AN HONEST ASSESSMENT OF YOUR CASE
When potential clients contact our firm, partner Henry Simmons (Ret.) examines the facts to see how strong the case is. Why does this matter? Mr. Simmons (Ret.) is not only the managing partner of our firm, but he is also a retired judge. The insight he gained during his time as a judge allows us to offer a straightforward, honest assessment of your claim. If we do not believe your case is strong, we will not string you along. We will give you our honest, respectful opinion upfront. If we believe you have a valid claim that should be pursued, we will offer you a candid assessment of what you can expect from the legal process. If we take your case, you pay us nothing and you will never write us a check; we pay all expenses upfront and we only collect if we successfully recover compensation for you.

Dedicated To Community Service
Our commitment to serving our community goes beyond providing legal services to those who have been injured or lost loved ones. We are also a part of many community organizations, and we sponsor numerous initiatives designed to improve the lives of our friends, neighbors and fellow community members. Our lawyers pride themselves on being involved in community organizations and events, and they work hard to make our community a better place in both their professional and personal lives.

A DEPTH OF LEGAL TALENT
Our law firm is home to some of the most elite legal minds in Illinois and the United States. Our skill and experience rests not only with our most experienced lawyers, but with our younger lawyers as well. Each year, the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin recognizes 40 of the best young attorneys in the state of Illinois.

At Clifford Law Offices, we take pride in the fact that our lawyers are very well represented in this list. In fact, nine of our lawyers have been named to its "40 Under 40" list. This is just more proof that when you work with our law firm, you will be working with a strong team of lawyers from top to bottom.
