George King

George represents people who were hurt because someone else was careless. His work focuses on helping clients understand the legal process, protect their claims, and pursue fair compensation after an injury.

He regularly helps clients with cases involving:

• motor vehicle accidents
• Car accidents
• Trucking and commercial vehicle accidents
• Wrongful death
• Brain injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Serious bodily injury claims

George has a particular interest in wrongful death, trucking, and motor vehicle accident cases.

George’s role is to advocate for the client and handle the legal process so the client can focus on recovery.

Clients often appreciate that George takes time to understand how an injury has affected their life. Every client has different concerns, pressures, and priorities. George makes a point to understand those issues early because they help shape the way the case should be handled.

His approach is compassionate but practical. He wants clients to feel heard, informed, and supported while their case moves forward.

Insurance is a business.

George wants injured people to understand that insurance companies evaluate claims from their own perspective. Their interests are not the same as the injured person’s interests.

George’s job is to evaluate the case with the client’s recovery, needs, and long-term interests at the center of every decision.

Motor Vehicle Accident Cases

George handles cases involving people injured in crashes throughout the Greater Chicago area. These cases may involve car accidents, trucking accidents, commercial vehicles, and other motor vehicle collisions.

Premises Liability Cases

George represents people hurt because of unsafe property conditions. These cases can involve falls, dangerous walkways, negligent security, unsafe premises, or other hazards that should have been corrected or warned about.

Wrongful Death Cases

George helps with cases involving families who have lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence. These cases require careful attention, compassion, and strong advocacy for the family left behind.

Serious Injury Cases

George handles cases involving serious injuries, including brain injuries, neck and back injuries, and other injuries that affect a person’s health, work, family life, and future.

Before joining Vito & Dollenmaier Law, George served as a law clerk and later as Of Counsel at Dolan Law P.C. in Chicago.

His background includes civil litigation involving serious personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, premises liability, negligent security, hidden cameras, whistleblower matters, and motor vehicle collisions. He also worked on civil claims for crime victims and their families, including cases arising from shootings and allegations of institutional negligence.

That experience helped George develop a careful, client-focused approach to litigation and advocacy.

George has also contributed to local publications, including Clarendon Hills Living, and previously served as sports section editor of The Paladin, Furman University’s student newspaper.

George became a lawyer because he has always been interested in how arguments are built, how reasoning works, and how different interpretations can change the outcome.

For George, the law gives that interest a real purpose. Legal arguments are not just academic. They affect people’s lives. Becoming a lawyer gave him the opportunity to use careful analysis, persuasive writing, and advocacy to help people who need someone on their side.

George is drawn to the challenge of understanding a client’s situation, anticipating the arguments from the other side, and advancing the client’s case with conviction.

George appreciates the opportunity to stand up for injured people against insurance companies and other powerful interests.

After an injury, people may be dealing with medical treatment, missed work, financial stress, and uncertainty about what comes next. George helps make that difficult situation more manageable by taking responsibility for the legal process, explaining options, and making sure clients have someone advocating for them.

Helping clients feel heard, informed, and supported while working toward a resolution is meaningful work.

George grew up in Hinsdale and called the Chicago area home for more than ten years before his family moved south. He now lives in Arlington Heights and returned to Illinois to build his legal career in the community he considers home.

George takes pride in his Chicago roots and values the opportunity to represent people throughout the Greater Chicago area.

Outside the office, George enjoys playing golf and spending time with family and friends. He is also an avid Chicago sports fan and can often be found at a Bears, Bulls, or White Sox game in his free time.
