About the firm

A local firm with the depth to take on anyone

SWP Law Firm began as a two-lawyer practice on Maplewood Lane. Today our fourteen attorneys handle complex litigation across Illinois, yet every client still gets a direct line to the lawyer running their case.

We prepare every matter as if it will go to trial. That discipline is why insurers and opposing counsel take our settlement demands seriously, and why most of our clients never need to see a courtroom.

  • Free, confidential first meeting
  • Calls returned within one business day
  • Clear, written fee agreements
  • Home and hospital visits available

Why clients choose us

Big-firm resources, small-firm attention

You should never have to wonder what is happening with your case. Here is what you can expect from the day you hire us.

  • One lawyer, start to finish

    The attorney you meet is the attorney who handles your case, not a rotating team of assistants.

  • Honest case assessments

    If your claim is weak, we say so. If it is strong, we push for every dollar it is worth.

  • Proven in the courtroom

    More than 300 jury trials give us leverage that shows up at the negotiating table.

Client stories

In their own words

4.9Average of 600+ verified client reviews

  • After my accident the insurance company offered almost nothing. Daniel's team documented everything and the final settlement covered my surgery and nine months of lost wages.
    Robert M.Personal injury client
  • Margaret kept a painful custody process calm and focused on my kids. She answered every late-night email and never once made me feel rushed.
    Laura T.Family law client
  • When a supplier walked away from a signed contract, James recovered our losses without a drawn-out lawsuit. We now use SWP for every agreement we sign.
    Kevin P.Owner, Prairie Supply Co.
  • I was terrified after my arrest. Sofia called me back within the hour, explained every step and the charge was reduced before trial.
    Marcus D.Criminal defense client
  • Our estate plan felt overwhelming until the SWP team broke it into simple decisions. Everything was signed in two meetings.
