Client Reviews & Testimonials · Personal Injury & Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse · Illinois
My husband was injured in a fall at a nursing home. Not knowing where to turn, I found Barry Doyle when I searched online for safe nursing homes. Barry is not only an excellent lawyer, but a kind and compassionate man. He helped me through the worst time of my life and got me through the complicated legal system in a professional and caring manner. All of my questions were answered quickly and in language I could easily understand.
Despite the pandemic, we were able to move through this case on zoom, emails and phone calls. Barry gave me all the options and let me make the decisions. No pressure!!! His vast experience with nursing homes really shows.
My husband’s case is over and his life will now be better. He and I can focus on the rest of our time together. Thank you, Barry for everything!
Attorney Doyle’s reputation is far reaching; well known in areas outside of Illinois. I reside in Virginia and my 90-year-old mother is in a nursing home in Illinois. When an unfortunate situation arose concerning my mother, I had no one to turn to for help. I consulted with attorneys in the Northern Virginia/Washington, DC area and they recommended Attorney Barry G. Doyle. I can attest to the positive character traits noted by other clients but above all, he proved to be a competent veteran attorney, tenacious, and doesn’t suffer fools lightly.
In these types of cases, a ‘David’ is required to go up against the ‘Goliath’ insurance company attorneys with their goal of minimizing or avoiding a fair settlement. The ‘David’ you want to represent you in a tough nursing home abuse case is Attorney Barry G. Doyle, he is one you can trust.
My father passed away from sepsis after nursing home negligence. I contacted Barry Doyle to see if we had a case. Barry talked through a lawsuit with myself and my brother to explain the process. His calm demeanor, care and concern for our loss was comforting. He helped us with our decision. Too many times nursing homes just fill the bed to get their money. Barry took our case and step by step he was there. There is no amount of money to replace our father nor compensation for the sadness and suffering. We are hoping through this process someone else might not have to suffer. Thank you Barry.
Our Family utilized Barry Doyle’s law firm to address an accident that happened to our Mother at a nursing home, that resulted in her death. Barry was very helpful in providing input to decisions that had to be made, and letting us know of options that could be made on various steps to move forward. All in all we were very happy with the outcome of the court proceedings.
I found Mr. Doyle through a different firm that recommended him. My experience working with him was positive and rewarding. It takes time for these cases and I think he did a great job considering what we were up against. It has been a great experience working with Mr. Doyle, and I always call him Mr. Doyle because he earned that respect. Every time I had a question he answered it. He explained to me the pros and cons of my case and what may or may not happen. I was grateful to have this information and for him keeping me up to date on my case.
We didn’t put our mother into a nursing home for her to become decubitus but that’s what happened. Others need to see that these people did this and that they need to be held accountable — Mr. Doyle understands that.
Barry had quite an understanding of what was going on, what the next steps would be. He was very clear in explaining the strengths and weaknesses of my case and helped me to understand the legal aspects. I felt that my case was as important as the most important case around. When I wanted to talk to Barry, get some feedback from him or anything, he was available. I didn’t feel like just another number. Also, his staff was professional and pleasant. I felt that my case moved along as best it could, and I was pleased with the result.
We lost our mom in a clear case of Senior Care negligence resulting in her premature death. We spoke with 4 different attorneys before choosing Attorney Barry Doyle. He was the 4th and we clearly made the right choice. From day one, Barry showed a more genuine interest in our mom’s case than the other 3 lawyers/firms had combined. In the 2 years working with Barry thru this complex issue we found him to be honest about the pros and cons of our situation, timely in response to our questions, very knowledgeable in the law we were facing and well respected by the Judges and Adverse attorneys and Insurance Companies. This resulted in an overall fair resolution to our mom’s passing and is very much appreciated and to be commended. Thanks Barry for helping us put this issue to rest.
When I was looking for a lawyer I wasn’t a happy camper but Barry was very comforting. When I had questions he would take the time to answer them and was very good at returning my calls. Barry was also the only lawyer who offered to see me in the nursing home. That meant a lot to me because I was very sick and unable to look for a lawyer and I did not want to hire a lawyer on the phone. I figured if a lawyer was serious he would come and see me.
Barry knew his job very well and had a lot of details about nursing homes. That put me at ease.
I think people need to know that there is no harm in suing to recover what you lost when you’ve been hurt. A lot of people think they don’t have time to deal with a lawyer, but I didn’t have to do anything. I’ve heard “it upsets me to talk about it,” but really, it’s no different than talking to a friend except your friend can’t get you money!
I would recommend Barry to others.
I am a former client of the Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle.
