My firm's history dates back to 1951, when William C. Murphy and Robert Hupp joined Frank Reid, Jr., and Lambert Ochsenschlager to form Reid, Ochsenschlager, Murphy & Hupp. Over the years, the firm grew and evolved to become one of the most prominent Illinois law firms outside of Chicago. We continue to prosper sixty years later by respecting both the past and the future.
Kinnally, Flaherty, Krentz & Loran is one of the premier law firms in the Chicagoland area. We have over a century's worth of experience and expertise in these select practice groups: personal injury & wrongful death, general & commercial litigation, workers' compensation, immigration & citizenship, business counseling and estate planning.
Our lawyers carry on a distinguished legacy of integrity and exceptional advocacy that both defines us and sets us apart. Our success is reflected in the difference we have made to countless people through a relentless pursuit of justice, record-setting multi-million dollar verdicts, and progressive changes in the law.
We are leaders in the community, bar associations and legal education. We have received the highest peer rating for skill and integrity, and many of our attorneys have been designated Leading Lawyers and Super Lawyers, signifying that they are among the top five percent of all Illinois lawyers in personal injury, general & commercial litigation and workers' compensation.
We provide the expertise, resources and facilities of a big city firm without the inconvenience and impersonality of downtown Chicago. We practice throughout the State of Illinois and outside Illinois in select cases.
We care passionately about people and the problems they face. We welcome the opportunity to help you in any of our specialty areas.

I find it more beneficial for clients to direct all of their questions to me. I will answer them or direct them to another professional who can if I don't feel I can adequately address their concerns.
I am very reluctant to review any client prepared documents.
I am very reluctant to coach clients who want to represent themselves.
My father thought I would be a good trial lawyer, so I chose to pursue this as a career.
The experience of working in factories during college has helped me appreciate the hard work done by many of my clients.
I chose to practice in the areas of workers compensation and personal injury because I enjoy working for individuals.
I like being able to help people during difficult times in their lives.
My secretary, Kathy, has been with me for almost 20 years, and is an invaluable resource to my clients and me.
My strengths are my passionate advocacy and attentiveness to my clients' needs and concerns.
I enjoy spending time with my family, and playing golf. I also enjoy volunteering at the Hesed House, which is a shelter for the homeless.
