About
I was born and raised in Kankakee, Illinois and knew from a young age I wanted to be an attorney. Studying the constitution and history in grade school, I was drawn to the law and spent parts of my summer vacations watching trials in the Kankakee County Courthouse. After 16 years of practicing law in Chicago, l returned to my local roots and joined Spiros Law in 2015. The personal satisfaction I have gained from helping injured persons and their families and a desire to help members of my own community and beyond, prompted me to bring my skills as an experienced courtroom lawyer back to Kankakee County, where I live with my wife and three children. I am based in our firm's Kankakee office, but proud to be part of the Spiros team serving clients from our offices in Champaign and Danville, Illinois as well.My career has included 12 years (seven as a partner) at a national law firm in Chicago, where I handled a wide variety of complex litigation matters, including personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. My cases have involved catastrophic occurrences including industrial accidents, electrocutions, auto/trucking accidents, fires, explosions, and building collapse. My experience representing personal injury plaintiffs has included working with my former partner to successfully obtain a $5 million verdict for a 13-year-old girl who lost her parents and infant brother when they were killed in an accident with a tractor-trailer on a Georgia highway. This was believed to be the largest wrongful death verdict in Dalton County, Georgia at that time. I have also obtained favorable settlements for clients in cases involving a fatal helicopter crash and motor vehicle accidents.I love the courtroom and I am a fierce advocate for my clients. I have been involved in more than 30 trials and more than 100 arbitrations and mediations. I am licensed to practice in Illinois, as well as before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Central Districts of Illinois, the Northern District of Indiana and the Eastern District of Wisconsin. I have appeared in state courts in Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin.My life is not all about the law. I believe in being active in the community where I live and work. I serve on the finance committee for Bishop McNamara Catholic School in Kankakee and am past president of the school's board of directors. I am a past member and vice chairman of the Kankakee County Historic Preservation Commission, and I was co-chairman of Kankakee County Courthouse Centennial Celebration in 2009. I am an active member of St. Patrick’s Church in Kankakee, where I serve as a Eucharistic Minister, and past co-chairman of the church’s 2014-2015 Capital Campaign Committee. I am a member of Knights of Columbus Council 745 in Kankakee. I have also enjoyed serving as a coach for my childrens' youth baseball, softball and soccer teams.Outside of practicing law, I spend my time enjoying my biggest achievement: my family -- an amazing wife and three great kids.

I highly reccomend Mr. Purcell. He is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer who will work hard for you. He is always willing to answer any questions you may have and explains everything to you thoroughly.
I was injured on the job, never had anything happened like this in my life. I jumped through all the hoops a company can make you do. In the end it was suffering on top of suffering and finally surgery. I was very reluctant to seek legal help, didn't know if I was entitled to compensation in the matter. I can't express enough how happy I was I made the call to Spiros Law. Even during this time of pandemic they made everything a piece of cake. Mr Purcell is highly professional, extremely law knowledgeable and overall a very freindly and down to earth person. He helped me in my case 100%. In the end like I said if you are unsure about legal injury help please don't hesitate and call for Andrew Purcell. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and thank you again personally.
Mr. Purcell was very impressive in the handling of my case. I suffered a nasty fall in a restaurant resulting in limited use of my right arm & shoulder & a steel plate in my elbow. Mr. Purcell handled the case in an efficient & professional manner which resulted in a settlement which was satisfactory to all parties involved. He kept us informed during the entire process & was available every step of the way.
I am so grateful I found Spiros Law firm. My case was difficult but they never gave up. They kept fighting and negotiating to get me the most. They were patient with me and empathetic even during the times I became frustrated. They were easily accessible and available. I was always kept informed in the process of my case which put my mind at ease. Great Team!!! Thank you Andrew Purcell..
