About John
John Martoccio has been rooted in Illinois since birth. Frank Martoccio and Julia Martoccio, his parents, were practicing attorneys in Chicago, Illinois and encouraged their son John Martoccio to have a strong legal background.
Lucy Palermo, John’s grandmother was one of the first Italian American Woman to hold public office in the United States. She was a Cook County Commissioner in 1930, and was active in the Women’s Movement and in services to the sick and injured. She knew Jane Adams of Hull House. She also entertained Eleanor Roosevelt at the Columbian Exposition.
After graduating from Maine Township High School in Des Plaines, Illinois, John Martoccio went on to study at Lake Forest College, and graduated with high honors and a B.A. in political science from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago in 1970.
He continued at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, where he graduated Magna cum laude with a J.D. in 1973. During law school, John was a member of Tau Epsilon Rho Law fraternity, as well as making it on the Dean’s List all three years.
After graduation, he was admitted to the Illinois State Bar, and began practicing law at Schiller & Schiller from 1975-1976, before becoming a partner at Martoccio & Martoccio. He taught Law School as Adjunct faculty at John Marshall Law School.
John has handled divorce and family law cases in trial courts throughout Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall and Will Courts of Illinois. He is also an accomplished Illinois Appellate Court Lawyer. Mr. Martoccio is a frequent lecture on family law issues in Illinois and has written extensively on the subject of divorce, families and law.
