About Abdu-Raheem A-R
Abdu-Raheem A-R Igbadume built his path to law through study and steady advancement. He earned a B.S. in Political Science from Kennesaw State University and went on to receive a J.D. from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. Those formative years set the tone for a practical approach to legal work and clear attention to procedure.
He is licensed to practice in Illinois. He maintains active membership in the Illinois Bar, the Chicago Bar Association, and the Workers Compensation Law Association. Those affiliations reflect the professional networks he uses to stay current on changes in state practice and procedural rules.
Igbadume joined Horwitz Horwitz & Associates and has since worked at that firm on matters arising under state workers’ compensation law. His work includes preparing claims, filing the necessary pleadings, and representing clients at hearings and mediations. He handles interactions with insurers and opposing counsel, and he follows administrative processes to move cases toward resolution.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation. He prioritizes gathering medical records, employment histories, and other documentation that tends to be pivotal in compensation hearings. He also takes time to explain procedures and timelines to clients so they understand the steps ahead.
On the professional side, his memberships give him access to continuing legal education programs and committee work within the Chicago legal community. He attends seminars and workshops that cover changes in Illinois workers’ compensation statutes and administrative rulings. Those activities support his courtroom work and inform his legal strategy.
His courtroom and hearing experience is matched by routine case management tasks. He drafts motions and exhibits, coordinates with medical experts when needed, and monitors claim deadlines. In office, he works with support staff to keep claims on track and to respond to client questions in a timely manner.
Igbadume’s trajectory is straightforward: academic training in political science and law, bar admission in Illinois, and steady practice at Horwitz Horwitz & Associates. He remains part of the Illinois legal community through bar and association memberships. He currently practices workers’ compensation and related matters at Horwitz Horwitz & Associates.
