about us
Chicago Personal Injury Attorneys Who Know Your Name — Not Just Your Case Number
Twenty years of Chicago cases. A firm small enough that your file stays with Jim Coyne from the first call through the final resolution.
Built for the People Who Keep Chicago Running
We started this firm to represent working people — construction workers, truck drivers, warehouse employees, office staff — who get hurt and suddenly find themselves navigating a system that wasn't designed to make things easy for them. Insurance companies have lawyers. Employers have lawyers. You should too.
For more than 20 years, we've been doing exactly that. Not in a high-rise office tower with a hundred attorneys and an intake coordinator who'll hand your file to someone you've never met. In a boutique Chicago practice where you talk to Jim Coyne, work with Jim Coyne, and hear directly from Jim Coyne when something happens in your case.
That's not a marketing line. It's how we're structured — and it's the reason clients come back when someone they know gets hurt.
Jim Coyne — Attorney, Chicago Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation
Jim Coyne has practiced personal injury and workers' compensation law in Illinois for over 20 years. He is licensed in Illinois and has litigated cases in Cook County and Will County courts throughout his career.
His practice covers the full range of personal injury matters — car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, construction accidents, and slip and fall injuries — as well as workers' compensation claims for employees injured on the job. He handles both negotiated settlements and courtroom litigation, and he has taken cases to verdict when insurance companies refused to offer fair value.
A partial record of results:
- $1,850,000 — Product liability
- $1,760,000 — Auto accident
- $565,000 — Truck accident
- $500,000 — Workers' compensation
These aren't the outliers we cherry-picked to look impressive. They represent the kind of cases we take and the standard we hold ourselves to
What "Boutique Firm" Actually Means for Your Case
Large personal injury firms in Chicago run volume. Cases come in, get assigned to associates, get managed by paralegals, and get resolved — often for less than they're worth — because no one has the time to fight for every file. If your case isn't a clear seven-figure matter, you may not be a priority.
That's not how we operate.
At Coyne Reinke Law, your case is handled by Jim Coyne. Not delegated. Not handed off after the intake meeting. Jim reviews your records, communicates with the insurance adjuster, prepares your file for litigation if it comes to that, and is available when you have questions. The firm is intentionally small because that's the only way to do the work right.
Boutique doesn't mean limited. It means focused.=
