Firm Overview

I have had the good fortune of being the lead trial attorney on several multi-million dollar jury verdicts. For example, jury verdicts I have obtained on behalf of clients in Chicago include an Illinois record $5.3 million jury verdict for a knee injury in a trip and fall case; $1.2 million jury verdict for an unoperated compression fracture at L5 in a construction case; and most recently, June 2007, $11.11 million medical malpractice jury verdict for failure to diagnose bacterial meningitis; and a $4.4 million verdict for an electrician who was hurt at McCormick Place when a steel beam he pulled on unexpectedly fell and crushed his foot.

I grew up in Indiana, where my dad was on the administration at the University of Notre Dame. After graduating from Notre Dame with a degree in business, I went to law school at Notre Dame and graduated with distinction. After working six years in Washington, D.C. as an antitrust litigator at the Federal Trade Commission and as a trial attorney for the U.S. Dept. of Justice, I moved home to be near my family.

I then worked as an Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting tax and white-collar fraud cases while in the Northern District of Indiana. I left with the thrill of prosecuting a case with national media headlines in obtaining a health care fraud conviction of a defendant who sold as new what were used heart pacemakers. The case was the apparent basis for an episode on the TV series
