About Howard Ankin

At Ankin Law, we treat every case like it’s the most important case at our firm. That’s because we know it’s the most important case to the client. I lead a team of 75 attorneys and staff to represent, advocate and guide clients through the complex legal process. Due to the trauma many clients face, we create an environment of empathy, care and friendship to allow clients and their families to heal. This approach provides a holistic legal review of each case to maximize the financial, physical, and mental recovery from unexpected harm. We focus exclusively on protecting the rights of injured people throughout Chicago and Illinois. Our lawyers represent people in personal injury, motor vehicle, medical malpractice, mass torts, premises liability, and workers’ compensation matters. We also drive results with an expert field of investigators, medical doctors, nurses, and forensic specialists to ensure clients receive the care they need and are fairly compensated for their injuries. And I never collect a fee unless the client does. At Ankin Law, I ensure that everybody experiences our tagline – Injury Law Made Personal.
