Paul Ankin
Senior Partner
Paul Ankin is part of the backbone of the Chicago legal community, having practiced law for over four decades. After serving in the United States Army as an Assistant Post Judge Advocate General at Sixth Army Headquarters, Presidio of San Francisco, California, he entered into private practice but remained one of the few attorneys in the area who assisted both reservists and draftees with their legitimate rights in regard to deferral or cancellation of their military service obligations.
Today, many of Paul’s clients hail from families for which he has been providing legal services for generations. His loyal dedication to their wellbeing is evidenced by their continuous referrals to family and friends.
For Paul, no case is too small to fight for on behalf of a loyal client. Serving as general counsel for clients whose office files date back to the 1960’s, he has seen the relentless nature of insurance companies grow and has become an advocate for his clients’ rights, working steadfastly to ensure that their livelihood is not hanging in the balance of a never-ending bureaucratic paper trail.