My mother fell in her room at her nursing home and broke her leg and her ankle in the fall. Barry had been recommended to me by a nurse that I was working with, and I am glad that I called. It turned out that even though everyone knew that my mother was a fall risk, they never did a fall prevention plan like they were supposed to. That is something that I never would have found out on my own, and the nursing staff never would have told me.
I was extremely pleased with how Barry handled my Mother’s case against the nursing home. It is amazing how much investigation and work goes into a case like that. Barry worked with intensity, and always kept me up to date in every aspect of the case. I commend Barry’s passion and hard work that brought about a conclusion with a justified settlement.
I am very grateful to him for his excellent service and am happy to recommend him to others.
I am a former client of the Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle, and I am happy to recommend their services to anyone who has either been in an accident themselves or who has had a family member injured or killed in an accident.
My mother was in declining health and after a hospital admission, we as a family made a decision to admit her to a nursing home. At the time of her passing, she had developed some bed sores and we were concerned that some of the issues we had with the care that she had been getting in the nursing home caused them.
I contacted Mr. Doyle’s office and arranged for a meeting with him. Not only is he very easy to talk to, he understood right away what it was we were talking about and why we were upset with the nursing home. We decided to hire him and that is a decision I am very pleased with.
He got the medical records in and had them reviewed fairly quickly and explained to me what it was he saw and what the issues were in the case. With that in mind, we started to negotiate with the insurance company and reached a settlement agreement which was satisfactory to everyone. When it came time for me to make that decision to go ahead and accept the settlement offer, it was one that I was really comfortable making because he was so clear about explaining to me what the issues were in my mother’s case. I felt like I was a partner in making the decision – that it wasn’t something that was being made for me.
Going through this kind of situation is something that I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but you never know what life will bring you, and if you have to go through something like this, hiring Barry Doyle as your lawyer is a smart move – and one you can feel good about.
Barry Doyle did an amazing job with my case involving the nursing home negligence that caused the death of my father. Barry worked tirelessly to resolve this case and move forward with a settlement without going to trial but was fully prepared had we gone this route. He was always available and handled the emotional challenges with grace and dignity. The settlement was very fair and would not have happened without the leadership and experience from Barry. I am very grateful for his work and counsel!
Honesty, Integrity, Transparency, Partnership. With Barry Doyle I got this and more. When one of the most tragic events happened in my life, Barry was there for me and my family when we needed someone the most. We knew that this was going to be a very long and rough road and we wanted a partner that could help us through it. Barry is a very resourceful and creative thinker, he explored all options to strengthen our case. As the case developed Barry made sure that we had the information we needed to understand what was going to happen and what the next steps were. He not only built a strong case but was easily accessible, by phone, email and often, in person. He is a professional with an understanding heart, and a great balance. You are in good hands with Barry.
Barry explained the strengths and weaknesses of my case in a manner that was easy to understand. Barry is patient, empathetic, and considerate. Barry took the time to make me feel that my case and my feelings were important to him. He’s not your typical attorney. I was pleased with the result, and I’d absolutely recommend Barry.
Barry is upfront with his clients and very good man to deal with. Very patient and returns your phone call. Haven’t finished our case yet but he’s always following up on things. Highly recommend him.
Barry has always acted in a responsible and professional manner. He worked very diligently on the investigation of my case and with a personal and caring demeanor. Even though at times it was an uphill fight with opposing attorneys and witnesses, he hung in there and in the end came through with winning results. He also acted in a trustworthy manner when it came to answering questions about outlying expenses involved in obtaining the final results, which was successful. I personally wouldn’t hesitate to use Barry in the future.
Mr. Doyle did an amazing job handling our case. He was very informative, knowledgeable, concise, and made sure we understood everything and the process. He answered our questions in a very timely manner. We are very pleased with the outcome and his professional service. He was caring, attentive, thorough, and respectful of us and our concerns. Would not hesitate to refer him to anyone who needs his expertise. Thanks, Barry for everything! We appreciate you!
My daughter was injured by a family member while we were visiting them in Illinois. I called Barry Doyle and he took his time to walk me through the process and explain each step. He was very personable and helped me to navigate the sensitive situation of notifying my in-laws that we would be seeking compensation. Barry seems like a genuinely good guy who is great at his job.
Barry is great at responding to my emails in a prompt manner. Very professional in handling my case. Updates me with my case as needed. And very transparent with the financial aspect. Now, i have peace of mind. I would highly recommend him.
Mr. Doyle did an excellent job in the matter of our mothers lawsuit. Felt he did the very best in reaching a suitable settlement. Would gladly retain him in any future legal matters.
