At Coffman Law, we understand that when another attorney refers a client to our firm, they are entrusting us with something far more valuable than a legal case—they are entrusting us with their professional reputation and the confidence their client has placed in them.

We do not take that responsibility lightly.

For more than two decades, attorneys throughout Illinois and across the country have referred complex personal injury and wrongful death cases to Brian W. Coffman because they know their clients will receive exceptional legal representation, personal attention, and unwavering advocacy. Our goal is simple: to treat every referred client as if they were a member of our own family while honoring the trust placed in us by the referring attorney.

Built on Trust. Proven Through Results.

Coffman Law focuses exclusively on representing individuals and families who have suffered catastrophic injuries or the loss of a loved one due to negligence.

Our practice includes:

• Catastrophic motor vehicle collisions
• Commercial trucking accidents
• Wrongful death claims
• Medical negligence
• Civil rights litigation
• Premises liability
• Construction accidents
• Product liability
• Other complex personal injury matters

With more than 22 years of litigation experience and over $1 billion recovered on behalf of injured clients, Brian Coffman has built a reputation for preparing every case as though it will be tried before a jury. That commitment to thorough preparation often leads to stronger settlements and, when necessary, successful courtroom results.

Why Attorneys Refer Cases to Coffman Law

Many attorneys encounter cases that require substantial financial resources, specialized litigation experience, or the ability to handle complex liability issues. Whether the case involves multiple defendants, catastrophic injuries, significant insurance coverage disputes, or challenging legal questions, our firm has the experience and resources to pursue justice on behalf of the client.

Referring attorneys work with us because they know we provide:

• Thorough case evaluation and investigation
• Aggressive litigation strategy
• Open and consistent communication
• Significant trial experience
• The resources necessary to prosecute complex cases
• Compassionate client service from beginning to end

Most importantly, we understand that every referral reflects on the attorney who made it. We strive to reinforce that trust every step of the way.

A True Partnership

We recognize that every referring attorney has different goals.

Some attorneys prefer to remain actively involved throughout the litigation. Others simply want to ensure their client receives experienced representation while they continue focusing on their own practice. We are comfortable with either approach and tailor our working relationship to meet the referring attorney’s preferences.

Communication is one of our highest priorities. We keep referring attorneys informed about significant developments, major litigation milestones, settlement discussions, and trial preparation so they always know the status of the case.

Our objective is to create long-term professional relationships built on transparency, respect, and mutual success.

Ethical Referral Fee Arrangements

Coffman Law strictly complies with all applicable ethical rules governing attorney referrals and fee-sharing arrangements. We believe referral relationships should always be transparent, professionally handled, and structured in accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct.

When permitted, we are happy to discuss referral fee arrangements that comply with the applicable ethical requirements and are fully disclosed to the client.

Every Client Deserves Exceptional Representation

While we value every attorney referral, our greatest responsibility is to the client.

From the initial consultation through settlement or trial, we are committed to providing every referred client with responsive communication, honest advice, meticulous preparation, and relentless advocacy. We understand that our work reflects not only on our firm but also on the attorney who trusted us with their client.

That is a responsibility we embrace every day.
