Jeffrey Lust

Jeffrey Lust is the Managing Attorney for New Business at Ankin Law in Chicago and a Chicago native who returned home after a roughly 40-year legal career largely spent in Louisiana and Texas. He originally went to Indiana University in Bloomington with plans to become a doctor before pursuing law at Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans. After early experience in insurance defense, he transitioned to plaintiff personal injury practice — inspired in part by witnessing the resilience of New Orleans residents rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina — and spent seven years with one of Louisiana's most prominent plaintiff personal injury firms before joining Ankin Law to handle Illinois personal injury matters.
