Personal Injury Lawyers in Springfield, Illinois & Decatur Illinois

First and foremost, I want to say thank you so very much for handling my case.

I originally talked with Tim Shay and I also talked with Nick. Both of which I was highly pleased with their professionalism. They both seamed to care about MY best interest.

Stephanie is the attorney that I dealt with the most. She is straight-forward with explaining what's going on, answering questions, and truly had my best interest first and foremost.

She was strong-willed and very aggressive when dealing with my (former) employer, and settled my lawsuit with an amount that was fair for my injury.

If anyone is ever in need of a good attorney, I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND calling Shay and Associates and talking with one of the attorneys there. As for me and my case they jumped in, got started and didn’t stop until it was settled!!

I wanna tell the world my awesome experience with the office of shay and associates!!
I am not an easy person to deal with, let's start there! But never once did the team let me down! I felt like I was talking to a family member when I came into the office! (Big shout out to Nicholas)
Thank you to the whole team! Your work improved my life! I pray I never have an accident again, but if I do I will not hesitate to call the team!!

5 stars!
Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Shay & Associates! From the very first phone call to make an appointment, I was treated with kindness and respect. When I met with Nick and Amy to talk about whether I had a workers’ comp case, they were so honest, friendly, and really took the time to walk me through what to expect.

It turned out I did have a case, and Nick and Amy were amazing through the whole process. They kept me informed every step of the way, worked hard, and always made me feel like my case mattered. Nick told me from the start it would be a tough one, but they didn’t hesitate to fight for me — and they won!

Whether it was in person, over the phone, or by email, I was always treated with kindness and kept in the loop. If you’re looking for a law firm that truly cares and fights for you, this is the one.

Shay & Associates are the best ...I had a work injury a few months ago and my lawyer Tim and his Assistant Amy worked diligently and promptly giving me the best results one could ask for ...they were consistent and patient and adamant about explaining the steps toward resolving my case...I will definitely recommend work colleagues and friends to this law firm in the near future, if they need Professional Lawyers to handle their case.

Shay & Associates Law Firm handled my Workers Compensation claim with the utmost care and professionalism. With Mr. Shay, Nick Williams, Amy, Corey and the entire staff by my side; I felt assured and confident. My case was given the attention necessary to achieve a positive outcome. If you are in need of legal services; I highly recommend this firm!

I recently had the privilege of working with the Shay and Associates team. They tirelessly navigated their way through the endless insurance company fighting and were able to secure a fair settlement. Many thanks to Stephanie Shay-Williams and the rest of the Shay team for their diligence and commitment on my behalf.

I cannot say enough to thank everyone at Shay and Associates, especially Stephanie, for helping me during a very difficult time following a severe work injury. I should have contacted them from the beginning days of my injury. I waited thinking all would be fine and I lost my job. Lesson learned, and here is some advice to others, if you are ever hurt at work, heaven forbid, call your doctor and then call Shay and Associates. Thank you again.

We met with Stephanie Shay-Williams for a free consultation. Stephanie advised us on our situation in a very professional and straightforward manner. We are grateful for the time she spent with us. Stephanie was an invaluable source of information.

When legal matters come up in the future, we will definitely turn to Shay & Associates.

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. They made the complex workers comp process much easier to navigate, providing clear guidance every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to secure a favorable outcome. 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.“
