It is this combination of education and experience that equips a lawyer to truly advocate for injured individuals.

- Compensation for Suffering: Advocating for the compensation you deserve for the trauma of the accident and the lasting impact of your injuries.
My Qualifications and Experience
Specialized Training: I have undergone specialized training as a Personal Injury Lawyer, including:

- Attending the exclusive KTI "The Edge" Trial Lawyers College.
Extensive Case Experience: I have handled thousands of injury cases across various situations.

My Commitment to You
I chose this path for one reason: to ensure YOU receive the best possible outcome in your case. My goal is to secure every dollar the law allows, no matter the circumstances of your injury.
There is one particular injury lawyer I'd like you to call. I'll let you guess who that it. (Yes, that's my sense of humor creeping in.)

Neck Injury
These can be some of the most painful, long term and frustrating consequences of a large corporation’s negligence. They can range from temporary whiplash all the way up to the need for serious neck injections, surgery, and can even result in permanent injury and paralysis. And the thing is, in the beginning, a neck injury can seem like it might go away. I tell people who get hurt with a neck injury two things: first, see a doctor; next, talk to a Chicago injury attorney for a free consultation.
Back Injury
Chronic back pain affects everything you do, from sitting, standing, walking, and even sleeping. It truly changes how you do everything in your life. But insurance companies are pros at convincing a Jury that your back injury is no big deal. You deserve an expert on your side to make sure that neither the Insurance Company nor the Jury takes YOUR back injury lightly. After all, chronic back injury is one of the most common permanent injuries Americans have.
Serious Injury and Death
Crippling or killing your loved one is something that is unforgivable to most. Your best bet is to hire a Chicago personal injury attorney with compassion, experience, and willingness to help you and your family through the trauma of a lifetime. You do not have to do this by yourself. We can help.
Shoulder Injuries
You never realize how much you use both hands then when you have a shoulder injury. Not being to lift your arm or use your hand while dressing, working or caring for children introduces you to a new world of frustration. From torn rotator cuffs to nagging sprains to broken bones, a good Chicago injury lawyer knows how to help you. Feel free to give us a ring or send an email.
Pedestrian Accident
The human body is not meant to withstand an impact with a car, truck, motorcycle, or even bicycle. These are some of the most dangerous kinds of crashes for people who are hit in a pedestrian accident. These injuries can sometimes be minor but are often quite serious. Educate yourself if you or a loved one has been hurt in a pedestrian injury where they got hit by a car.
Emotional or Psychiatric Injuries
While such injuries have become more accepted, handling cases with these injuries are delicate. The lawyer must balance protecting the client from further harm with having to prove the case. Early preparation is key, and only a Chicago injury lawyer with compassion and experience can give you your best shot. Some jurors are sure to be skeptical, so you need to put your best foot forward and retain a lawyer in Chicago with the skills to handle this.
Brain Injury/TBI
The brain is truly the seat of our souls. A blow to the head, or even a violent movement of the body, can cause brain trauma in what is called a ‘coup-counter-coup’ injury. Sometimes, there is very little evidence on MRI, and sometimes, a blow to the head can result in a subdural hematoma or a skull fracture. No matter the kind of brain injury your doctor has diagnosed, you need a lawyer who will take it seriously and do the work to prove it for you.

