Services
Since 2000, Woodruff Johnson & Evans Law Offices has been helping injured individuals and their families throughout the state of Illinois. From our office locations in Aurora, Champaign, and Chicago we provide compassionate, aggressive, and dependable representation for all types of personal injury claims.
Attorney Casey Woodruff discusses why we recommend that you do not give the insurance company a car. Attorney Lynn Taylor discusses questions clients frequently ask during a workers' compensation. In Illinois, if you sustain a work-related injury, you are entitled to two-thirds (2/3) of your pay. My second time with Leandro A. at Woodruff Johnson and Evans.
Selecting a law firm should not be an intimidating experience. At Woodruff Johnson & Evans, our Aurora attorneys understand that it takes more than legal experience and skill to win your satisfaction. When you retain our team as your trusted counsel, you can take comfort in knowing we will put your needs first.
Put these three words together and you have defined the lead workers' compensation and personal injury attorney at Woodruff Johnson & Evans. Over the course of his career, Attorney Casey Woodruff has handled thousands of injury claims, recovering millions of dollars for people who have been seriously hurt.
Respect for working men and women is the driving force behind Jay Johnson's commitment to workers' compensation law. It is a respect that runs deep. One of Jay's grandfathers was a Kentucky coal miner; the other, a member of the United Rubber Workers. Because both his grandfathers worked extremely hard in less-than-ideal environments, Jay has great empathy for those who get hurt on the job.

I felt that their office represented me very well with a very difficult people to deal with. The process took a long time but at the end they were able to close the deal. I want to thank you for the support and ability to answer any and all questions I had during this process. They were patient with me and made it worth reaching out to them.

Russ Haugen did an exceptional job handling my case. For the most part, he answered all of my questions before I had the chance to ask. Anything else I needed, he was quick to respond. He found additional compensation that I was due. This alone, let me know that he was taking good care of me.
I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would certainly call Russ again for any similar needs. I was a referral from another of Russ’ clients; and I, myself, will not hesitate to recommend his services if ever the opportunity arises. Many thanks to Russ and Stephanie.

Excellent Law firm! Russell Haugen represented me, and he was absolutely amazing! He always checked on me and answered every phone call regarding my concern we settled for way more than I expected! He’s kind and considerate! I highly recommend Russell! He won’t let you down and God forbid but if I were to get injured again he’d be the first one that I’d call!!

I was one of those guys that thought WC insurance would take care of me without legal representation. Then one day in the middle of being treated they closed my case without warning. When I questioned the WC insurance agent I caught her in a blatant lie and contacted Russell Haugen at my wife's recommendation. He quickly got the case re-opened and… ended up getting me a total knee replacement. I was also awarded a settlement and money set aside in case any further treatment is required.5 and a half years from the injury to settling the case. Highly recommended,

After a few conversations, and a visit or 2, I like that they listen to you, communication is a mainstay in my opinion, and I get that feeling of confidence. I will highly recommend this firm!

After the 2 1/2 years it took to settle my case, these lawyers took it upon themselves to make decisions, without my approval or even speaking to me first, that cost me an additional $13,000. Their decisions meant that they took more of the settlement than I received. I had the opportunity to stay with one of their partners when he left the firm but I stuck with them. Big mistake! I highly suggest you find a different firm that has your best interest at heart, as this firm does not.

After 2 1/2 years, this firm finally settled my personal injury suit. A partner was my initial attorney and he didn't know how to "monetize my case" (his words). It seemed he wanted me to do the work for him. Once he was let go or quit the firm, I was placed with two new attorneys. They finally got my case settled for $50,000. Good news? Nope! They decided to take it upon themselves to contact my bankruptcy trustee to inform them of the settlement even tho I supplied them with my discharge papers and my bankruptcy attorney had told them that there was no legal basis to do so since

Mr Walker did a good job, he always checked up on me and kept me up to date with the proceedings. Some other guys I know from work have used this law firm and they all highly recommend them.

Dexter (DJ) Evans was incredible at handling my auto-accident case and provided constant communication about any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend him and the Woodruff law firm to my friends/family. If I ever need an attorney again I will most definitely be calling Dexter. Thank you for your genuine and professional help with everything in my case the past couple years- I am highly confident in your work!

Go anywhere else! This firm is very dysfunctional, rude, and unprofessional. Dishonest ambulance chasers, disorganized, and they do not care about the clients, just money.

Extremely rude! Was told I cannot get social security if I am working. When I asked how am I supposed to pay my rent I was told "Ask Donald Trump."
Totally unprofessional and uncalled for.
