St. Charles, IL Personal Injury Lawyers
Our firm's roots in northern Illinois extend back more than 100 years to John D. Clancy, who first practiced law and was a Justice of the Peace in Riverside, Cook County, around the turn of the century. An unbroken succession of Clancys have practiced in Cook County, Kane County and their surrounding areas ever since, with the predecessor to Clancy Law opening its doors a quarter century ago.
We are also unusual in the sense that our firm is both small and intimate, yet is led by personal injury lawyers with extraordinary experience in courtrooms across Illinois and the country. Representing the rights of injured people and their relatives is all we do. We work in courtrooms across Illinois and Wisconsin nearly every day moving cases forward and making sure that our clients are treated fairly.
Our reputation is such that lawyers from Illinois and other states often ask us to assist their seriously injured clients in achieving full and fair recoveries. It is a measure of the regard with which members of the firm are held that judges and even insurers have asked both Wendell and Michael Clancy to serve as mediators on catastrophic injury and medical malpractice cases.
A Commitment to Service
With over 75 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys have learned a thing or two about how to run a successful law firm. We've represented thousands of clients over the years and have recovered tens of millions of dollars. But we also learned a long time ago that winning alone is not what establishes and maintains your reputation as a law firm. It's how you treat your clients.
At Clancy Law, we've never wavered from our basic commitment to working closely with the people and families we represent. We see clients in the same way we would members of our own families — as elderly relatives, newborns, sons, daughters and parents. This perspective helps us stay focused on the fact that when lives are cut short and people are disabled due to the negligence of others, everyone in that person's family suffers too.
This, in turn, has helped distinguish Clancy Law as a professional, caring personal injury firm that doesn't reduce accident and injury cases to dollar figures. Instead, we insist on helping people get more than just money; we insist on helping our clients get what they need to recover and rebuild their lives. Our success is testimony to our effectiveness and to how much we care.