Why Hire DeSalvo As Your Personal Injury Lawyer?
When I was 9 years old, my father, a Truck Driver and a Teamster, was severely hurt at work. He was still a young man at the time. But that injury took everything from him. The injuries to his neck, back and spine were permanent and they changed his life forever. He was never the same.
After being hurt, he hired the wrong personal injury law firm to handle his case. They were rude to him, didn’t explain things, and did not pursue his third party case — leaving money on the table without explaining it to him. His case went on for 17 years, and it ended in a fee dispute with his old personal injury lawyer. The injury lawyer wanted more of my father’s settlement money. (Find out more here.)
Chicago Injury Lawyer Dedicated to Victims of Personal Injury
We grew up poor, once my Father could no longer work. My father had to wait 17 years for his case to end.
So I worked during high school and put myself through college and law school so that what happened to my family NEVER happens to YOU or YOUR FAMILY. And I have dedicated my personal injury law firm to helping normal people like me, my family, and YOU, and YOUR FAMILY, so victims of personal injury do not get worked over by the legal system, rich insurance companies and lawyers who only think of themselves.
Chicago Injury Lawyer Promise: Your Fight is My Fight
I only represent injured people, NEVER Defense or Insurance companies, and I even take the tougher cases other lawyers turn their noses up at. That’s because I have not just dedicated my injury law firm, but my very life, to representing injured people who otherwise would be acting without the information and help they need after being hurt at work, in a car crash, or no matter how they suffered an injury.
I spend thousands of dollars and dozens of hours every year, (more than any other lawyer I know, and far more than I am required to) flying across the country, learning the latest trial and case strategy techniques with one goal in mind: doing whatever it takes to give you the best legal representation you can find anywhere.
And check out my reviews. My personal injury clients know that I treat everyone with respect and take the time to make sure your concerns are addressed every step of the way after an injury. I am so committed to helping and educating people who have suffered personal injury that I wrote an “Injury Book and DVD“ entitled “The Five Secrets of Injury and Accident Cases” which explains and shows you how personal injury cases work, and I give it away FOR FREE to anyone who wants it, at my expense.
Your fight is my fight. You can count on my team to help you in your time of need. We can help you seek the compensation you deserve. I will fight for your rights.

Many people search for a personal injury lawyers near them, thinking proximity will make things easier. It’s understandable—having a lawyer close by seems convenient, right?
While location is important, we live in a digital age where much of our work can be done online, via email, over the phone, or through Zoom meetings. Personal injury law is no exception.
You don’t need to be tech-savvy to work with me. Whether you prefer in-person meetings, phone calls, or email, I’m here to accommodate your needs and make the process as smooth as possible.
My office is conveniently located at 200 N LaSalle Street in Chicago, Illinois. This area, known as "Lawyer's Row," is home to many of Chicago’s top personal injury lawyers. Whether you want to meet in person or handle things remotely, I’m here to help you every step of the way.
My office is across the street from the Workers Compensation Commission and the Courthouse. That's because although we settle about 90% of our cases quickly for our clients, we also go to Court.
You are going to want a lawyer who the insurance companies know can afford the expensive rent downtown. And who is ready, willing and able to fight and go to Court on your injury case if there are any problems.
Of course, I visit my clients all over Chicago and the suburbs. We can meet at your home or at a local restaurant. Really, anywhere you feel comfortable.
It is a good idea to talk to one of the best personal injury lawyers who have offices downtown.
If I can answer any questions, I am happy to do it for free.
There are many reasons to hire me. First and foremost, I’m here to fight for you. You might be wondering, how much does a personal injury lawyer cost? The good news is that as an affordable Chicago personal injury lawyer, I ensure you don’t have to worry about upfront costs. I win nearly all the cases I take on, so there’s no risk in hiring me.
The best part of thinking about talking to a personal injury attorney is that it is free. Consultations with me are always free.
I also make it relaxed and zero pressure. I never chase clients. I never hustle and harass people. We talk like friends.
Hiring a lawyer is your choice, and you should always work with the best personal injury lawyer who you like and trust. Never go with the high sales guys.
They might be desperate for a case. And if they put pressure on you or act like a jerk, is that the lawyer you want to work with?
Even better news: personal injury lawyers work on a 'contingency fee'. That means there is no charge until we win your case.
I win virtually all of my cases, but in case we do not, you do not pay me a penny. If I do not win your case, you do not pay me any attorney fee at all.
In Workers Comp cases, my fee is the State set 20% and in Personal Injury cases it is between 33 1/3% or 40% if we have to go to Court or trial. These are standard rates. Medical Malpractice cases are set at 33 1/3%.
I even advance case costs. In other words, the cost of getting your medical records, the cost of filing a law suit or paying your doctors for their depositions. Things like that.
All of that is advanced by me. This way, you never have any put of pocket costs to work with a personal injury lawyer.
In fact, you never pay out of pocket. I only get paid if you get paid first.
Pretty good deal, right?
There is one particular injury lawyer I'd like you to call. I'll let you guess who that it. (Yes, that's my sense of humor creeping in.)
