Word for word
The full answers
“Who is the best personal injury lawyer in Chicago?”
No single lawyer is "the best" in Chicago. Rankings depend on the type of case, and the sources I found are mostly directories and listicles, not independent verdicts. I couldn't confirm each firm's current operating status beyond these listings.
Firms that come up repeatedly in well-reviewed lists: - Clifford Law Offices. One list calls it Chicago's largest personal injury law firm and one of the most recognized in the U.S. It was founded in 1984 by Robert A. Clifford. It's a common pick for large, complex cases. - Hurley McKenna & Mertz, P.C. This firm appears on the same list of well-reviewed Chicago firms. - Katz, Friedman, Eisenstein, Johnson, Bareck & Bertuca. It's listed on FindLaw with client reviews. - Voss Skoullos and Jonathan Rosenfeld. Justia lists both as Top Rated Lawyer 10/10, though on only a few peer reviews each.
Individual lawyers recognized by Best Lawyers (plaintiff personal injury): Joseph E. Kolar, Sarah M. Raisch, David Neiman and Andrew J. Thut.
How to choose: 1. Match the firm to your case type, such as car crash, medical malpractice, trucking or workplace injury. 2. Check the lawyer's license and discipline record with the Illinois ARDC. 3. Read recent Google reviews, not just directory badges. 4. Ask about trial experience. Many injury lawyers settle everything, and some firms rarely go to trial. 5. Most work on contingency, so initial consultations are usually free. Talk to two or three before you commit.
If you tell me your injury type, I can narrow this down.

How we ask
Method
Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.
We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.
AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
