Susan L. Novosad

Susan L. Novosad, Of Counsel, is a highly respected personal injury and wrongful death attorney in Chicago. With nearly 40 years of legal experience, she is known for her compassionate advocacy and relentless pursuit of justice for victims of medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and catastrophic personal injury cases. Susan is also recognized for her exceptional negotiation skills, helping clients secure fair settlements while resolving disputes effectively.

Susan’s legal career is deeply rooted in family. After working as an elementary school teacher for gifted students, she joined her brother, renowned attorney Steve Levin, to explore the practice of law. She later attended John Marshall Law School at night, passing the bar in 1986—while pregnant with her first child—on the same day the Chicago Bears won the Super Bowl. Today, she has been married to Steve Novosad for over 40 years and is the proud mother of three grown children.

Susan’s dedication to her clients extends beyond the courtroom, fostering relationships that last for decades. Her first medical malpractice trial involved a brachial plexus birth injury, where she fought for a young girl who suffered nerve damage to her spinal cord, neck, and arm. Years later, Susan received the young woman’s college graduation announcement, a testament to the lasting impact of her work.

Susan’s commitment to her clients is evident in the relationships that last well beyond the scope of her cases—sometimes for decades. Her first medical malpractice trial involved a brachial plexus birth injury to an infant, which caused nerve damage in her spinal cord, neck and arm. The trial concluded when the girl was just three years old, but Susan recently received the young woman’s college graduation announcement. The family has stayed in touch with Susan all these years, and believe that the successful outcome of the trial improved the quality of their daughter’s life.
