The Associates

Team work and talent punctuate our comprehensive approach to legal services for our clients. We have a fine group of about 25 associate attorneys who provide invaluable support. Our associate attorneys belong to the local, state and national bar associations. They are admitted to practice in the State and Federal Courts in Illinois.

While we have recruited associates from schools throughout the nation, we are particularly proud of our successful recruits from our state institutions. Their legal education, maturity, work ethic, and motivation give the firm continuity and consistency in today's fast-paced litigation climate and a familiarity with local litigants.

Taking the time to work with our associates, we make certain that each receives a solid background in the demands of civil litigation. Our associates are no strangers to practical experience. No extent of knowledge, educational background. and even superior ability is sufficient without first-hand litigation experience. Our associates are active in the practice of law -- taking depositions, handling files, arguing motions, and trying cases. Each case is assured aggressive handling by our associates. Our training has paid off handsomely. Our associates are recognized by our peers in the legal profession. Always under partner supervision, they move the cases along to the client's benefit. The track record of our associates the past years confirms the success of our approach. In the past five years, our associates went to jury trial verdict nearly 20 times and arbitrated over four dozen cases.
