Anthony DeJulius

Skilled and diligent defense in a complex slip-and-fall case

I retained Anthony DeJulius after my small business was sued following a customer slip-and-fall incident. From our first meeting, his knowledge of Illinois premises liability law was evident. He clearly explained the defense strategy, drawing on his specific experience in personal injury litigation for defendants, which was a major factor in my choice. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this exact field gave me confidence. Anthony was thorough in his investigation, securing key surveillance footage and witness statements that significantly weakened the plaintiff's claim. His negotiation with the opposing counsel was firm and strategic, leading to a settlement far below the initial demand. The only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, there were a couple of instances where email responses took 2-3 business days, though his paralegal was always available for urgent matters. Overall, Anthony provided exceptional, cost-effective representation. I would highly recommend him to any business or individual facing a defensive personal injury lawsuit in the Chicago area.
