About David J. Schwaner
At the age of 31, David J. Schwaner became one of the youngest attorneys in the history of Illinois to win a gross jury verdict of over 1 million dollars. Now, after working to recover more than $30 million on behalf of clients, David is a renowned personal injury attorney on a mission to fight back against the insurance companies and get you the financial compensation you deserve.
David fell in love with Personal Injury Law — or "Torts" — while in law school and never looked back. He has spent his entire career representing the injured and in the process has helped recover many millions of dollars for the seriously injured across Chicago and Illinois.
David has maintained a 5-star review on several sites including Thumbtack, Yelp, Avvo, Facebook and Google. If you call him, expect a call back the same day. He tells all his clients after they've hired him to do one thing: focus on getting better, because he'll take care of the rest.
He is relentless in going after insurance companies and recovering money on behalf of his clients.
In David's Own Words
"I'm a people person. So, I truly enjoy getting to know and connecting with my clients. What I enjoy most about my work though is being able to provide the help and guidance my clients desperately need after their lives have been turned upside down by an injury."
When you call David, you discuss the matter on the phone and follow that up with an in-person meeting. At the meeting, you discuss the details of your matter and he looks over any documents you may have, such as the police report, hospital discharge summary and photographs. David then lays out a clear plan of action for your case and what to expect moving forward.
