He began his legal career in the area of criminal law and served as a supervising attorney in the Cook County, State Attorneys Office, Criminal Division.

In litigating personal injury matters, John covers a broad spectrum of personal injury cases, including car accidents, construction accidents/injuries, aviation accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, workers compensation, traumatic brain injury, and many other categories of personal injury. With over 20 years of extensive trial experience, he has achieved a 97% success rate in litigating lawsuits to verdict and settlement.
A thorough knowledge of medical conditions relating to personal injury, in-depth case evaluation, combined with detailed examination and preparation of evidence have enabled John to successfully resolve personal injury cases that involve considerable value and complexity. His effective skills in courtroom trial work, mediation, and arbitration have earned respect from adversaries as well as other attorneys who are his peers. The results Budin Law Offices have attained for their clients speak for themselves.

At the Budin Law Firm, we provide our clients with the personal attention they deserve. All calls are returned within 24 hours. Everyone on our staff has legal training to at least the level of paralegal. We take the time to answer clients' questions and make them comfortable with the legal process, from presenting claims to the insurance company, to filing suit, through discovery and trial. Our extensive understanding of medicine and medical conditions allows us to present the gravity and full value of a personal injury claim to insurers, or to a jury. We do not wait to file lawsuits on serious injury/wrongful death cases. Our ability to comprehend and explain our client's personal injury is a reflection of our grasp of medicine and legal expertise.
We firmly believe, and it is our policy, that victims of negligence should receive the majority of monetary compensation generated from their case. Whether it is a small $5,000.00 workers compensation claim or a $5,000,000,00 car/truck collision we will always reduce our contingency fee to insure that our clients receive the majority of money awarded for their injuries. Additionally, we never increase our fees if we must litigate before your claim is concluded, And for no charge, we reduce, which is often possible, and pay off in full, your outstanding medical bills and always clear up your credit for you. Your case is never settled without your written approval. Because we rely on referrals from both past clients and attorneys, we ensure that our clients are more than satisfied at the conclusion of their case. Then again, when you enjoy what you do, you tend to do it well-and we do! While many of our clients are seriously injured, we make the processing of each claim as stress free as possible.
