Experienced Illinois Civil Attorney

Are you a litigation attorney who thrives in the courtroom and excels at building lasting relationships? Kopka Law is seeking an experienced litigator to join our growing team in one of our five strategic locations.

Who You Are

You’re a seasoned attorney with a proven record of taking cases from inception to resolution. Your experience speaks for itself—you’ve managed complex caseloads, conducted confident depositions, evaluated claims with precision, and built strong partnerships with claim professionals. You consistently meet court deadlines and excel in both pre‑ and post‑litigation negotiation. Whether you’ve tried cases or simply have a strong desire to litigate, you bring the experience and drive we’re looking for.

What Sets You Apart

Beyond your technical skills, you possess exceptional communication and relationship-building abilities. You seek to understand before being understood. You’re collaborative by nature, thrive in team environments, and approach challenges with a learner’s mindset. Your proactive approach to case management means problems get solved before they escalate.

You’re also eager to expand your expertise—product liability, bodily injury, trucking, auto, construction, premises liability, coverage, and large loss property cases—you welcome the variety and the opportunity to continuously grow your practice areas. (View all of our practice areas here.)

What Our Team Has to Say

 “I have worked in the legal field for almost three decades, first as a secretary, then a paralegal, and now a licensed attorney.  Throughout those years I gained the unique perspective of having experienced, through various lenses, the full spectrum of different business cultures held by private law firms.  Kopka Law hits differently.  From introductions to interviews, to becoming part of Kopka’s legal team, the authenticity of character and cohesiveness of a true team is palpable here.  Egos are checked at the door to allow higher level collaborative efforts that lead to better results for the firm’s clients while fostering a strong office morale”.
