Ankin Law is proud to welcome a new workers’ compensation attorney to our roster in 2026.

Isaiah Harlan is a first-generation lawyer and is the first of his Galesburg, Illinois family to graduate from college. He did so at Bradley University, majoring in both political science and organizational communication, and it was there he found a desire to pursue his professional career.
Always interested in helping people, Isaiah decided to do so through the legal field, attending and graduating with a Juris Doctor from Northern Illinois University School of Law.
After starting in corporate law and corporate litigation, he made the decision to move to Ankin Law in late 2025. He’ll add to an already strong workers’ compensation department that’s the leading filer of cases in the State of Illinois.
“I love working here,” said Harlan of the firm. “The big thing that, I think, makes Ankin Law special, and separates us from other firms, are our people, and how we deal with not only each other, but our clients.”
