Matthew Randall Basinger

Matt Basinger has been a pillar at Shapiro, Cohen & Basinger since 2007, stepping into a partner role back in 2012. He didn’t start out in personal injury, though. Matt actually cut his teeth as a prosecutor in Cleveland, which is where he really learned how to handle himself in a courtroom. Since moving to Chicago in 2005, he’s shifted his focus entirely to helping people who have been hurt by medical mistakes, car crashes, or wrongful death. He’s licensed in both Illinois and Ohio and is known for being a trial attorney who isn’t afraid to take a case all the way to a verdict. When he isn’t fighting for his clients, Matt stays busy at home with his wife and three kids. He’s also deeply involved in his local community, serving as an elected member of his school board. That same dedication he shows to his neighbors is exactly what he brings to every case he handles. He’s the kind of lawyer who combines courtroom toughness with a genuine desire to help families move forward after a tragedy.
