Personal Injury Lawyers in Springfield, Illinois & Decatur Illinois

Tim Shay handled a complicated malpractice case for us and was able to get us a fair settlement. His dedication to finding the right expert witnesses and doing extensive research to make sure he understood all aspects of the case was exemplary. He works hard for his clients, and fights for what is right. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs representation in an accident or medical malpractice case.

I was in a wreck on a Friday night of a holiday weekend. I submitted a consultation form online that same weekend and I met with Stephanie on Monday, which was a holiday. Right then I knew I needed to hire her for my case. Stephanie hit the ground running and was able to secure video footage of my accident, proving the other individual at fault. Because of Stephanies fast, prompt and diligent work, she was able to get me the settlement I deserved and then some, within 6 months of my accident, without even having to step foot in a court room. Should I ever find myself in another situation where I need a lawyer, Stephanie at Shay & Associates will be the only place I’ll go to.

I have known Tim Shay for over 25 years and have been a client twice. Tim and his staff took my case seriously and worked tirelessly for two years, explaining all the nuances of the settlement process, dealing with insurance payments for the myriad of injuries sustained, and bringing my case to a satisfactory settlement. Many thanks to Tim and his staff for all their hard work; they are second to none!

Tim Shay went above and beyond for me. He is a genuinely great guy and outstanding attorney. He is down to earth, easy to talk to, as well as extremely knowledgeable and helpful! His staff is so kind and courteous as well! Thank you very much for everything! I really can’t say enough how wonderful my experience with this firm was.

Mr. Shay and Stephanie recently represented me in a very emotional case. They, along with Corey and Carmen, were amazing. They were by my side offering guidance through the entire process as well as emotional support. They are good people who work tirelessly to see that justice is served. I highly recommend them as I could not imagine having a better experience or outcome with anyone else. I came away from this experience feeling like my voice was heard and justice was served on my late husband’s behalf. I will be forever grateful for the time they spent and the continuous caring support they gave me.

If you're looking for a hardworking attorney that is personable, you found your guy!! Mr. Shay was very kind, always returned emails/calls in a timely manner, always spoke to me with the warmest regard. The firm was able to do an amazing job in a very minimal period of time. He always informed me of my options & educated me on possibilities without speaking to me in a condescending manner. I would 100% recommend & return if needed!!

If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney, then I strongly recommend SHAY+ASSOCIATES. When I first put in for a consultation Tim called me to ask about my case even though he was on vacation. I was able to meet with someone that day. Stephanie was great through the whole process and communicated thoroughly. This was my first time dealing with anything like this and she was very good at explaining everything and even set up a time to call so I could ask any questions that I might have. I am very satisfied with the turnout for my case using this law firm. Thank you so much SHAY+ASSOCIATES, especially Stephanie for all the hard work you put into my case.

I had a great experience working with Tim and Corey. They were professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to my case.

Highly recommended!

This legal team went above and beyond to help me get a settlement that ensured I was justly compensated for my injuries and lost wages. Tim was really effective during the settlement negotiations. He was honest about the value of my case and what the pros/cons were of going to trial. Neither Tim nor Stephanie pressured me to take a settlement and gave me ample time to think about the final offer at hand. In the end, I accepted the settlement and feel that I received a large compensation for my injuries. The fees for the lawyer’s services were less than I had expected and I walked away from this experience with much more than predicted on the day of the settlement.“
