This recognition is reserved for just the top 2% of attorneys in the qualifying category for that distinction.  As of October 2019, Jeff was further honored to be named a Top Personal Injury Plaintiff’s Lawyer by Chicago Lawyer Magazine.. JEFF IS A MEMBER OF THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS:• Illinois Trial Lawyers Association• Illinois State Bar Association• Chicago Bar Association• Champaign County Bar Association• Sangamon County Bar Association• Leading Lawyers Network. Jeff has been a trial attorney since his admission to the Bar for the State of Illinois in 2003. His first job out of law school was as an attorney for injury victims.  Jeff handled multiple jury trials in his first few months of practice and quickly developed a passion for getting justice for victims through settlements and trials. He then joined the State’s Attorney’s office in 2004, where he prosecuted misdemeanor and felony cases. In 2005 Jeff then went to work for Kanoski Bresney, concentrating on the representation of the injured. While there he tried numerous cases before juries in several counties throughout Illinois. In addition to his trial work, he also obtained successful results for injured clients in numerous settlements, arbitrations, and mediations.

For Jeff, there is no better feeling than obtaining maximum compensation for a victim whose claim was initially denied by the insurance company.
