Loevy & Loevy is one of the largest private law firms devoted to civil rights in the entire Midwest.

Loevy & Loevy files more police brutality and abuse lawsuits against the City of Chicago than any other firm. We also litigate an equally heavy caseload against other municipalities in the surrounding Chicagoland metropolitan area, as well as throughout Illinois and many other states.

Our law firm serves victims and their families across the state of Illinois and beyond, with a focus on protecting their civil rights. Our areas of practice include:

Our firm also handles whistleblower issues related to the Iraqi conflict, declined False Claim Act cases, and career concerns of whistleblowers.

Many of the attorneys in our firm have big-firm backgrounds, and we bring to the civil rights field an understanding and appreciation for the importance of excellence in legal advice and services. Our clients enjoy the benefits of the highest-caliber legal assistance, on par with the service available to clients at any of Chicago's largest law firms. We make client satisfaction our top priority and we are proud of the many enduring friendships we have made with clients.

Contact us to see how we can help you protect your civil rights, from police brutality and Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues to wrongful convictions and whistleblower retaliation.

LOEVY & LOEVY TRACK RECORD

Over the years, Loevy & Loevy has amassed a truly extraordinary record of success obtaining compensation and justice for our clients, both in the courtroom and through negotiation and mediation. All told, Loevy & Loevy has obtained jury verdicts totaling more than $50,000,000 over the past 10 years, plus millions more in settlements for our clients. Of the hundreds of clients we have represented over the years, the number of Loevy & Loevy clients who lost (recovered nothing) is less than 1 percent, a remarkably low figure for this area of the law.

Despite the difficulties associated with winning civil rights cases, we have won 12 out of our past 14 jury trials. Against the City of Chicago alone, the last five times we have gone to trial, the city was confident enough about its chances to offer little more than "nuisance value" to settle the cases: in the end, Loevy & Loevy obtained million-dollar-plus jury verdicts in four of these trials.

Loevy & Loevy has also developed an outstanding record in the appellate courts. The firm has litigated dozens of cases in appellate courts around the country, winning far more often than the norm for civil rights cases. Attorney Jon Loevy, for example, has won six out of his last seven arguments in the Seventh Circuit. This is an outstanding record of appellate success.

We have secured major victories for our clients against the City of Chicago, other municipalities in the Chicagoland metro area, and cities throughout Illinois and many other states.