Barry is smart, thoughtful, effective attorney who approaches law the way you would want your advocate to represent you. Above all, he is a person of integrity, who approaches things calmly, strategically and with a solid understanding of the law. Barry was able to keep me informed throughout the proceedings and represent my voice in these two party talks. When you go into battle, it’s very important to have someone to take a stand on your side. Barry is a consummate professional and one that can be trusted. He is extremely knowledgeable and very much respected by other attorneys. Barry did a great job explaining the trade-offs of different strategies. My advice: Follow the process and do what he says.
Barry went over everything thoroughly and explained things to me in layman’s language as against attorney’s language. I was very happy and comfortable with the way Barry handled everything. Barry was very accommodating. As the case progressed, he always kept me informed on everything that was going on. It all gets started with a loss for someone, and everything worked out very well. I’d naturally recommend Barry to others.
I was injured in Chicago, and had to go to a chiropractor in Oklahoma and then saw a chiropractor back home (Ontario, Oregon) who could manage the pain. One day my fingers and hands wouldn’t work. The chiropractor had me in for a MRI-type thing and had me see a neurosurgeon who wanted $40,000. Progressive wouldn’t pay anything and hadn’t paid for any of the bills.
The chiropractor told me I needed a lawyer and got me in touch with Barry.
After talking to Barry, he got involved and got something out of Progressive. One day he called with some options. He found the Washington insurance company wrote the policy on the Oregon company I worked for and there were higher limits. Less than 1/10 of 1% of attorneys would have found this. I’m amazed he found this. I knew I wasn’t dealing with an ambulance chaser.
He’s probably a very busy person and very efficient minded. I’m on a need to know basis, until something happened and then he would let me know. He was busy on it the whole time. I don’t have any complaints in any way of anything he’s done. I was really surprised he put as much time and effort in getting the resolution that he did.
Highly recommend. More so than any attorney I know and I have two good friends that are attorneys. As far as attorney and a person who is going to take care of business and do what he said he’s going to do, never known an attorney who is as close to what he’s done for me. As an attorney he’s a 10, as a person he’s a 10+. Very efficient at getting things done and more important than that he’s a good person. That stuck out to me more than anything.
The best part about working with Barry was that he would always let me know what was going on. He would call or email me back right away and was always timely in responding to me. I never felt ignored or neglected. His staff was pleasant and professional. I could rely on Barry and his staff.
Barry was very easy to deal with. He explained strengths and weaknesses of my case. I was very comfortable with him handling my case. My case moved along well. I was pleased with the result. I have already recommended Barry and would recommend him again. Barry is very easy to talk to and made a difficult process very comfortable for me. He was very clear, and succinct and precise.
Barry is very good at communication. He knows what he is talking about and explains everything extremely well. He laid everything out, and I understood the strengths and weaknesses of my case. Whether I e-mailed or left a voicemail, Barry was always good about getting back to me. I was very comfortable having him take care of my case.
His staff was very professional and pleasant. I was very pleased with the result based on what I’ve learned and what we did.
After my accident, I had been in and out of the hospital. My bills were piling up. I looked for an attorney, and Barry was the first attorney to return my call. He came to my house as I was recovering and went through everything with me. While everyone else I was dealing with seemed to be shuffling paper, Barry actually sat down and was interested in my end of it. He cared about what was going on with me, my life, the troubles I was having. And his staff was pleasant, professional, and organized.
He kept me up to date with what was going on with the case, making the process quite a bit easier to deal with than what I expected. I told him what was going on and he took care of everything from the legal end of it. Barry laid it out, don’t expect this, don’t expect that, but we may be able to do this or that. And, he put it in layman’s terms for me that I could understand.
I was just hoping to avoid ending up under a ton of bills, but Barry managed to clear a lot of things up, take advantage of a lot of avenues for me that I just didn’t know were there. I was very happy with the result and very surprised with how well it turned out.
I very much felt that I could rely on Barry. He answered all my questions and explained the strengths & weaknesses of my case. I understood everything he explained to me. I knew what was going on each step of the way and knew what to expect. I was not in the dark. I would recommend Barry to anyone who needs a lawyer because he made me feel very comfortable.
I found Barry because my brother and I were familiar with him from Evanston high school. When I called him, Barry was enthused and listened to everything I had to say about my accident. He was attentive throughout the whole process. Any questions I had Barry would explain to me and would return my calls right away when I left him a voicemail. Barry was upbeat and aware of what was going on so I never felt that I was just another case to him or that he was a lawyer trying to make a quota. There was never any time that I felt unsure about Barry. I would automatically recommend Barry to anyone in need of a lawyer.
