Cooney & Conway, founded in 1958, is a plaintiffs only firm located in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The firm currently has thirteen exceptional attorneys, all with years of successful litigation experience. The main practice area of the firm is asbestos litigation, where our attorneys serve as advocates of victims of asbestos related injuries and their families. In our years of practice, we have successfully handled large numbers of asbestos litigation cases in Illinois and throughout the United States. In northern Illinois alone, we handle approximately 90% of all mesothelioma cases.

If you are a person, or a relative of a person, who has been told that they suffer from terminal cancer that may be related to asbestos exposure, we are here to provide information, advice, and assistance . Please explore our website to learn more about our asbestos litigation practice and about asbestos related injuries.

Although asbestos litigation is the largest part of our practice, we also represent plaintiffs in the following types of actions: personal injury suits where the injuries are serious or catastrophic, transportation liability (including motor vehicle and airplane accidents), medical malpractice and professional negligence, construction liability/workplace injuries, premises liability and mass torts. For a more complete description of our secondary practice areas, please visit our Other Practice Areas page.

We believe that people who are seriously injured by the wrongful conduct of others deserve full compensation. In addition, we believe that they deserve highly qualified, experienced and ethical legal representation to assist them in achieving justice through the American legal system. We therefore strive to provide the legal expertise and judgement necessary in achieving justice for our clients who are victims of serious injury as a result of negligence and for the families of those who suffer wrongful death. Hundreds of attorneys nationwide seek our assistance in representing seriously injured clients in complex cases.

Among our many litigation victories, we recorded a $4 billion settlement against Haliburton a few years ago. For more information about some of the cases we have handled and verdicts or settlements received, please visit our Verdicts and Case Summaries page.
