Daniel J. McDevitt Secures 11th Consecutive Super Lawyers Honor

McDevitt, a founding partner at the downtown firm McDevitt & Cobb, P.C., attributes his sustained professional standing to a strategy of direct client accessibility. Beyond the Super Lawyers designation, which identifies the top 5% of attorneys in the state through peer-influenced research, he holds a 9.2 Avvo rating and maintains membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. His career trajectory previously included a four-year stint as a Rising Star, a distinction limited to less than 3% of the Illinois bar.

This recognition arrives as Illinois faces persistent challenges regarding roadway safety. While national traffic fatalities experienced a 6.7% decline in 2025, state-level data paints a different picture: traffic deaths in Illinois rose significantly between 2018 and 2022. McDevitt’s practice focuses on navigating the resulting financial and physical burdens for families, ranging from traumatic brain injury claims to litigation under the Illinois Dram Shop Act. By blending the resources of a larger firm with boutique-style personal attention, his office continues to manage a broad spectrum of cases including construction accidents, medical malpractice, and complex motor vehicle liability.
