Before you hire a lawyer in Chicago

Check the license. The Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) shows whether a lawyer is licensed in Illinois and authorized to practice, along with any public disciplinary history and whether they report carrying malpractice insurance. It is free and takes a minute.

Need a referral?

Chicago Bar Association lawyer referral: the city bar's service for finding a lawyer by legal issue.

Top Lawyer USA is not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice, and contacting a firm through this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Deadlines and rules change and depend on your facts, so confirm them with a licensed lawyer.
