Firm Overview

McHenry County, Illinois, Lawyers

Personal Injury - Workers' Compensation
Criminal & Traffic Defense - Family Law - Juvenile Law

At the law firm of Botto Gilbert Schottland & Andrle PC, we believe that lawsuits, litigation and the justice system offer the opportunity of a fair hearing and a fair outcome — as well as inherent challenges including lengthy proceedings, confusing procedures, and the stress and anxiety of the legal process. We realize that your legal matter is very important to you, and that the legal process can be both frustrating and confusing. Our attorneys are committed to addressing your concerns from start to finish and to advocating aggressively for your rights.

For 25 years, we have worked to provide the best possible results for each client. We are highly experienced in fighting for your rights whether you have been injured, have been accused of a crime, are facing a divorce or other family law dispute, or are fighting for your child’s rights as a parent in juvenile court. Our legal successes include:

• We recovered substantial financial damages for numerous individuals poisoned by salmonella after consuming Jewel Foods' dairy products. Injuries included heart damage and brain damage.
• We successfully litigated the personal injury cases of workers injured in the roof collapse of the Allstate Arena and were part of the legal team representing families who lost loved ones in the American Airlines crash at O’Hare International Airport.
• We have fought for the property, custody and support rights of hundreds of clients facing divorce.
• We successfully minimized or eliminated the legal consequences of thousands of minors facing charges of gang violence, drugs charges, graffiti and other criminal charges, and adults facing serious traffic violations, including DUI/DWI.
• We recently settled a wrongful death case for over $1.1 million after a motorcyclist was struck and killed instantly by an oncoming vehicle.
• We successfully defended a school teacher accused of sexual abuse (inappropriate touching of a school child) and successfully litigated a criminal case for a teenager charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm (hung jury after 8 hours of deliberation even after the witnesses testified they saw the teenager shoot the gun.)

We combine our legal skills and experience with caring, respectful, compassionate and comforting client services. Our staff and attorney team listen carefully to clients' concerns, respond to phone calls promptly and provide frequent updates throughout their case.
