I found the law practice of what was at the time, Turcy and Chute, to be very efficient, knowledgeable and committed in the specialty of Personal Injury Law. As a recipient of their guidance and perseverance, I was very pleased with their communication, explanations and the ultimate positive verdict. For over three years, Tom Chute and staff shared their professionalism, belief and expertise in my case. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
Mike took care of my case and I’m thankful for all of the help, time, and effort he put forth for me. Any time I had questions, Mike was always there to answer and then answer them again if I needed further clarification. Nobody really wants to be put in this position and dealing with a process like mine, but if you absolutely have to, go with him.
I had the pleasure of working with attorney Tom Grace on my deceased father’s personal injury case. Tom was very prompt in all of his communications, he never left us guessing what was going on or where we were in the process, he offered up his honest opinion when it was decision making time and lastly he ensured this case wasn’t dragged out. I would highly appreciate his customer service and would absolutely recommend Tom Grace and the Chute, O’Malley, Knobloch & Turcy team.
AMAZING! I highly recommend this group. We had quite an unusual case, this group was our only glimmer of hope when our options were limited and no one would accept a complicated case. We worked closely with Colin O’Malley and his team. Words cannot do justice to how wonderful they are; highly competent, professional, very responsive, thorough and friendly. Colin went above and beyond to make himself available and to answer all our questions and concerns. If you need an excellent proficient injury lawyer that would fight for you, look no further!
Tom Grace is an amazing attorney. I highly recommend him, he was very professional, caring, and very detailed when explaining the status of my case. I was very pleased with my settlement especially during a time like this with this cover-19 going on. He managed to get things done in a timely manner and always kept me in the wraps with my case. Thank You so very much! I really appreciated it. If anyone needs a lawyer, Tom Grace is the guy to go to. Very good job!
Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex and hard-fought claims in Illinois law. If you were harmed by a doctor’s mistake or a hospital’s negligence, the outcome of your case will hinge on one thing: choosing the best medical malpractice lawyer.
Not all attorneys have the experience—or the resources—to stand up to hospitals, insurers, and medical defense teams. At Chute, O’Malley, Knobloch & Turcy, we help victims in Naperville and throughout DuPage County pursue the compensation they deserve after preventable medical harm.
Before you hire a lawyer, here’s what to look for—and what to avoid.
Medical providers and hospitals don’t hand out settlements easily. You’ll need to prove what went wrong, how the provider violated the standard of care, and how that mistake directly caused your injury or loss. This often requires expert medical witnesses, extensive records, and aggressive legal strategy.
The lawyer you choose will impact:
In short, the outcome of your case depends heavily on your choice of legal representation.
Experience, reputation, and communication style all matter when you’re choosing a lawyer for any type of case. In medical malpractice cases, however, some credentials are non-negotiable.
Look for a lawyer who has handled healthcare negligence cases like yours—whether it involves a surgical error, misdiagnosis, birth injury, medication mistake, or anesthesia complication. Medical malpractice is its own legal world, and general personal injury experience isn’t always enough.
Has the attorney secured meaningful results in complex or high-value medical negligence cases? Ask about past verdicts or settlements. A strong track record is a good sign that they know how to build a case that gets results.
Winning a malpractice case in Illinois requires expert opinions from licensed physicians who can testify about how your care fell short. An experienced malpractice lawyer near you will already have relationships with credible experts in multiple specialties.
Your lawyer should explain the legal process, answer your questions, and keep you updated without making you chase them down. If a firm is hard to reach before you hire them, they’ll likely be worse once the case begins.
Most top medical malpractice attorneys in Illinois—including ours—work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. If a lawyer asks for a large retainer or charges by the hour in a malpractice case, that’s a red flag.
Don’t be afraid to interview more than one attorney in your area. Ask questions like:
If the attorney can’t give you clear, confident answers—or avoids your questions entirely—keep looking.
