If I’ve learned anything over the past 44 years practicing law it’s that clients want to be treated as individuals and have their fears and concerns addressed in timely and respectful way. Of course they want their case to be taken care of as quickly as possible and they deserve a lawyer who will do that and be available to meet with them, answer their questions and explain their options all the way through.. I’ve spent time on both sides of the table so I’m able to conduct effective pretrial negotiations and outflank opposing counsel in the courtroom. This unique combination of skills can be put to use for you.. I’ve been admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, the Courts of the State of Illinois, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit..

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.. On a personal level, if I'm not working I can be found riding one of my several bicycles.  I average 200 miles per week in the summer and less in the winter but will still go out as long as it's not too slippery.. 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.

I have successfully tried several cases at Arbitration, taken numerous depositions of witnesses including experts and obtained successful results on numerous complex contested motions. I handle court appearances in circuit court throughout the state of Illinois and at the Industrial Commission on a regular basis. I have also played an important role in many large settlements. Prior to being admitted to the bar in 2013, I externed for Judge Clare McWilliams in the Civil Division of the Cook County Circuit Court, and worked for the McLean County States Attorney’s Office in the felony drug division, securing a felony conviction. I also clerked for a firm specializing in asbestos litigation.. I was recently quoted in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin on the evolving law of distracted driving in Illinois.

I have over 30 years of experience as a trial lawyer, almost all of it spent exclusively handling medical malpractice cases. After getting my law degree from Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, Illinois, in 1988, I moved to Arizona where I worked as a medical malpractice defense lawyer. I stayed there until 1994 when I returned to Chicago and worked briefly for Chicago’s Seyfarth, Shaw doing general commercial litigation work. I quickly discovered that big, commercial case litigation as well as the large law firm life were not for me.. In 1995, I returned to my trial lawyer roots and joined Cirignani, Heller & Harman where I once again specialize in medical malpractice cases. Both of my law partners have medical backgrounds: Stan is a medical doctor, and Jim was once a respiratory therapist. When I say that I specialize in medical malpractice I mean that it is the only kind of work my firm and I do. We don’t handle auto accidents, slip and falls, product liability, truck accidents, plane and train accident cases—only medical malpractice. Personally, I made the choice to focus my efforts on medical litigation alone because when I was a defense lawyer representing doctors and hospitals I saw first-hand how the experience and expertise of the plaintiff’s lawyer mattered more than anything else to a successful outcome for victims of medical malpractice.. Since returning to medical litigation, I’ve successfully handled a wide variety of medical malpractice cases, including: birth injuries like cerebral palsy, operating room fires, brain injuries, hospital mistakes, medication mistakes, misdiagnoses, stroke injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis injuries, anesthesia injuries, and wrongful death.

I have been handling civil jury trials for 40 years.  The highest level of compliment that I have received over these years has come from clients that express their gratification of the work that I have done on their behalf.  I have a collection of notes and letters from individuals who have gone out of their way to thank me and my staff for a job well done. Those notes and letters remain the highest level of praise for my devotion to clients and in helping them solve their issues and concerns. I truly cherish those compliments.. Whether I am helping someone on the phone solve an issue or doing pro bono work, I sincerely enjoy helping people.  In my practice I come in contact with people from all walks of life.  This includes experts in technical and sophisticated areas of science or medicine. I have represented truck drivers, factory workers, house wives, the unemployed, the disabled, children of all ages, engineers, cab drivers, bike messengers and business executives and professionals. I believe that I treat all of my clients with respect and show each of them that I am responsible, reliable, honest and forthcoming.  I am also tenacious and hardworking when it comes to the cases I handle for my clients.

I am fascinated by the law and I enjoy fighting to protect the rights of my clients.  Whether you are charged with first degree murder or a misdemeanor marijuana case, I always give 100%.

I became a lawyer to help people. People who have suffered life-changing injuries. People who are accused of crimes. In both situations you are going against a mighty opponent (rich/greedy insurance companies or the government).. I pride myself in attentive and personal representation. Be assured I will aggressively protect your rights and fight for a just outcome. Most cases are resolved either through a settlement or plea agreement and sometimes that is the right choice, but sometimes it's not. That being said it is imperative you retain a lawyer who is willing and able to take your case to trial.

I am a life-long Chicagoan who has represented the Chicago Bar Association and the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce as General Counsel.  Representing the business and legal interests of the city has been particularly rewarding.  My family is active in the civic community and this is a great shared interest.

I am a Chicago native who grew up with a machinist father and a stay at home mother. I value hard work, integrity, getting your hands dirty, and a firm handshake. Growing up, my parents pushed me to be an attorney, and now, I push myself to represent my clients as effectively and fairly as possible. I understand that circumstances which would require you to hire an attorney are never easy times in life, but I try to make the process as pain free, transparent, and efficient as possible. Having been in two motorcycle accidents myself, and having an attorney who made me feel like my case did not matter, I now realize and value the importance of helping people in their time of need to the best of my ability. I promise your case will matter to me, and I will approach it with the utmost respect and fervor. Clients are simply numbers to way too many attorneys. This is not how I practice. Allow me to represent you, and I will show you what big city law mixed with small town work ethic can accomplish.
