Hess Injury Law Firm – About Us
The story of our law firm is inseparable from that of its founder, Matt Hess.
Matt Hess has handled thousands of insurance claims and hundreds of lawsuits over the past sixteen years. Before becoming an attorney, he worked for one of the nation’s largest multi-line insurance carriers, where he learned how poorly insurance companies treat the victims of their insured’s negligence. He also learned how to beat them at their own game.
Matt has won numerous awards and accolades for trial advocacy and alternative dispute resolution and is a 2017-2023 “Super Lawyer” and “Rising Star” as awarded by Super Lawyers magazine.
He firmly believes that being an attorney is a privilege that comes with great responsibility, which is why he has provided countless hours of free (pro-bono) legal service through the Northwest Suburban Bar Association and served as the Pro-Bono Committee Chairman for over four years.
Matt is a resident of Hoffman Estates and has lived there for over 41 years. He is often at Fabbrini Park with his wife and daughters.
Our Philosophy
As a firm, we believe in treating our clients the way that we would want to be treated. We understand that being injured in an accident can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Our goal is to relieve the burden on our clients so that they can focus on what’s important – their health and recovery.
We also believe that every case is unique and deserves to be treated as such. We take the time to get to know each of our clients and their individual needs to tailor our representation accordingly.
Our Track Record
We are proud to have recovered millions of dollars for our clients over the years. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome for any particular case, we can promise that we will fight tirelessly on our clients’ behalf to get them the compensation they deserve.
Client testimonials and case verdicts speak for themselves. We invite you to read what our past clients have said about us and look at some of our recent case results.
Local Experience Means Optimal Results
Insurance companies have attorneys and adjusters working in their local Illinois offices who know the local landscape, the local players, and, most importantly – the local jury pool. This is why it’s so important to have an attorney who is just as familiar with the area.
As a lifelong resident of the Northwest suburbs, Matt Hess knows the local landscape and has the connections necessary to level the playing field against the big insurance companies.
