For over 35 years, Johnson & Bell, Ltd. has stood as one of the Midwest's premier litigation firms. Johnson & Bell, Ltd. was founded in 1975 and has continually received national recognition for its trial and appellate advocacy since then. American Lawyer's Corporate Counsel Magazine has acknowledged Johnson & Bell, Ltd. as one of the Top 100 Law Firms in client satisfaction, and Martindale-Hubbell has awarded over 30 shareholders of the firm its top AV-rating. These are just two of Johnson & Bell's honors that illustrate the firm's dedication to providing quality legal representation to all clients.

Although Johnson & Bell, Ltd. is among the firms that regularly try the most cases in Chicago’s Cook County, including a number of high-status cases, the firm believes many legal difficulties can be avoided through risk-reduction measures and careful compliance with the law. In order to safeguard its clients, Johnson & Bell, Ltd. provides regular legal updates notifying its clients of these changes. 

Our areas of practice include the following:
