LeFante Law Offices, P.C. founder James P. LeFante began his legal career defending insurance companies. That experience gave him a precise understanding of how insurers evaluate claims, train adjusters to minimize payouts, and build strategies designed to work against injured clients. Today, that same knowledge works entirely in your favor – and it shapes every decision we make on your case.
Most law firms leave clients to chase down updates. At LeFante Law Offices, P.C., we initiate contact at every stage of your case. You will always know what is happening, what comes next, and why. Your role is to focus on healing. Ours is to handle everything else.
Insurance companies offer fair settlements only when they believe you are genuinely prepared to go to court. Our attorneys approach every personal injury claim with full trial preparation – and that posture creates the leverage that consistently leads to stronger outcomes at the negotiating table.
Our commitment to you does not end when your case resolves. We actively work after settlement to reduce medical bills and outstanding liens – putting more of your compensation in your hands rather than in the hands of lienholders. In one motorcycle accident case, our post-settlement advocacy saved a client $180,000 in reduced medical bills alone.
Our relationships with medical professionals across McLean County and Central Illinois extend beyond courtroom testimony. These connections have helped identify serious undiagnosed conditions – including dangerous conditions such as deep vein thrombosis – that contributed to client recovery in ways that went well beyond the legal case itself.
You pay nothing upfront. No hourly billing. No case expenses if we do not recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we win – so our interests are aligned with yours from the moment you first call to the day your case resolves.

LeFante Law Offices, P.C. works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. There is no upfront cost, no hourly billing, and no fee owed if we do not win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain – which means our interests are fully aligned with yours from the first consultation to the final resolution of your case.
The value of your case depends on the nature and severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, your lost wages and future earning capacity, and the impact the injury has had on your daily life and well-being. Illinois allows recovery for both economic damages – medical bills, lost income, and future care costs – and non-economic damages, including pain and suffering and emotional distress. Because every case is unique, the most accurate way to understand the potential value of your claim is to call (309) 869-8309 for a free case evaluation.
Illinois uses a modified comparative fault standard, meaning you can still recover compensation as long as your share of fault is 50% or less. If you are found 50% or less responsible, you may recover damages – though your recovery will be reduced proportionately by your percentage of fault. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering damages at all. Insurance companies routinely argue comparative fault to reduce payouts. Having an experienced attorney contest those arguments is critical to protecting your recovery.
You should not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer from an insurance company without first speaking with a personal injury attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained professionals whose job is to minimize the value of your claim. They may use your own statements against you. LeFante Law Offices, P.C. handles all communications with insurers from the moment you retain our firm, so you are protected from the moment we take your case.
