Richard Victor
His firm bio says he focuses exclusively on workers’ compensation claims, and his listed practice areas are workers’ compensation, work injuries and delivery driver work injury. He does not hold himself out as a rideshare or car accident lawyer. His firm does publish rideshare content; he is not named on it. Forty-one years at the bar — second longest here after Clifford.
The bar record
We read Richard Victor in the public register of the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. This is what it says.
and pending proceedings
What the ARDC will and won’t stand behind. It enumerates what that discipline line covers: all public discipline, court-ordered disability inactive status, reinstatement and restoration dispositions, and pending public proceedings — with no cut-off date. It then says investigations are confidential and that information about whether one exists is not available. So “None” means the register shows no public discipline and no pending public proceeding. It does not mean no complaint was ever made. We report the register, not an inference from it.
The insurance line is his, not the register’s. Illinois publishes a malpractice-insurance field, which most registers do not — but read its wording. It says the attorney reported at annual registration that he or his firm maintains cover. The ARDC is publishing his answer, not verifying it. Arizona and Washington publish an insurance field too; Illinois is the one that names whose claim it is.
What the record shows
This is the second listing on the site where the lawyer’s own practice does not match the directory. John-Paul Gustad in Seattle is the first — his firm leads with Social Security Disability and VA claims and publishes no rideshare content at all, and his listing says so.Verified
Victor’s case is different in one respect and worth separating out: his firm does publish a dedicated Chicago Uber car accident page, and a 2021 piece on a fatal crash that killed a rideshare passenger on DuSable Lake Shore Drive. What it does not do is attach either to him.Verified
One of his three listed practice areas is delivery driver work injury — gig work seen from the workers’ compensation side rather than the passenger’s.Verified
What the firm says
His bio says that over a career of more than 30 years he has tried cases before the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission and argued on administrative and appellate review to the Illinois Circuit Courts, Appellate Courts and the Illinois Supreme Court.Reported
He says he is a member of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Association and that he previously managed the workers’ compensation department of another injury firm.Reported
His bio gives John Marshall Law School, 1984, and Case-Western Reserve University, 1981.Reported
