Taylor R. Matichak

As a fearless advocate and supporter of workers’ rights, Taylor R. Matichak focuses her practice exclusively on work injuries.

Her relentless support of workers’ rights began in early childhood after her father, an ironworker with Local 444, suffered serious and permanent injuries on a jobsite in a construction accident. Experiencing first-hand the many challenges that injured workers and their families face is the reason Taylor decided at a young age to pursue law school. Her own experiences allow her to clearly understand and effectively communicate the needs of our clients. She truly cares for the injured workers she represents and commits herself to every case with compassion and diligence.

Born and raised southwest of Chicago, Taylor received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia. After college, she moved back home and earned her J.D. at The John Marshall Law School, graduating with honors certificates in both trial advocacy and alternative means of dispute resolution. During law school, she worked full-time – clerking at a personal injury firm and waitressing on nights and weekends. Since being admitted to the bar, Taylor has tried several workers’ compensation cases and obtained favorable results for her clients. She is an active member of the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, serving as Editor in Chief of the WBAI Newsletter 2021-2022. In March 2022, she was appointed to the Workers’ Compensation Lawyers’ Association “Young Lawyers Society” and currently serves on the board. Additionally, she is actively involved with the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and Illinois State Bar Association.

In her free time, Taylor loves to golf, dance, and spend time with friends and family. She dances professionally at Dance for Pros in Chicago.
