Daniel M. McCleery has been headquartered in Quincy, Illinois practicing law throughout Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri for the last several years. The majority of that time he practiced law representing Defendants and insurance companies in personal injury cases in Illinois and Missouri. Over the years, he began handling more personal injury cases on behalf of the injured party and found it to be much more fulfilling and meaningful than working for corporations and insurance companies. He truly has a heart for the injured people in our community. With each personal injury case won, Dan's need to represent real people grew until he decided to dedicate 100% of his time to fighting for the injured, not a billion dollar insurance companies.
Dan has experience litigating personal injury cases big and small. From traumatic brain injuries to wrongful death cases, Dan has experience litigating and preparing cases to trial in both state and federal court. Dan understands that the most important aspect of representing an injured person is preparing each case to trial. Not settling early and cheap, but aggressively litigating your case so that you can receive as much compensation as possible. Insurance companies don't like the risks of trial. Insurance companies would prefer to try and settle your case for cheaper than what it's worth. But, Dan understands that to receive the highest compensation possible, you need to engage in aggressive litigation.
Being injured in an accident not only presents the immediate pain of the physical and mental injuries, but with the accident comes anxiety over medical bills, anxiety of not being able to work or anxiety over your ability to physically and mentally be the same person you were before. Oftentimes, an injury has a permanent effect on someone. At McCleery Law we understand all of the difficulties which come with a traumatic injury or loss.
McCleery Law seeks the opportunity to serve our community's injured by doing everything we can to help you receive just compensation for your injury. With Dan's background and experience, McCleery Law is best equipped to help you do just that!
