JJ Legal

What JJ Legal does

JJ Legal, doing business as JJ Legal Injury Lawyers, is a privately held personal injury law firm founded by lead attorney John J. Driscoll and headquartered at 401 N Michigan Ave in Chicago, Illinois. The firm operates additional offices in St. Louis, Missouri and San Juan, Puerto Rico through an affiliated entity, The Driscoll Firm, LLC, all ultimately owned by Driscoll. It serves individuals who have suffered injuries due to third-party negligence, with practice areas spanning motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, bus, rideshare, boat, pedestrian), catastrophic injuries (brain, spinal cord, paralysis, amputation), medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability, workers' compensation, wrongful death, and class actions/mass torts.

The firm offers legal representation on a contingency fee basis — clients pay no upfront costs and the firm is compensated only if it wins — with free consultations as the primary acquisition mechanism. Its go-to-market combines traditional plaintiff-side field sales with a multi-channel marketing approach that includes an extensive SEO-optimized blog, earned media coverage on national outlets (NBC, ESPN, CBS, Fox, ABC News, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Law.com), video testimonials, and client referrals. Distribution is direct via telephone (312-200-2000, 855-640-6612) and online contact forms.

Cumulative reported client outcomes exceed $1 billion in judgments and settlements since 2003 across more than 10,000 clients, anchored by marquee matters including a $299 million judgment for U.S. service members injured in Iraq, a $273 million judgment in Pennington v. Islamic Republic of Iran, an $87 million RICO class action settlement, a $55 million weed killer exposure settlement, a $50 million McDonald's employment-privacy settlement, and multiple multi-million-dollar medical device and pharmaceutical settlements. The firm has no disclosed technology platform, no external funding, and no parent company; it operates as a founder-controlled legal practice.
