Chicago trial experience backed by a verified result

TORKLAW Trial Attorney Emma Smoler has taken more than 40 cases to verdict. She is admitted in Illinois and approaches injury cases with the expectation that the evidence may ultimately need to be presented to a jury.

In a recent Chicago personal injury case, the insurer made no settlement offer for more than two years and offered $10,000 shortly before trial. Emma proceeded as lead trial counsel, and the jury returned a verdict of $415,875.68. Every case is different, and this result does not guarantee a similar outcome.

Our Chicago team develops the evidence, witnesses, medical record, insurance coverage, and trial strategy needed to pursue serious injury and wrongful-death claims.
