Chicago Civil and Personal Injury Attorneys

Law Firm Overview FREE CONSULTATION

Noonan, Perillo & Marks, Ltd. provides experienced representation in the areas of personal injury, criminal defense, and, family law.

Each of our attorneys — partners and associates — has at least 10 years of trial law experience. We are deeply familiar with the law. We have the talents required for effective civil litigation and criminal defense trial advocates.

Not every matter ends up going to trial. Any litigator must be prepared to settle disputes out of court if possible to reduce stress and expense for clients. However, our attorneys possess the ability and skill to try a case to verdict if necessary. In Lake County, we have that reputation.

Areas of Law

Areas of Law Description

Our practice areas include:

- Personal Injury

We help injured people recover damages for negligence lawsuits and related cases such as workers' compensation. If you or a family member have been injured due to nursing home negligence, a car accident, dog bite, slip and fall, workplace accident or any other cause, we will investigate whether you are entitled to compensation and pursue the legal compensation you deserve.

We make every effort to meet with prospective clients or their representatives within 24 hours of receiving a call or e-mail. Contact us at our offices in Lake County for legal help with any of the following personal injury issues:

• Car, motorcycle and truck accidents
Every auto accident case is different, and our attorneys have the experience to build an effective strategy to pursue a motor vehicle accident injury claim for a driver, rider, passenger or pedestrian.

• Workers' compensation
If you have been injured on the job, your employer must pay your medical bills and partial lost wages, as well as compensation for any permanent injuries — regardless of who was at fault.

• Nursing home negligence
If you or your loved one has been injured at a nursing home due to negligent medical treatment or personal care, our experienced trial lawyers can pursue fair compensation.

• Dog bites
In Illinois, dog owners are legally responsible for their dogs and can be held accountable for dog bites and other injuries.

• Medical and dental malpractice
Doctors, dentists and other medical providers are held to strict professional standards of care. If you have been injured during a medical procedure or endured illness because of a missed diagnosis, you may be entitled to compensation.

• Construction site accidents
If you've been injured on a construction site, do not assume that workers' compensation is your only option. Someone other than your direct employer may be responsible for your injuries.

• Slip-and-fall and property-based accidents
Property owners are responsible for keeping their facilities safe for others. If you have slipped and fallen or otherwise been injured on someone else's property, we can help.

• Defective products and contaminated foods
Manufacturers, distributors and retailers of consumer products — including food products — are legally responsible for accidents and infections.

• Bar and liquor store liability
Businesses in Illinois can be held liable in the event they sell alcohol to intoxicated persons. In some cases, a bar or liquor store may be held responsible for drunk driving accidents, assaults and other incidents.

- Criminal Defense

If you have been charged with any crime, from DUI to a drug offense, sex offense or violent crime, we are fully prepared to stand up for your rights in court if necessary. Our lawyers will protect your rights at every stage of the process, including at trial. Our team includes three former prosecutors, giving us a well-rounded perspective on how the system works and how to obtain the best possible results for you.

Contact the criminal defense attorneys at our Lake County office if you are facing criminal charges or need help with a related issue, including:

• DUI and driver's license issues
Our criminal defense lawyers are prepared to represent you on your first DUI, second DUI or a felony DUI charge. We can also help you with license revocation issues if you refused a Breathalyzer or were charged with a DUI. We work with toxicologists and other experts when necessary in strategizing your defense.

• Drug crimes
From simple marijuana possession to interstate drug trafficking, our experienced attorneys handle the full range of drug charges under Illinois and federal law.

• White collar crimes
If you have been accused of fraud, embezzlement or any other financial crime, our attorneys can provide you with skilled representation.

• Identity theft
If you have a stolen Social Security number or are charged with a cybercrime, we can defend you and protect your rights.

• Sex offenses
People accused of sex crimes face immediate stigma from society, even though they are legally innocent until proven guilty. We will defend you and protect your rights.

• Domestic violence and violent crimes
If you are facing any violent crime charge, you need a skilled advocate. If you have been accused of domestic violence, you may be facing both criminal charges and a civil protective order.

• Expungement and record sealing
A criminal charge of any kind can stand in your way of getting a job or an apartment. Our attorneys can help clear your criminal record.

• Juvenile crimes
When someone under 17 is accused of a criminal offense in Illinois, juvenile delinquency proceedings will take place. We are highly experienced with the distinct challenges of the juvenile justice system.

• Military criminal defense
Our firm includes a former Navy JAG officer experienced at representing military personnel facing court-martial within the U.S. military justice system.

- Family Law

Whether you are going through a divorce or your child is in trouble with the authorities, our attorneys are familiar with the unique standards and procedures that apply in family court and juvenile court. Our experienced lawyer can provide you with much-needed support, advice and advocacy.

• Divorce
Our attorneys represent clients in all aspects of divorce and dissolution of marriage under Illinois law, including child custody and visitation, child support, property division, division of retirement benefits, and spousal maintenance (alimony).

• Juvenile law
If a child is accused of an illegal offense, or if the child's parents are accused of abuse and neglect, our lawyers are prepared to pursue a positive outcome in the juvenile court system.

• Domestic violence
If you have been a victim of domestic violence or accused of domestic violence, you need an advocate who is familiar with both the criminal justice system and the protective order process under civil law.

• Paternity
Children are entitled to support from both of their parents, regardless of whether they were married at the time of the child’s birth, but it may be necessary to establish legal paternity first. Additionally, parents may have to litigate child support against the Illinois Department of Health and Human Services.

• Post-decree issues
Many family law decrees, especially those involving children, are subject to modification. We handle parental relocation, child support adjustments, educational costs and all other modification requests. We can also help with child support enforcement.

• Adoption
Whether you are seeking to adopt a stepchild or looking to bring a new child into your family through adoption, the advice and representation of a lawyer can make the process go much more smoothly.

- Civil Rights Violations

If your rights have been violated at work or by local authorities, we can help you assert your rights in court. We handle sexual harassment, police misconduct and all other civil rights violations.

- Construction Litigation

We handle a high volume of construction cases, including disputes involving contractors, subcontractors, developers and other participants in construction projects; construction defect claims; mechanic's lien cases; and construction accident personal injury suits.

- Business and Commercial Litigation

Our experienced trial lawyers will craft a litigation strategy based on your individual or business goals in any business or commercial dispute, including contract disputes, employment disputes, insurance disputes and consumer law cases.

- Military Justice

The justice system for military personnel presents distinct law and legal procedures. We are highly experienced at representing service members who are being prosecuted for military offenses before courts-martial.
