About Colleen

Colleen Murphy has focused her practice since 1995 on plaintiff’s personal injury litigation, including motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, product’s liability, premises liability and worker’s compensation. She initially started her career defending insurance companies, hospitals and doctors, but soon realized that she desired to represent the clients that were injured as a result of these accidents, not defending the wrong doer.

Colleen Murphy has compiled a record of staggering accomplishments. Throughout her career, she has been involved in obtaining millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients, resolving numerous cases for more than a million dollars each and achieving record-setting results.

Colleen has been a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, The Illinois State Bar Association and The Women’s Bar Association of Illinois.
