Bradley Pollock

Brad Pollock has been successfully representing people hurt or killed by the wrongful conduct of others for more than thirty years. He has secured numerous record-setting financial recoveries for his clients both at trial and through settlement – many of which have been featured in the news. Brad began his legal career in 1995, working as an insurance defense attorney in Chicago. He switched sides early on and has since used his knowledge of the defense side for the benefit of his plaintiff clients.

Brad has dedicated his career to obtaining justice for his clients and, at the same time, promoting change to prevent future unnecessary injury or loss of life. Brad concentrates his legal practice in areas that include: wrongful death; catastrophic personal injury; medical malpractice; construction injuries; traumatic brain injury; transportation/motor vehicle collisions; products liability; premises liability; and nursing home neglect and abuse.

The Illinois Supreme Court has appointed Mr. Pollock, by order of the Court, to serve: (1) on its Supreme Court Character and Fitness Committee for the Second District of Illinois from 2010-2020 (acting as its Chair from 2013 to 2017); (2) on its Supreme Court Civil Jury Instruction Committee from 2015-2023; and (3) as one of nine Illinois attorneys on the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) Review Board from 2020-present.
