About

I am a civil trial lawyer with 30 years of experience in Illinois state and federal courts.  I concentrate my practice in handling serious personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, aviation crashes, train crashes and truck/car crashes.  In four cases alone, I - along with partner Bob Baizer - obtained $78.8 million for our clients.  Those cases involved:In December 2014, I obtained a $4.8 million jury verdict in Chicago for a woman who nearly died from a post-surgery infection.  In September 2015, I obtained another seven-figure jury verdict in Waukegan for the death of a 73-year-old man at a Lake County area hospital. In both cases, the defense made no offers prior to trial.I have regularly been named an Illinois “Super Lawyer” for personal injury litigation.  I also hold an AV peer-review rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating an attorney can receive for general ethical standards and legal ability.

Joe Kolar is the best of the best. He handled my family's case and won. Great track record and great attorney. My family has a new respect for the amazing ability, knowledge, and hard work he puts into cases.

Meeting Joe, was the best thing I could have ever done for myself, after I was forever changed by the negligence of a doctor. He made me feel at peace, with knowing that someday, justice would be served for me, and he did. He is an attorney that has a wealth of knowledge that is amazing. He works very hard to make sure your interests are his interests. His staff is always so pleasant to talk to and work with as well. I could continue to praise him, but there is only one thing that really matters, he is truly a phone call you should make, if you have been hurt. He will do everything he possibly can to make sure that justice will be served.

I hired Joe Kolar four years ago. Mr. Kolar's commitment to me and my well-being has secured my future. He is intelligent, articulate, and above all effective. His experience and expertise in medical malpractice combined with his compassionate nature has been unwavering since our initial consultation. You will not find better representation than Joe Kolar.

Joe Kolar is a professional and compassionate person. His ability to communicate and comfort both myself and my son was an unexpected reassurance we both needed in a very stressful time. Joe Kolar's discretion and work ethic was what our family needed to solidfy that he would do what's best for my son.
