James Urtis

Firm: Law Office of James M. Urtis Esq.
20 N Clark St Ste 3200 , Chicago , Illinois 60602
Practice Areas: Litigation
Mr. Urtis is a Chicago Personal Injury lawyer dedicated to achieving results for his clients. Practicing for over 20 years, and recovering millions on their behalf.. Since becoming licensed in the State of Illinois in 1991, he has concentrated his practice in the area of injury litigation. To date, he has amassed settlements and verdicts in excess of 10 million dollars.. The core of Mr. Urtis’ practice is litigation relating to injuries suffered in the workplace, as a result of medical negligence, as a result of defective/dangerous premises and as a result of motor vehicle collisions. The majority of Mr. Urtis’ day is spent in the courtroom, prosecuting case, presenting motions, conducting hearings, negotiating, arguing, and settling claims.. After litigating in the same area of law, in the same venue (Cook County, Illinois) for in excess of twenty years, Mr. Urtis has become well versed in the prosecution of injury claims. When to file, where to file, what to plead, who to name as a Defendant, when to be aggressive, when to be passive, how to present a motion, conduct a hearing, handle a witness, a judge or an opposing attorney – these are issues that, if not handled by an experienced litigator, can determine the outcome of a case. It is for that reason that Mr. Urtis has concentrated his practice in one area of law in one geographical area for the past twenty years.. Mr. Urtis has obtained millions of dollars for injured victims in that period of time but, apart from the money, his true measure of success lies in the clients that are elated with the way their case is prosecuted and the ultimate result obtained and the referrals he is made from his existing and past clientele.

Since 1999, I have been going to court for my clients and winning compensation for those seriously injured or killed as a result of someone else’s negligence. Our firm represents the families of those lost in terrible automobile and truck accidents, those who have suffered profound injuries as a result of medical negligence, and those who have been abused and neglected in nursing homes. When necessary, we have tried cases to favorable verdicts for our clients and just recently achieved a firm-record settlement of $3.25 Million for the familiy of a man killed in an auto accident..

I aggressively represent our clients in the state and federal court systems or pursue out of court settlements when warranted. My goal is to recover the maximum amount of damages for our clients from wrongdoers and their insurance companies. But recovering fair compensation is only part of the battle. Once a settlement or judgment is obtained, I continue representing our clients by contesting and negotiating reimbursement claims from health insurers, medical providers, employers, and anyone else who is trying to claim a portion of my client’s settlement – all to ensure that my client receives the maximum payment possible.. I welcome referrals and co-counsel arrangements with other attorneys who are looking for experienced counsel to handle their client’s negligence or injury cases. There is no charge for any initial consultation.. I am admitted to the Bar of the State of Illinois, a member of the Trial Bar for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, I am admitted to the the United States Court of Federal Claims, and I am also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. I am an active member of the DuPage County Bar Association, presently serving as a Director.

Practice Areas: Litigation
Greg has devoted his entire professional career to helping clients involved in complex divorces move their cases efficiently toward resolution and achieve the best possible outcomes. He works on all aspects of family law, but concentrates on complicated high-net-worth financial matters for C-suite executives, business owners, and their spouses. He is equally skilled in resolving complex parenting matters.. Recognized by Illinois Super Lawyers, Leading Lawyers, and Best Lawyers, Greg is sensitive to the turmoil and confusion that accompany the divorce process. He puts his clients at ease by assuring they have a clear understanding of what to expect as the process unfolds and by educating them on what the law provides. Aligning expectations with case realities also leads to greater comfort and clarity.. From the beginning to the end of the process, Greg skillfully guides—and stands by—his clients. He helps clarify goals and develops the most appropriate plan and strategy to achieve them. Highly communicative and responsive, Greg keeps clients well-informed, and keeps his promises. He clearly explains the upside and downside of decisions that must be made along the way, as well as the potential outcomes available.. With in-depth knowledge of the law and superb strategic, negotiation, mediation, and trial/litigation skills, Greg tailors his approach to the needs and circumstances of each client, pursuing a cooperative, negotiated settlement when appropriate and viable. When settlement is not viable, he is always prepared and ready for trial. As a trial lawyer, Greg has a reputation for integrity and for being creative, tenacious, and willing to stand up for his clients to protect and secure their futures.. Regardless of whether resolution is obtained through negotiation or litigation, Greg’s broad objective is always the same: to provide exceptional service and value to his clients and assure their satisfaction.. Greg has also held a number of leadership roles throughout his career. While he has served in many capacities, some notable examples include serving: as board member of CASA of DuPage, President of the Kane County Bar Association, a board member of DuPage Children's Museum Next Gen Board, director of the Kane County Bar Foundation, and member of the Assembly for the Illinois State Bar Association (which is the Supreme policy-making body of that organization).
