Ankin Law Came Through for Nicole’s Daughter

A mother’s nightmare came true for Nicole T. early in 2025, but luckily a Google search brought some relief to a tough situation.

That’s how she found Ankin Law after her 13-year-old daughter was struck by a car on the south side of Chicago coming home from school. Knowing she’d need a lawyer familiar with pedestrian accidents, Nicole went to the web and searched for a lawyer.

Nicole found Ankin Law thanks to several strong Google Review and she gave us a call. 

Attorney Maria Merman and legal assistant Adrianna Carrillo took it from there, getting her daughter the right medical treatment along with a settlement in a little over a year.

“She was very informative. She kept me updated every step of the way. She was very communicative,” said Nicole of Maria and Adrianna. “She was just wonderful.”
