Why Crystal Lake Chooses Shindler & Shindler

When an accident upends your life, you need attorneys who know the local terrain as well as they know the law. From the heavy traffic on Route 14 to the recreational risks at Three Oaks, we know where the dangers lie.

We coordinate directly with the Crystal Lake Police Department to secure accident reports, subpoena footage from businesses along Northwest Highway, and work with specialists at Northwestern Medicine to document the full extent of your injuries. That hometown insight, backed by aggressive litigation strategies, secures the results Crystal Lake residents deserve.

About Crystal Lake

Tracing its roots back to two separate communities settled in the 1830s, Crystal Lake was named for its waters, described by early settlers as “clear as crystal.” Today, it is a major commercial hub of over 41,000 residents, blending historic charm with modern growth. However, this growth has turned major arteries like Route 14 and Route 31 into some of McHenry County’s most congested—and crash-prone—corridors.

Crystal Lake Hotspots

Route 14 at Route 31

High-speed intersections here frequently see T-bone collisions and multi-vehicle pileups during rush hour.

Downtown & Metra Crossings

Distracted drivers often cause rear-end crashes near the Main Street railroad crossings when gates come down.

Three Oaks Recreation Area

Seasonal spikes in recreational accidents and slip-and-falls occur near water entry points and parking lots.

Client Testimonials

I’ve known Rob for over 20 years, and during that time, I’ve watched him and his brother Keith help countless people navigate their challenges. Referring someone to a professional is always a big deal, but I’ve never hesitated to send my family and friends to these two.

I was in an auto accident and felt like nobody was listening to my concerns. When Rob got recommended to me, I was expecting another half-hearted look at my case and was nervous about going. The entire first meeting, I had felt like I was meeting with an old friend.

From the start, Rob and Keith demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine dedication to my case. They took the time to explain every detail clearly, ensuring I fully understood each step, which gave me great confidence throughout the process. What truly stood out was their unwavering commitment to my success.
