Reviews

2 out of the 4 reviews that he has thus far are from people that he has known for years. That should tell you something. I would not recommend hiring Bill Connor for anything, let alone a work comp or pension case. Bill worked on my pension case first. I could never get ahold of him and he was not good at keeping me up to date on my case. He had an excuse every single time as to why things were not getting done. His fee was customary and reasonable. I paid half up front and the other half due once the pension case was settled. Literally, the minute the case was over he wanted paid while standing there with my family and other coworkers around. I was shocked that he had the balls to ask to be paid right then in there in front of everyone. Extremely, unprofessional. No invoice, no warning, nothing. I certainly could have paid him but not in that manner. When it came time for the hard part, my work comp case, he basically did nothing for months. When I pressed him on it he referred me out to another attorney because it was going to be too difficult for him. Granted, it appeared that we were going to have to go to trial to resolve my case and he lacked experience in actually trying a case but he stalled for months without letting me know this. In the end, it was the best thing to every happen as my case was resolved with a great outcome by another , very professional attorney. If you need help in a pension and work comp case involving public service pensions (police and fire) I would NOT recommend Bill Connor. Yes, Bill Connor is well known in the industry for this type of work but he is not well regarded by the ones that have actually used him.
I have know Attorney Connor for over twenty years. He has handled numerous personal injury cases for people I know . This year he handled my Work Comp, Disability case. He got me everything that the Law said I was entitled to. Bill has always been straight forward and Honest. If your looking for someone to bend the rules to get you what you think you deserve, Bill is Not your man. He has written law for workmans comp. settlements and is Strictly by the book. If you get injured at work Attorney Connor is the phone call you need to make.
If you like someone who will show you a shiny whistle and the fancy patches he has on his wall, to get you as a client and then lead you on for months on end and then still leave you hanging with medical bills...William (Bill) Connor is your guy! My medical bills are still being worked out, but this guys attitude after finalizing the workers comp settlement makes me understand why attorneys/lawyers are so despised. My hospital bill still hasn't been paid...
I have known Bill for a number of years and he has always been there for me. He is highly rated by firefighters and police officers in the state of Illinois. I have used his services and he has always made sure that I got everything that I wanted and needed. Certain cities don't like him because he knows the laws and stands up for his clients. I consider Bill a Good Friend and a EXCELLENT Attorney in his field.
Bill did an amazing job for my personal injury case. Very happy with the outcome!
