Raul V. Rodriguez

As the son of Latin American immigrants, Raul has built a special bond with Chicago’s Latino community. He was one of a handful of lawyers chosen by Mexico’s Department of the Exterior to be Consultant Attorney (“Abogado Consultor”) for the Mexican Consulate of Chicago. In this role, Raul helped the Consulate develop labor initiatives in the Chicagoland area and frequently educated Latino workers on their rights under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.

In addition to Workers’ Compensation, Raul has practiced corporate transactional law and commercial litigation. As such, he has had an inside look into the way companies operate, which provides him with a strategic advantage when representing injured workers.

Raul has earned many distinctions throughout his career. He was featured in Hispanic Executive Magazine’s “Latinos in the Law” issues in 2012 and 2014. Raul was also selected as one of Super Lawyers Magazine’s “Rising Stars” from 2013 to 2016, placing him among the top 2.5% of all attorneys under 40 years old. He has repeatedly been included in Leading Lawyers Magazine’s list of “Emerging Lawyers,” honoring attorneys who have proven themselves professional, ethical, and experienced at an early point in their legal career.

Raul received his Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the University of Florida and his Juris Doctorate from DePaul University College of Law. He is a Board Member of Distinctively College Bound, NFP, a Chicago-based nonprofit that provides scholarships to fund afterschool activities for underprivileged children.

Raul lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter. They enjoy traveling, running, college football, and World Cup soccer. In his spare time, Raul writes for a college football blog and runs a podcast for a fifty-person college football league.