I found Barry online through a web search. Barry came to my house for our first meeting and I could tell he was a man with a lot of integrity — just a real straight shooter. Every time I spoke with Barry he would explain what we were doing, why we were doing it, and what could happen if we didn’t. When I was nervous or didn’t know what to expect, like during my deposition, Barry was great at keeping me informed and calm. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone seeking an attorney.
Barry Doyle was my attorney for a car accident settlement. He is an experienced and seasoned attorney. I communicated with him directly and he was readily available. Barry was collaborative. He listened to, respected, and worked with my opinions. He applied good judgement in negotiation with the insurance company which lead to a favorable settlement in a short period of time.
Just closed out a case for me. Couldn’t be any happier with the final result. I highly recommend him. He will do what he tells you he will do. Shoots from the hip. When you need a workers advocate he is definitely the guy to contact. Every time I had a question and called him he answered the phone and I called a lot and no question too big or small. He will definitely make you feel at ease with your worries about your case. Did a 5 star job for me and my family…thanks again Barry. You da man!!
Two or three other lawyers turned down my case but Barry knew it was a strong case and saw potential.
Barry gave me a good idea of what to expect and did an excellent job of explaining things. He knew what he was talking about, and I was very comfortable with him handling my case.
The case moved along according to how Barry said it would.
In the end, I was pleased with the result and would recommend Barry to anyone else in need of an attorney.
My experience in working with Attorney Doyle was outstanding. We spoke and I met him in his office and he gave me full assurance that he was able to handle the case. I put my confidence in him and he performed the task beautifully. It was the best attorney-client relationship that I can imagine having. He meant his word, he’s a very honest attorney and he works very diligently.
When I had questions I could call and/or email and they would respond back within 24 hours. It was always a responding question that made me understand things better, oftentimes it may not have been I wanted to hear but the truth is better than, you know, my own insight on something, because they’re the experts and once I recognized their expertise I began to rely totally on the information that they gave me and the recommendations that they gave me. Outstanding office.
I would absolutely, unequivocally say that Barry Doyle is a top injury attorney. The reason I say that is because in the end when things were very challenging with medical bills he stuck by me and he worked with the persons that I owed and had every bill reduced which was simply marvelous. I went through a lot of treatment, therapies, and what have you and it was just so uplifting to see the data sheet as to what the actual costs was versus what he was able to negotiate down. This is a lifelong injury and he took it as that and I appreciate it very much. And I would recommend him to anyone, and I would say he’s extremely highly recommended, 5-star attorney.
I came to you desperate, frustrated, angry, hurt, and in despair among many other feelings. I’ll never forget the first day we met and you sat down with me and made me a very honest promise that you would look at my case and that if you felt I wouldn’t be able to come out of our partnership with more than what was presented to me by the insurance company at the time, that you would hand me back my file and tell me to take that deal at no cost. When we continued forward I put my full trust in you from the promise that you had made. I may have been difficult at times out of stress from the situation, but guided me through every step with respect and complete patience and the end result exceeded not only my expectations but my wildest imagination. You helped me bring closure to one of the most difficult nights of my life and I couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing job you had done for me. I would be honored to recommend you as a lawyer for anyone else out there finding themselves in these terribly unfortunate positions to bring the same closure to their most difficult experience.
Barry Doyle — if I could give him more than 5 stars I would. After being turned down from 3 different lawyers he was my last but best choice. He did not give up at all. And got the job done! I would recommend Barry over and over! Thank you so much.
Barry was very concerned about my well being. You know when you go to hire an attorney they tell you the pros and cons. He really did that for me. He told me what I was up against and what was weak about my case and the reasons why. And at first I didn’t like it, but who does?
He’s a good guy. He’s really laid back. He explained every inch of the way what I would go through. I had a Worker’s Comp case before but of course it’s different. I couldn’t understand why they weren’t paying my medical bills along the way and he said ‘send the bills to me, you get a lump sum at the end’.
I would recommend him most definitely. He explains everything in detail. He was really concerned about me and that’s what impressed me. He’s concerned about people.
I wanted to take this opportunity to commend you for the way you handled my law suit. From the minute you agreed to represent me you were always very professional, prompt, enthusiastic, positive, knowledgeable and helpful. You kept me informed of all proceedings, meetings, depositions, and anything and everything I needed to do.
I am very pleased with the settlement of my case and that you were able to come to an agreement without actually having the case go to trial.
It was interesting that it took coming to court ready for trial to have the defendant’s attorneys make their final offer.
I highly recommend you to represent anyone needing an accident attorney.
