Ian R. Alexander

My name is Ian Alexander. I am a proud native of Chicago. I have lived and worked in Chicago and its suburbs for more than 50 years. I was raised in the suburbs of Chicago by parents who stressed the importance of family, education, and knowing the difference between right and wrong. I was blessed with strong role models who taught me the importance of putting the needs of others before my own. I was taught to honor and value the opinions of all people. I was taught to respectfully question anything and everything. I was raised to be humble and gentle in victory, as well as proud and unbending in defeat. I was taught to be a realist. Someone who’s wishbone is not where his backbone should be. I learned to have compassion for those who fail. Why am I telling you these things? Because they have become the foundation for my career as a trial lawyer. Since 1995, I have proudly represented the victims of negligence. I only represent those people who are injured, mostly by big corporations and hospitals. I am proudest of my work representing children who have been injured at birth and have been left with profound brain damage and the victims of sexual abuse. When I say that I am a trial lawyer, I mean exactly that. I have the confidence and skills to take your case to trial in front of a jury and ask them to enter a verdict in your favor. I don’t just claim to be a trial lawyer, like many who advertise on the internet. I know my way to the courthouse and am an expert practitioner of the art of persuasion in the courtroom. All the verdicts and settlements achieved by me and by Goldberg & Goldberg, LLC are based on our own hard work, and not the work of other lawyers. Often, lawyers refer their cases to me because they know that I possess the specialized skills and ability to see complex cases to a conclusion. In these situations, I always act as lead counsel. I concentrate my practice on representing the victims of catastrophic injuries in the areas of medical malpractice and complex personal injury litigation. This is all that I do and have done for more than 30 years. I first joined Goldberg & Goldberg in 1999 and became a partner in 2004. I have tried to verdict and/ or settled a multitude of medical malpractice, wrongful death, sex abuse, product liability, aviation, railroad, construction negligence and other complex personal injury cases. I have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for my clients. I have been appointed to the plaintiff’s steering committee in the litigation arising out of the Amtrak-Bourbonnais Train Disaster, the Hinkley Air Disaster, and the Oshkosh Mid-Air Disaster, among other litigation. I have published articles and authored book chapters regularly on issues pertaining to medical malpractice litigation. I serve, and have served, in leadership positions in organizations in the field of personal injury law and other civic organizations.
