Mayombo A. Mbanza, Esq.

Founder & Managing Attorney

Mayombo A. Mbanza is the founder and managing attorney of Mbanza Law, PLLC, an Illinois law firm with a growing focus on personal injury and wrongful death litigation. He represents individuals and families who have suffered serious injuries or the loss of a loved one because of the negligence, recklessness, or wrongful conduct of others.

Mayombo’s personal injury practice includes motor vehicle accidents, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, premises liability, negligent security, insurance claims and coverage disputes, and other injury-related litigation. He represents clients from the initial investigation and insurance claim through settlement negotiations and, when necessary, litigation in state and federal court.

A central part of Mayombo’s practice is taking on insurance companies and other defendants when injured individuals and their families are not being fairly compensated. He works to develop each case thoroughly by investigating liability, reviewing medical evidence, evaluating damages, working with appropriate professionals and experts, conducting discovery and depositions, and preparing cases for trial.

Mayombo understands that a serious injury can affect far more than a person’s physical health. It can disrupt employment, finances, family responsibilities, and a person’s ability to enjoy everyday life. His approach therefore focuses not only on the immediate medical expenses associated with an injury, but also on the full impact of the loss, including pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, lost income, future medical needs, and loss of normal life when supported by the facts and applicable law.

In wrongful death matters, Mayombo represents surviving family members seeking accountability and compensation for the devastating consequences of losing a loved one. He approaches these cases with particular attention to the financial, personal, and long-term consequences a death can have on a surviving spouse, children, and family.

Before expanding the firm’s personal injury practice, Mayombo developed substantial experience representing clients in immigration proceedings and complex civil matters. He has successfully advocated for individuals seeking asylum and other forms of immigration relief and has represented clients before the immigration courts and in immigration appeals. That experience has strengthened his ability to handle fact-intensive cases, prepare clients for testimony, conduct contested hearings, and advocate for individuals facing life-changing legal circumstances.

Mayombo also has experience in civil litigation, family law, criminal and traffic matters, and business disputes.

Mayombo founded Mbanza Law on the principle that clients deserve an attorney who will listen to them, understand what they have lost, communicate with them throughout the case, and be prepared to fight for them when an insurance company or opposing party refuses to take responsibility.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, Mbanza Law is prepared to investigate the case, protect your rights, and pursue the compensation available under the law.
