At Salvi & Maher, our personal injury attorneys have over 70 years combined experience helping people obtain compensation for injuries. In addition, two of our attorneys have served the citizens of this area as a representative or senator in the Illinois General Assembly.
This combination of public service and private legal practice makes us particularly sensitive to the concerns of residents. We use this awareness in our legal practice every day, calling clients to let them know about developments in their case.
Our fees are contingency-based. This means that we charge a fee if, and only if, we are successful in obtaining compensation for your injuries. We also do not charge for the initial consultation in which we discuss your case and outline your options.
Our office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. Because we know that taking time off to see an attorney is difficult for many people, we also offer evening and weekend hours by appointment.
Our main office is in Waukegan, Illinois. For your convenience we also provide offices in Richmond and Wheaton. Our clients come to us from around the greater Chicago land area.

However, some insurance companies find ways to deny or delay your claims even if you can show that your policy provides for coverage.
