About Shawn

I am a founding member of Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, LLC.  Prior to founding TKK, I was a partner with the Chicago Personal Injury law firm of Corboy and Demetrio. My success as a leading Chicago personal injury attorney has earned me many honors and great recognition. I was named one of the Top 100 Super Lawyers in Illinois on multiple occasions, and in 2009, was the youngest of only 17 personal injury lawyers to be named to the list of the Top 100 Super Lawyers.
