I've been a lifelong resident of Cook County, born and raised on the northwest side of the city. After graduating from law school, I worked as a prosecutor in Cook County.  I've taken what I've learned there to represent my clients vigorously. I pride myself in helping my clients get results.

I am currently in the final stages of launching a virtual law office at my firm.

I'm a Chicagoland native born and raised, now happy to offer my legal services to the community I love.  In my free time I enjoy fitness and weightlifting, riding my motorcycle, and trading stocks and cryptocurrencies.

I work with clients to find solutions and opportunities in connection
with business transactions, business disputes, litigation, financial
instruments, and commercial bankruptcy and out of court workouts. My
clients have included lenders, real estate concerns, trustees,
collateral agents, trade creditors, creditors committees, receivers,
asset and claim purchasers and sellers, equity interests, and others in
complex default matters throughout the country. I have substantial
experience representing corporate trustees in bond default situations,
where management of both the asset and of bondholder communications is
critical. In addition, I assist businesses and not for profits in litigation,
corporate and transactional matters, and as general outside counsel,
advising on corporate governance, board and committee structure,
bylaws, employment, fund-raising, regulatory, grievance, and other
operational and administrative matters. I served as co-chair of a large law firm's Pro Bono Committee and
administrator of its Midwest pro bono practice, and remain invested in
the pro bono legal services community.

I was raised on the Northwest side of Chicago by hard working blue-collar parents that both worked full time to support our family. I have seen firsthand the frustration and difficulties people face when living paycheck to paycheck trying to support a family. I have also seen the burden placed on a family when one of the bread winners is injured and cannot work. When I was a child, my father was injured by a defective and improperly maintained step right outside our apartment. His injury required that he wear a cast on his leg. As a delivery driver, this meant he could not work to support us. He initially did not know what to do. I would hear him and my mother ask each other:           Who will pay the medical bills?             How will we survive on one paycheck?             Who will pay us while you are off work?             How will we make the rent next month?             How will the kids eat? For a long time, these questions went unanswered. I saw my family in the lowest of lows ever experienced. Savings were depleted. They borrowed money from anyone they could. These hard working parents having to borrow money to stay afloat really made them feel as if they lost their dignity. It wasn't until they found a personal injury attorney who was able to help them get their life back on track. My father's bills were paid, his lost wages, were compensated, he received a settlement, and he was able to pay back all of his loans. More importantly, he regained his dignity. I knew right there that I wanted to be a lawyer that would fight for injured people and help them get their life back on track if they ever suffered the misfortune of being hurt while working or as a result of someone else’s carelessness.. I graduated from Loyola University School of Law here in Chicago with Honors and an emphasis on Trial Advocacy. I received a Certificate in Trial Advocacy and the CALI Award for Litigation Technology. When I graduated from law school, my goal was simple, help injured people regain their dignity and get their life back on track. I understand the difficulties families face when someone is injured. I understand that a personal injury claim is not only about money. I understand that when you are hurt, you will have multiple questions and concerns that will need to be addressed. Having lived through it first hand, I can help you answer those difficult questions and help you regain your dignity.

I view myself as well-rounded in the area of Family Law and am committed to offering my client’s the highest level of professionalism and preparedness.  I feel I bring a welcome balance of compassion and knowledge to my clients involved in complex Family Law related matters and am a Founding Member of the American Academy for Certified Financial Litigators. From simple non-contested divorces to some of the most high profile disputes involving multi-million dollar businesses, I have experience in complicated issues of: divorce, enforcing or changing terms of an existing court order, custody of children, parenting time (visitation), child support, spousal maintenance (alimony), grandparent's rights, paternity, pre-nuptial agreements and many others concerning marriages, divorce, children, and families.

I value my clients and aggressively defend their rights.  I strive to resolve issues quickly with the least amount of expense.  Usually, by the end of the case, my clients consider me not only as their lawyer, but also as their friend.. I am licensed to practice in all Illinois Courts, the US Court of Appeals -7th Circuit, and before the  United States Supreme Court.

I try very hard to provide the highest quality service to my clients at a reasonable price.  With advanced degrees in sciences, strong legal education and training, and many years of industrial experience as a scientist and inventor, I have what it takes to produce a top quality work product consistently and to the satisfaction of the clients.   Preparing patent application is a serious task and I have spent most of my legal career on that activity.  When you want a quality patent application, you cannot entrust it to someone who prosecutes patents only as a second choice.

I strive to know and understand my cilents' needs so that I am able to advocate for those specific needs to the best of my ability. I work to ensure my clients understand the legal concepts and strategies involved in their cases. It is my goal to fully understand my cilents, attend to their needs, and create strategies to get them where they need to be.

I started my professional life in 1979 with a social work degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I soon felt that, as a social worker, I was not going to be able to make a lasting difference in people's lives.. I graduated from The John Marshall Law School in 1983 and participated in the DuPage County Medical Society mini-internship program. This experienced confirmed for me that medical malpractice law was what I wanted to do, and I've been working exclusively in medical malpracticein the Chicagoland area since am a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the Illinois State Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association, as well as a member of the referral panel for medical love the work I do and am devoted to securing the best possible verdict or settlement for my clients and their families. I have achieved a favorable financial outcome in 95% of the cases I've handled. While every case is unique and results can vary, I believe my high success rate is due to the fact that I am very selective about the cases I handle and dedicate myself to each client and family I advantage of working as a sole practitioner is that my clients are never just a number to me. I provide personal attention and continuity over the life of your legal case and beyond. Resolving a medical malpractice lawsuit can take years. I am with you through the entire process.

They have demonstrated courage, strength, and persistence in surviving medical challenges, facing loss and grief, and seeking recovery. When I think of my clients, I think of that amazing quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt that I chose for this Web site:. You gain strength, courage and confidenceby every experience in which you reallystop to look fear in the face.You are able to say to yourself:'I have lived through this horror.I can take the next thing that comes along.'You must do the thing you think you cannot do.~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I pride myself on being accessable to my clients at their convenience.  I have always believed that a client should be able to contact me with any questions that they have and that I have an obligation to respond quickly.. I have given my cell phone number many, many times so that I can be reached as needed.  I find that clients appreciate that personal touch.  Often times I return calls late at night or on weekends if that's the only available time.. My concentration is Workers' Compensation law.  After 31 years in this practice I would like to say that I've seen it all, but I'm sure that I have not.. Each day presents a new challange and new clients with their own specific, important problems..

I belong to several bike clubs in the area that vary in distance in speed.  One of the groups is a racing group and another is a travel group.  With the second group I have ridden in California, South Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, Toronto and Montreal.  We are currently planning next year's ride.
