Athenamarie is a personal injury attorney dedicated to helping injured individuals and families pursue justice after serious accidents, negligence, and wrongful death. Born and raised in the northwest suburbs of Illinois, she earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Eastern Illinois University and her Juris Doctor from Northern Illinois University College of Law.
Before joining Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, Athenamarie spent years as a healthcare defense attorney in Chicago, where she concentrated on nursing home abuse, neglect, and wrongful death cases. She was also one of two attorneys chosen to lead a successful risk management team focused on analyzing pre-suit matters. That experience gives her a deep understanding of how injury claims are evaluated, challenged, and defended.
Now representing plaintiffs, Athenamarie uses her background to help personal injury clients navigate difficult times with confidence, clarity, and empathy. Her experience in both personal injury law and healthcare defense allows her to build strong cases and advocate for those harmed by negligence.
Outside the office, Athenamarie enjoys traveling, volunteering, and spending time with her loved ones, including her husband and two dogs.

“The insurance company is not your friend. Do you know why?”
They were there for me when I was hurt in a car crash. I had to go buy a new car, had to deal with new health issues and personal issues that came from a car crash. The last thing I needed to do was deal with the insurance company alone and get the $1,300 they offered me. With the help of Pemberton and his amazing associates got me $20,000 for my case! Thanks for helping me get more and listening and understanding me when I felt like the insurance company wouldn’t.
In 2006 Will opened Pemberton Law Offices, a law firm that would represent the people. Since that time, Will has secured many settlements and verdicts for his injured clients. As a result of his successes, he has earned the respect of his clients and his peers, as evidenced by his “Superb” rating from AVVO, and his Pre-eminent client-rating from Martindale-Hubbell. In addition, the National Trial Lawyers included him on its list of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers and Super Lawyers has selected him for 10 consecutive years to the top 5% of attorneys in the nation
Attorney William Pemberton represented me for a car accident I was involved in. The insurance company was trying to pull the cover over my eyes. Attorney Pemberton handled everything from the beginning and more than quadrupled the money I received from the insurance company. In addition, the staff at Pemberton & Englund was fantastic through the whole process. I highly recommend.
