John Spesia is a lifelong resident of Will County. He graduated from the University of Denver Law School with high academic honors as a member of the Order of St. Ives. Upon graduation, Spesia was selected to serve as a Law Clerk to a Federal District Judge in Chicago, where he had hands-on training in Federal Court procedures and trial matters.. Since joining Spesia & Taylor in 1991, he has focused his practice on negligence cases, including automobile, trucking and motorcycle collisions; medical and dental malpractice; and nursing home abuse, recovering millions of dollars on behalf of victims of negligence. He has tried injury cases in Cook, Will, Grundy, and McDonough Counties, as well as in California. He secured a $4.1 million jury verdict on behalf of the family of a 44 year old woman killed in an automobile collision caused by a county sheriff's deputy.  The verdict was the largest in the history of the six counties that make up the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Illinois.   A few of his other accomplishments include a $4.5 million settlement, a judgment for more than $3.1 million on behalf of the widow of a businessman killed in a trucking collision, and an $800,000 settlement for a 68 year old automobile crash victim. Spesia also recovered over $1.1 million for a motorcycle passenger severely injured in a collision. In addition, he  recovered over $1 million for a 40-year-old victim of medical malpractice and won a $700,000 jury verdict in another medical negligence case.. Spesia has briefed and argued cases in the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth District Appellate Courts and twice argued landmark cases in the Illinois Supreme Court, including a recent case in 2009 that resulted in a recovery of over $900,000. Along with Kent Slater, a retired Justice of the Third District Appellate Court, Spesia has won multiple appeals in the Third District Appellate Court.. Watch this video featuring John Spesia arguing a case in front of the Illinois Supreme Court:. Over the years, Spesia has also been involved in litigation to acquire property using eminent domain authority for multi-billion dollar pipeline projects and has tried pipeline eminent domain cases in circuit courts across Illinois, including in Will, Kankakee, Livingston, McLean and DeWitt Counties. Mr. Spesia has represented numerous pipeline companies, including Enbridge Energy, Alliance Pipeline, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, Kinder Morgan, Enterprise Products and Explorer. He is well versed in property rights issues and the prosecution of eminent domain matters.. Along with the Spesia & Taylor litigation team, Spesia recently filed seventy-six pipeline eminent domain cases across Illinois. As a result of an efficient and effective discovery and trial strategy, access for purposes of construction was achieved on all of the pending cases within fourteen months. All of the cases filed across seven counties were resolved by summary judgment or trial within nine and fifteen months from the date they were filed. In the cases resulting in final judgment orders, Spesia and his team limited the judgments to only $1.2 million where landowners and their counsel had demanded more than $59 million in damages. During the same project, Spesia was involved in a landmark appellate case that resulted in the pipeline company acquiring access to construct its pipeline prior to a resolution on just compensation – the first time in the history of Illinois that this has ever been done.. During his career, John has been named one of “40 Under 40” Illinois Attorneys to Watch and elected one of Illinois’ SuperLawyers®. He has received an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell American Law Directory, the highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards.

Most people who meet me know me as a husband and father of two daughters.  I'm a "dance dad" and softball coach, who likes to work hard fighting for my clients.  I also love to exercise.  I started going to CrossFit in March of 2016 and have lost over 70 pounds.  I also happen to be a highly reviewed attorney in the area, as well as the recipient of several honors, incuding being named a “Rising Star” attorney by Illinois Super Lawyers magazine, a designation limited to less than 2.5% of lawyers under 40 years of age in the State of Illinois and as an Emerging Lawyer by Leading Lawyers and recently the firm was named by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best law firms in 2017.. I have spent my career practicing law in courtrooms and Illinois Workers' Compensation settings throughout Illinois, including Chicago, Dupage, Kane, Kendall, Will, Grundy and many more counties.  When I am not busy fighting for the rights of my clients, you can usually find me supporting my daughters at a dance competition or coaching softball.   I love coaching softball as it gives me the opportunity to teach the girls the proper way to play the game as well as pass on my knowledge as a former collegiate baseball player at North Central College, Go Cardinals!  If I am not doing one of the above you can find me working hard at the gym.. I also have a typical attorney story as well, I am a 2008 graduate of the Hamline University School of Law (after attending North Central College for undergraduate work).  Since that time my practice area has been exclusively workers' compensation and personal injury.  I concentrate my practice on representing those who are injured by others.
