What Makes Abels & Annes, P.C. a Top Law Firm in Chicago?

When someone is hurt in a city as vast and dynamic as Chicago, they’re not just looking for legal advice; they’re looking for someone who will listen, who will fight, and who will carry some of that burden for them.

That’s where a firm like Abels & Annes, P.C., truly stands out. For over 15 years, our firm has built a reputation that reaches far beyond the boundaries of Cook County.

Founded in 2008 by seasoned personal injury attorneys David Abels and Gary Annes, the firm was born out of a vision: to fight aggressively and compassionately for the rights of the injured.

David Abels, whose legal journey began in the 1990s, didn’t walk a straight path to personal injury law. His early years included criminal defense work and a position at the Henry County State’s Attorney’s Office, where he gained invaluable courtroom experience.

But it was his deep desire to help real people in some of their most difficult moments that led him to personal injury law, and ultimately to form this powerful legal partnership with Gary Annes.

Together, the partners have assembled a legal team that has successfully recovered millions of dollars for clients across Illinois.

Why We’re One of Chicago’s Leading Law Firms

Here are some of the reasons we’re proud to call ourselves the leading top firms in Chicago.

Proven results and respected recognition

We’re proud of the work we do, but don’t just take our word for it. Our track record includes multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts, and we’ve been featured in major publications like the Washington Post, Huffington Post, Miami Herald, and San Francisco Chronicle.

Both of our founders, David Abels and Gary Annes, hold perfect 10.0 ratings on Avvo. Dave has been named to the Super Lawyers list multiple times and was selected to the Top 100 Lawyers list by SuperLawyers and Thomson Reuters, a recognition that places him among the top one-tenth of one percent of Illinois attorneys. Our firm also maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

What’s more, we’ve built a reputation that goes beyond courtrooms. Our name has been trusted by news networks, legal peers, and, most importantly, by the people we’ve helped. Many of our new clients come from referrals, old clients, or associates who were happy with the outcomes of their own cases and wanted to recommend us to their family and friends.

No fee unless you win

Our clients come to us during the most vulnerable chapters of their lives. Some were victims of car accidents, some happen to be pedestrian accident victims. There are also some whose loved ones suffer due to nursing home neglect.

With a strict "No Fee Unless You Win" policy and free consultations available 24/7, we make sure justice is accessible to everyone who needs it, regardless of their financial situation.

Direct access to lead attorneys

While other firms may rush through your case or assign it to junior staff, we believe every client deserves personal attention from seasoned professionals. Our attorneys take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and keep you informed every step of the way. 

We treat every client with the same respect and care we’d want for our own family, because to us, this is personal.