Barry is an A#1 attorney. He is a personable individual who exudes a caring quality. I have dealt with numerous attorneys for personal needs and in my career. I can say, without reservation, that Barry Doyle is the best I have ever known. He guided me through each step of my claim and was always on top of every detail. He was very thorough and never failed to keep me fully informed in a timely manner on all correspondence, phone messages, etc. I would recommend Barry to anyone needing a high-quality litigator.
Barry was super helpful in the whole process and understood my situation perfectly. He made great suggestions and put me in the best possible situation for success. It was such a pleasure working with Barry!
Working with Barry was easy. I asked a question on the internet, and I got a response from him. It was so easy, it was unreal.
Barry explained what was going on with my case. Several times he advised me on the pluses and the minuses of the case, what could and couldn’t happen. He knew what was going on, so I was really impressed. He made sure that we were on the same page. The case went quicker than I thought it would. It was like ‘wow, it’s over, it’s settled.’ And, I was very pleased with the result.
I have already recommended Barry as an attorney and I would again.
I would like to thank you for the excellent job you did with my case. Always honest and upfront with everything especially when it came to getting a settlement. You are a professional, personal, and an outstanding lawyer and if ever needed again I would not hesitate to use your services. Thank You.
I am a former client and my husband is a current client of the Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle.
My father died as a result of medical malpractice and Mr. Doyle represented the interests of me, my siblings, and my mother regarding the settlement. What I liked most about Mr. Doyle and the way that he handled things is that he did a great job explaining how things would proceed and made sure that we were all ready to testify when the time came. When we finally had the hearing for our case, I felt like I was really ready for what would happen in that court room. I was really pleased with the result.
After the case for my father was over, we started to think about a case for my husband involving his hip replacement. Once we decided that was something that we were going to move ahead with, we knew that Mr. Doyle’s office would be the one that we would call. We just feel like he is the right choice for our family. We felt like he did right by us the first time with my dad’s case and had confidence that he would do right by us for my husband’s case too.
If you have been hurt in an accident, I can’t recommend Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle enough. Good people, good lawyers.
Barry is very considerate, very knowledgeable, he knows what he’s doing. He does get to the point and made us feel comfortable so we didn’t have to find someone else. He was the only lawyer who called me back. He came to the house which was such a blessing because I don’t like to drive. He would meet on the weekends and always wanted to work with me.
He’s an all-around good guy, a sweet man, a simple man, he doesn’t put on airs. It needs to come from the heart and with Barry it does.
I will recommend him to other people.
Barry was helpful and informative throughout my wife’s case. I never had to wonder what was going on. Barry answered all of my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. I knew exactly what was going on at each stage of the case. A Godsend in a time of need and daunting challenges.
When we first contacted him, we really weren’t sure on how to proceed with the case. I was on the internet, and Barry’s information popped up. I called, and Barry listened to what I had to say.
Our son was injured, he was our first priority, and Barry also made him his first priority, too. That was just awesome for us.
Barry is easy to deal with, easy-going, and down to earth, just like a next-door neighbor. He is very easy to talk to, not intimidating at all, and definitely does his research. Barry kept us informed all the time. He’d explain things to us in just plain talk, not attorney talk. We entirely understood what was going on with our case.
Barry gives lawyers a good name. We’ve dealt with lawyers who see you as a number and then with Barry who sees you as a person. He’s the kind of lawyer you want to deal with.
Attorney Barry Doyle represented me in construction accident. His experience and hard work resulted in the favorable settlement we anticipated. No surprises.
Exceptional resource for Illinois personal injury. Nursing Home Negligence is a contact sport and Barry is so well versed in not only that area of law but also the history of violations throughout the state. Don’t believe me? Try him. The guy is a well spring of information.
Barry and his team approach every case with professionalism, compassion, and a strong command of the law. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their injured clients sets them apart.
I’ve known Barry professionally for several years. I’ve learned a lot about him and about his law practice. He is someone that I would definitely want on my side if I had a problem with a nursing home. He really knows his stuff and fights very hard for his clients. Not only do I think that he is an excellent lawyer but he is also a genuinely nice person who is easy to talk to.
Barry is one of those rare attorneys who truly cares about the welfare of his clients. He actually puts the interests of his clients above everything else. Clients have come to trust Barry and his professionalism.
Barry is a kind, smart, honest lawyer who works hard for his clients. He explained difficult issues in clear and easy to understand ways. He listened closely to my concerns and answered all my questions any time I had any. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been hurt in an accident.
I would like to recommend services offered by Law Offices of Barry Doyle. His client communication, empathy, and effectiveness in handling personal injury cases made the process easier than I thought. Mr. Doyle is patient and clear in explaining complex legal issues in a way that I could understand. The settlement was reached sooner that I was expecting and I am satisfied with the outcome.
