About Shapiro, Cohen & Basinger Trial Lawyers

Shapiro, Cohen & Basinger Trial Lawyers was established in 1978 and is one of Chicago’s leading firms in personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Our firm is committed to fighting for individuals and families who have suffered severe harm.

With more than four decades of courtroom experience, our lawyers are genuine trial lawyers and never accept quick, discounted payments from insurance companies.

Unlike large settlement mills, we promise to assign each client a senior partner from the start — never a junior associate or paralegal. We blend kind, personal communication with vigorous courtroom advocacy to achieve the greatest possible financial recovery for our clients. Learn more about our attorneys at the links below:
