Prior to starting Kaluzny Law, Anna worked for judges in the State of Illinois Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago, Illinois, which was the busiest state court house in the nation at the time in 2008, as well as judges in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, which was the busiest bankruptcy court in the nation for individual bankruptcy filings at the time in 2010. The biggest reason for bankruptcy filings and state court foreclosure or eviction cases was illness or injury causing medical debt and lost wages. Accordingly, Anna decided to work as injury attorney in Illinois to try and help injured people avoid bankruptcy and foreclosure or eviction. By concentrating in liability and workers' compensation claims over the last 8 years, Anna can successfully assist those who are entitled to compensation under Illinois law to get the best settlement or award before they suffer significant debt related problems.
