Greg La Cost is personable, an excellent listener, and used his expertise throughout my case advising me and to achieve optimal outcomes. Denise Rabe and Hazel Composano worked tirelessly to keep me informed and assist with my case. Terri D’Souza miraculously negotiated the medical lien. I highly recommend this team to anyone needing a personal injury attorney.

Denis Adams communicated with me throughout the whole process, was a little stressed and uncertain but she made sure to talk me through the whole thing and stayed in contact with me the moment she got updated.

I had a great experience working with RF Wittmeyer, Ltd. (2101 S Arlington Heights Rd UNIT 103, Arlington Heights, IL 60005) and I’m very thankful for the help I received. From the beginning, the team—including Marisela Nevarez, attorney Greg La Cost, Terri D’Souza, and Ann, the office manager—was professional, responsive, and very clear about the entire process.They took the time to explain my options and were always willing to answer my questions, which really helped ease my stress during a difficult situation. What stood out most was how supportive and attentive they were throughout my case. I always felt updated and informed, and I truly felt like my case was being handled with care and attention to detail. Their communication was consistent and reassuring, and they made a stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend this law office to anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate legal representation.

I am very grateful and feel blessed to have found this firm and to have entrusted them with my case. My attorney, Greg Lacoste, was always attentive and honest; He fought for more to fair compensation in my case. Marisela and Ivette worked on my case (and they speak Spanish), and Dennise was excellent as well. If you are looking for a personal injury firm, this is the place to go. Thank you so much to the team and thank you Ann btw 😊🌷 Estoy muy agradecida con la firma y especialmente con mi Abogado Greg Lacoste, siempre fue atento, respetuoso y compasivo y sabe cómo llevar un caso de lesión personal y sabe cómo ganarlo, Todo el equipo fue maravilloso, muy agradecida con Marisela, Ivette y Denisse, por cierto, hablan español… Muchas gracias al equipo y gracias Ann por cierto 😊🌷

I have been very pleased with Marisela throughout this process. My accident settlement is finally coming to a close, and she has been very informative, kind, and patient every step of the way. She was on top of everything while making the process much easier to understand and always making me feel confident that the team had my back. I’ll add as well that everyone at the office has been nothing but sweet and proactive!

Marina Safarov Gianina Carreon Denise Adams Terri D. Souza Were very very very helpful in my case couldn’t ask for a better team. When you’re in a situation with an injury I would definitely recommend giving them a call speaking with them. It will greatly benefit you. Don’t fight your case alone give them a call make the process easier on yourself.

I had a car accident and I retain RF Wittmeyer to handle my case. Greg handled my case along with others and reached a nice settlement for me after a long fight with person that hit and her insurance. I highly recommend RF Wittmeyer if you need an accident attorney. I am very happy with the outcome

Frequently Asked Questions

Seek medical attention, report the injury through the appropriate workplace process, and document what happened as thoroughly as possible. Photographs, witness information, medical records, and written reports may all become important later.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, permanent disability, and other losses. Pain and suffering may also be recoverable when there is a valid claim against a negligent third party.

A denial or delay does not necessarily mean that you have no options. An attorney can review the reason for the decision, the available documentation, and whether additional action may be taken to pursue the benefits or compensation you need.

You should follow the medical guidance provided by the professionals treating your injury. If you believe you are being pressured to return before you can safely perform your job, speaking with an attorney may help you understand your rights and available next steps.

Potentially. If defective machinery, tools, safety equipment, or another product contributed to the accident, there may be an additional claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or another responsible company.

Construction accident matters can involve workers’ compensation, third-party liability, multiple companies, and competing insurance interests. An attorney can investigate the accident, identify potential sources of compensation, and help protect your claim.

The firm offers free consultations, and there is no fee unless the firm wins your case. The initial consultation is confidential and does not obligate you to move forward.

The firm handles matters involving scaffold accidents, ladder falls, electrocution injuries, cranes and heavy equipment, falling objects, slips and falls, and other serious job-site incidents. The legal team can review the circumstances and explain which claims may be available.
