About Ktenas Injury Attorneys · Chicago
Ktenas Injury Attorneys is the personal injury division of Ktenas Law Group, a Chicago-area law firm founded by the three Ktenas brothers and headquartered in Orland Park, Illinois. Operating out of 401 S LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago, the firm represents car, truck, motorcycle, Uber/Lyft, pedestrian, bicycle, bus, and workplace accident victims across Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County, Will County, Kane County, and statewide Illinois on a contingency-fee basis (no fees unless they win). Attorney Christopher Ktenas, formerly a partner at a prominent insurance defense firm, leads much of the personal injury practice, and the firm markets itself as a 24/7 operation with free case reviews and bilingual (English/Spanish) intake.
Ktenas Injury Attorneys (online at chicagocaraccidentlawyer.com) is the personal injury arm of Ktenas Law Group, a multi-office Illinois firm founded in 2018 by the three Ktenas brothers. The firm has grown to roughly five offices across the Chicago metropolitan area — including the Chicago Loop (401 S LaSalle St, Ste 800-D), Orland Park (the headquarters at 10750 W 143rd St), Homewood (18300 Dixie Hwy), Tinley Park (17730 Oak Park Ave), and a second Chicago location on S Western Ave — and serves clients throughout Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, and Kane counties. The personal injury team handles car accidents, trucking collisions, motorcycle crashes, Uber and Lyft accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, bus accidents, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims. All injury cases are taken on contingency, meaning clients pay nothing unless the firm recovers compensation, and the firm offers free 24/7 consultations, in-home consultations for Chicagoland suburban clients, and in-facility consultations for those unable to travel. The site is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. Key attorney Christopher Ktenas graduated summa cum laude from Illinois State University with a B.S. in Information Technology, earned his J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law (where he won CALI awards in Pretrial Litigation, Illinois Civil Procedure, and Trial Advocacy and was a 2013 Thomas Tang International Moot Court Regional Semifinalist), and was admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern and Southern Districts of Illinois in 2014. He is a member of the Hellenic Bar Association, the Will County Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association, the Chicago Bar Association, and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA). His brother Alexander Ktenas, a former prosecutor and Northern Illinois University College of Law graduate (J.D. 2015), handles the firm's criminal defense, DUI, and traffic practice. The firm holds a 5.0-star rating across roughly 230 Google/Birdeye reviews.

Fee Structure and Case Process
All injury cases are taken on a contingency-fee basis, and the firm emphasizes 'No Fees Unless We Win' across its marketing. After a lawsuit is filed, Illinois requires a mandatory settlement conference; most car accident cases resolve before a jury verdict, either as a lump-sum or a structured (multi-year) settlement. Typical contingency percentages in Illinois range from 25% to 40% depending on case complexity and stage of resolution. The firm says it is upfront about fees, with no hidden costs or surprise add-ons.
- Contingency fee — pay only if you win
- Free initial consultation (24/7)
- Typical contingency: 25%–40% of recovery
- Lump-sum or structured settlement options
- Mandatory settlement conference after filing suit
