With Mike by your side, you can feel confident about your legal representation. Mike's wide-ranging experience goes back to his law school days. Before he graduated from DePaul University College of Law, Mike received first-hand litigation experience as a 711 prosecutor in the Felony Trial Division at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. While working there, he prosecuted numerous criminal cases via bench trials, motions, and 402 conferences. Mike has focused his practice in personal injury litigation since being sworn into the Illinois State Bar in 2004. He has obtained millions of dollars in settlements, arbitration awards, and jury verdicts for victims in personal injury cases. His common everyday experience, professional demeanor, and healthy competitive edge provide him with an uncanny ability to negotiate settlements with non-attorney insurance adjusters and battle against Illinois' toughest defense firms. Mike was born and raised on the north side of Chicago and attended Loyola Academy in Wilmette. He went to Purdue University where he played rugby all for years. Outside of the law, Mike volunteers his time coaching football, basketball, and baseball for Park Ridge house and travel teams. He also enjoys playing old boys rugby.
