Levin & Perconti welcomes new partner Kelly Sabo Gaden to the firm. 

With 14 years of experience in handling nursing home, medical malpractice and other personal injury matters, Sabo Gaden adds further depth to the firm’s already industry-leading practice in representing nursing home residents and their loved ones. Over the course of her career, she has secured more than $50 million in jury verdicts and settlements for clients who have been seriously or fatally injured in long term care facilities. 

Before joining Levin & Perconti, Sabo Gaden led the long term care and medical malpractice group at a plaintiff’s nursing home firm in Chicago, where she obtained several record-setting verdicts on behalf of her clients, including a $1 million verdict that was the highest-ever verdict in Illinois for a hip fracture without death.  

Levin & Perconti is nationally known for its pioneering work on behalf of nursing home residents and holds multiple records for verdicts and settlements in the practice area. Last year, the firm was ranked by Jury Verdict Reporter among the top five plaintiff’s firm in Illinois and noted for having secured more settlements of $500,000 and up than any other law firm in the state.  

With Sabo Gaden, the firm’s partnership now includes 11 members, five of whom are women. 

Sabo Gaden is dedicated to the professional advancement of young lawyers, particularly women. As a mentor and an active member of the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, she helps organize events to provide networking opportunities for women lawyers to connect and learn from one another. She is also involved with the Illinois Trial Lawyers’ Association, the American Association for Justice and its Nursing Home Litigation Group, and the Illinois State Bar Association.
