I worked in the insurance industry both as an adjuster and as an account executive while attending Loyola University School of Law in Chicago, and received my Juris Doctor in 1978. I have practiced law in Cook and Dupage Counties since 1978 and established my own sole practice in 1983. I am married to Susan and have 3 children.
