About

I have deep roots in downstate Illinois--just take a look at my garden.  Before I was a lawyer I cooked for a living for 12 years, and I've found that no amount of cooking skills can substitute for produce picked right from your back yard.  Central Illinois has amazing soil and a long but tricky growing season (I've lost tomato pepper plants to frost in June.)  I've lived in Illinois since 1975, graduated from with two degrees from the University of Illinois, and two of my three children were born here, so my personal roots are deep here, too!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carl. He has been my Work Comp. attorney since 2009-2010 and worked on my case diligently to get to arbitration in order to keep my medical rights open (after sustaining a severe arm injury and subsequent surgeries beginning in 2005.) Since arbitration, there have been a handful of times over the years where I have needed additional help and support in getting the continued and subsequent medical care I need and to which I am entitled. He has and continues to be nothing but extremely kind, patient, helpful and caring. He is also no-nonsense in his responses to my former employer and their Work Comp. insurance provider, and extremely professional in all interactions. He always takes care of things in a timely (and often very fast) manner, and is honestly just one of the most genuinely personable and caring attorneys I have ever met. I could not continue to “fight” this seemingly never ending battle as a result of my original injury and subsequent surgeries and procedures without him. I honestly would be lost without him. Know that if you value compassion, respect, and kindness, along with someone who gets things done, Carl should be your attorney. No question. Of course my hope is always that I don’t have to continue this fight; but when I need someone in my corner, he is always there.

When I needed an Atty for my injury at work, I only relied to all the reviews on this site. And when I met Atty. Carl Reisman, I told him my deciding factor why I chose him to represent me, it's because of the amazing reviews. I had an injury and a personal problem at the same time and he even told me not to think of paying his service at all. But I told him, regardless of my personal situation, he is entitled with his share. That alone, I can tell how compassionate he is as a person. He sent me text messages updating me about the progress of the case. He is respectful. honest and easy to talk to...he worked hard also and was able to get the best result. There's no doubt that he is loved by his clients and I am one of them. Thank you so much Atty. Carl Reisman! You are the BEST! God Bless you always.

I hired Mr. Reissman after I was in a car accident. He was always available, patient and understanding. He was respectful to both parties, kind and considerate. We won the case without having to go to court. He is a wonderful attorney!

From the moment I met Carl I knew I could trust him. He immediately made me feel as if I was consulting with a friend and not an attorney. Carl explained to me in detail my rights and gave me an idea of what I could expect should I choose to move forward with him. From day one, he made it clear he was going to do everything he could for me. He was in immediate contact with the insurance company, and was very thorough when explaining to me what was happening with the case. He gave excellent advice, and he was always available to take my call or respond to an email. I knew I had little to worry about with Carl on my side, and trusted his advice throughout the entire process. His knowledge and experience of worker's compensation and personal injury (as well as applicable state laws) was incredible. Carl never made false promises so I knew exactly what to expect. I could not have been happier with my experience with Mr. Reisman, and would very strongly recommend him to anyone needing legal advice or representation. I found Carl here on Avvo, and every rating of him was spot on. He is an excellent attorney who cares about his clients on a personal level. He regularly contacted me after my surgery to see how I was doing, and made himself available whenever I needed him. If you need someone who is going to treat you as an individual and not just a case numer, look no further. In my personal opinion, Carl is a dedicated attorney with thorough knowledge of his field. He settled my case as quickly as possible, and I could not be happier. I brought my entire family to our final meeting to thank Carl for all he had done for us in a difficult and exhausting time. Thank you Carl, for all you did for me and my family. You are a true professional in every sense of the word, and I could not recommend anyone in higher regard.

Carl''s expertise in his field allows him to give his clients the advise and guidance that they will not find anywhere else. If you are looking for an attorney while dealing witn an injury you need to know that the person representing you is the best. I would highly recommed Carl.

Carl is excellent and has been very patient with me and my case. I think alot of large firms would have dropped me or not.even taken my case because of the amount of time and patience it takes. Lucky for me, he did take it and he is working and waiting right along with me. He calms me, which is why I hired him, because I get angry and.irrational when dealing with my now ex-employer, and obviously they took me much more seriously when I retained him. He responds to my emails or calls 24 hours a day so I get answers to my burning questions fast and before I make an irrational decision or one that could potentially hurt my case if I do something outside of the boundaries. I highly recommend him to help, whether simple or complex, he will work 110% for you if you retain him (if he feels as though he can help you). He is also a specialist and expert in the area of law he practices, so he's not a one stop shop where the person knows a little of everything and not alot about anything, Carl know a little of everything and alot of the specialty area he practices is in..... which is obviously better for me as a client. My case is ongoing so I am writing this as a satisfied client up to this time.

I cannot emphasize strong enough how professional Mr. Reisman was in handling my auto accident case. He was thorough and worked in a timely manner. There were several parties involved--insurance companies, doctors, hospitals, physical therapists, etc. The accident also involved three states due to where the accident occurred and where treatment was received. The case was complex to say the least. Mr. Reisman kept me apprised of my case at all junctures. He "translated" the legal jargon so that it could be understood by me, while still including the necessary details. He always returned phone calls and emails--bottom line--he was there for me.

Carl Reisman always impresses me with how well he listens, with great patience and understanding. He stays calm, explains things clearly, and takes action. I always felt Carl was on my side, but he is fair-minded and doesn't make false promises. He was a great help to me after I was injured at a business that had a down-sloping sidewalk with no handrail or light and a drain from the roof that went right onto the sidewalk, allowing it to get icy. When presenting me my settlement award, Carl gave me excellent advice about using it to take care of myself and my injury which will be with me the rest of my life. Carl Reisman offers wise counsel.

Carl is a total professional who treats clients not only as his legal responsibility, but first and foremost as people deserving of his utmost diligence and respect. If you need Carl's help, you no doubt are in an unfortunate situation. My experience informs me that Carl will only make it better.
