Personal Injury
ATTORNEYS IN CHICAGO SERVICING PERSONAL INJURY & WORKERS COMPENSATION CASES.
ABOUT GEORGE I. TONGAS
 

As a former Will County Assistant State’s Attorney and as a prosecutor for the Law Division of the City of Chicago, I was able to sharpen my trial skills to be able to perform under extreme pressure for the benefit of victims of both crimes and accidents.  It is this experience of conducting trials and hearings on behalf of people who have been wronged that led me to join Charles Therman & Associates, Ltd.

The Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury departments of our office are high volume operations and are constantly in motion.  Although we handle hundreds of cases at a time, each individual client is important to us.  From filing paperwork in court or at the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, to making phone calls to attorneys or adjusters, to preparing for hearing or trial, we are always for our clients.

Being injured, whether at work or in an accident, is stressful.  Let us examine your case and set your mind at ease.

I look forward to hearing from you.
