Have you been injured while fetching? Unfairly provoked by a squirrel? Wrongfully accused of being a very bad dog? If so, you may be entitled to serious compensation (treats).

Our pawttorneys bring a combined 25 years of personal injury and workers’ compensation experience in Chicago—that’s roughly 175 dog years (give or take a few naps). Our distinguished educational backgrounds include degrees from Northwestern Pawsker School of Law, DePaw University College of Law, and the highly competitive Mrs. Johnson’s Obedience School of Joliet (top 3 in “Sit” and “Stay” in the nation). Our keen noses for the law help us sniff out maximum treats, chew toys, and belly rubs in compensation for the toughest negligent injuries. When negligent humans (or squirrels) cause harm, we bark back!

Our Mission

The pawyers of Levin, Riback & Adleman have a single mission: to use the law in the best interests of Chicago’s dogs. Whatever your breed, coat, size, and whether you’ve been fixed or not, you deserve fair representation in the court of paw. We work tirelessly (between naps) to deliver the best for our clients.

Meet Our Pack

Read on to learn more about our elite pack of Chicago personal injury pawyers:

  • Yogi Levin, Petsquire, is Illinois’ top expert in Dog Walking Law. He’s best known for his role in the landmark class action case Fetcherson v. Rain Delay, which affirmed the right to walk despite rainstorms. He focuses on litigation involving denied walks, inadequate walks, encounters with bicycles, strollers, and squirrels during walks, and fetch-related injuries. He recently secured 6-figure treat for a golden retriever who was denied her minimum 4 walks a day.
  • Bella Levin, Petsquire, Senior Pawssociate, is a highly respected trial pawyer in the area of backyard property rights. She has litigated some of the nation’s largest cases against squirrel and rabbit trespassers and secured a lifetime of treats and other compensation for her clients. Squirrels live in fear as soon as Bella enters the courtroom.
  • Axl Adelman, Petsquire, specializes in running and chase law, having litigated dozens of cases involving zoomie rights, in equitable treat distribution, slip-and-fall claims, wrongful drooling defense, and public space running ordinances. Axl recently secured a 7-figure treat compensation for a dalmatian after discovering the defendant owner was attempting to pass single treats as two by breaking the single treat in half.
  • Otter Levin, Petsquire, is a leading litigator in drool and splash law. As a Newfoundland himself, Otter understands all too well the discrimination large dogs can face when it comes to the intake and outflow of fluid. His strong bark in court is matched only by his ability to take over an entire human bed (when he can get away with it). He successfully defended numerous St. Bernards and other large breeds from wrongful accusations of drool and slobber on new clothing and furniture.
  • Hamish Levin, Petsquire, is Levin, Riback & Adelman’s Head Pawtner. A former division 1 athlete in fetch. He now practices in herding and emotional support animal law. An avid athlete and sports fan, Hamish loves playing soccer and supports Leicester City FC, aka The Foxes.
  • CeeCee, Petsquire, is experienced in chew toy custody disputes, lap squatter’s rights, and wagging tail negligence defense. She combines lapdog snuggliness with the courtroom bark of a larger breed.
