Law refused to answer very important question that I had in my matter. Eventually all my phone calls, questions and concerns went ignored through Ankin Law. I am not sure if my above injuries where too small for Ankin Law to address or weather

After a car accident, I contacted Ankin Law. They are a good firm. I had two different lawyers work on my case. I was able to contact them with any questions I had. I had few. So, it wasn’t that often. Ultimately, I was very happy with the final result. Thank you Ankin Law. I will use them again if I need to. I am just hoping I don’t! Five stars for sure!

I had an INCREDIBLE experience with Ankin law. Howard Ankin himself assured me on day one his team would assist and support me through the aftermath of my accident. I worked specifically with Jeff Lust who was absolutely phenomenal! Good at his job, and patient with me. Jeff listened to my frustrations, supported wherever needed, and communicated clearly and timely! My case was handled with care and competence. I will forever be grateful and appreciative of Ankin Law. 10/10

First, this review is for a specific attorney, I had a previous attorney (Jonel Metaj) but he left Ankin and my case was automatically referred
to attorney Brien DiNella, let me say, this guy will NOT care about you or anything related to your workers comp case. I've repeatedly let him
know that I've been trying to pay rent and food and need my compensation for time off from my shoulder surgery. I had surgery on my shoulder on Sept 23rd. TO THIS DAY, I have not received a cent in time off for SURGERY. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY WHAT WORKERS COMP IS FOR. This weak pansy has no fighting spirit

Ankin Law employs Raquel Gross as one of their staff attorneys after
working at another company a few years earlier. My advice to you is
to beware! If you email her for info
or updates regarding your case, i
my opinion, she won't response in
a timely fashion. ( See included pic)
If you decide to use her, then I warn
you, do so at your own risk!!!! Also
if you decide to lodge a complaint
against any Illinouis licensed lawyer,
don't waste your time with ARDC,
the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission since they close the majority of the complaints they receive. Beware

Attorney Justin Lewicky did a great job on my personal injury case and I cant be more pleased. The flow of work and the overall process was organized from the beginning, Justin explained everything step-by-step and continuously followed up with thorough communication. He was always there for any questions I have. I am happy to have done business with the Ankin law firm and if need be, will be returning in the future.

I called Ankin when my family had a sudden lawsuit to deal with and didn't know how to handle it on our own. They referred me to Gus and he has been nothing short of amazing. He is knowledgeable and honest regarding my case and has left my family feeling confident in the outcome. My case is not yet over but even still I can say I would definitely call Gus again if ever the need arises in the future. Thank you Ankin Law for having a great professional team.

I was involved in a bad accident at work. I decided to hire Jill Wagner at Ankin Law. She was wonderful to work with, explained all documents throughly, and answered all of my questions. She made me feel at ease during a very difficult time and went over all of my benefits. Jill was very persistent in the courtroom and won my case. Because of her I received a very large settlement. Thank you Jill! I highly recommend her.
