McCreadyLaw Injury Attorneys

What McCreadyLaw Injury Attorneys does

McCreadyLaw Injury Attorneys is a privately held personal injury law firm founded in 1999 by Managing Partner Michael P. McCready and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The firm provides legal representation to individuals injured by the negligence of others, with a practice surface spanning motor vehicle, premises liability, workers' compensation (both Illinois state and federal/FECA), catastrophic injury, product liability, dog bite, wrongful death, nursing home abuse, FLSA, boat/bicycle/bus/CTA, and mass tort matters. It serves consumers across the Midwest, with the firm explicitly licensing its attorneys in IL, IN, MN, VA, AZ, WI, MI, and federal courts including the U.S. Supreme Court.

The firm operates 10 physical offices across 7 states (Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin) and supports a multi-channel direct-to-consumer acquisition motion including a content blog, paid search, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram), community sponsorships, scholarship programs, and Google reviews. It also runs a formal attorney referral program that ingests personal injury, workers' compensation, and social security disability cases from referring counsel in additional jurisdictions. Revenue is generated exclusively through contingency fee arrangements on settlements and verdicts, with no fees charged unless the firm wins. The firm has recovered over $500 million cumulatively for clients and assisted more than 30,000 clients over the past decade, supported by 25+ attorneys and a full operational C-suite.

Operationally, the firm is led by founder Michael P. McCready (practicing since 1992), with a February 2026 leadership expansion adding Donald R. McGarrah as partner (35+ year veteran trial lawyer). The firm carries Martindale-Hubbell AV, BBB A+, Super Lawyers, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Avvo credentials, and maintains 600+ five-star Google reviews. Technology infrastructure is described as general legal-practice tooling, with the firm also engaging in consulting on automation and AI applications for other personal injury firms — a positioning that is advisory rather than productized.
