What Abels & Annes, P.C. does

Abels & Annes, P.C. is a privately held, partner-owned personal injury law firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The firm exclusively represents injured individuals and families in personal injury, accident, and wrongful death matters, with documented practice areas spanning car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare, sexual abuse, nursing home abuse, premises liability, and wrongful death cases across more than 100 injury claim types. Service is delivered through three physical offices (Chicago downtown, Chicago Jefferson Park, and Evanston) covering six Illinois counties (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, and Winnebago), with 24/7 free consultations available via phone, text, and online contact forms in English, Spanish, and Polish.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless the firm secures a recovery; the firm collects a percentage of the settlement or jury award as compensation. Marketing and client acquisition rely on a multi-channel direct-to-consumer approach: SEO-optimized practice area pages, a blog with legal guidance content, embedded YouTube client testimonials, and prominent display of credibility assets (BBB A+, Avvo 10.0, Super Lawyers Top 100, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, Million Dollar Advocates Forum membership). The reported case results include a $6M bike accident settlement, $4.5M premises liability, $3.2M sex abuse, $3.15M priest abuse, $3M motorcycle, and $2.75M auto accident, among more than twenty other six- and seven-figure outcomes.

The firm is staffed by two named partners (David Abels and Gary Annes) and three associate attorneys (Eric Hults, Connor Quinn, Roman Drewniak), with a published headcount of 1-10 employees. No external investment, private equity backing, or parent company ownership is indicated. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard case management and evidence gathering capabilities; no AI/ML capabilities, proprietary platforms, or external integrations are disclosed. The firm is privately held (P.C. designation under Illinois law) and does not disclose financial figures.
