Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Clancy Law located in Chicago, Illinois provide legal assistance in cases of personal injury, accidents and medical malpractice. Our firm's roots in northern Illinois extend back more than 100 years to John D. Clancy, who first practiced law and was a Justice of the Peace in Riverside, Cook County, around the turn of the century. An unbroken succession of Clancys have practiced in Cook County, Kane County and their surrounding areas ever since, with the predecessor to Clancy Law opening its doors a quarter century ago.

We are also unusual in the sense that our firm is both small and intimate, yet is led by personal injury lawyers with extraordinary experience in courtrooms across Illinois and the country. Representing the rights of injured people and their relatives is all we do. We work in courtrooms across Illinois and Wisconsin nearly every day moving cases forward and making sure that our clients are treated fairly. Our reputation is such that lawyers from Illinois and other states often ask us to assist their seriously injured clients in achieving full and fair recoveries. It is a measure of the regard with which members of the firm are held that judges and even insurers have asked both Wendell and Michael Clancy to serve as mediators on catastrophic injury and medical malpractice cases.

At Clancy Law, we've never wavered from our basic commitment to working closely with the people and families we represent. We see clients in the same way we would members of our own families — as elderly relatives, newborns, sons, daughters and parents. This perspective helps us stay focused on the fact that when lives are cut short and people are disabled due to the negligence of others, everyone in that person's family suffers too.

At Clancy Law, our personal injury lawyers take the initiative. We present facts based on expert testimony and the scientific disciplines of medicine and forensics during the negotiation and trial preparation of your case. Our personal injury attorneys are committed to making the law work for people instead of against them. Working with you one-on-one, we're dedicated to fostering open lines of communication and accessibility.
