About Stephen
He has served consecutive terms on the executive committee of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, where he has co-chaired the Medical Negligence Committee and the Publications Committee. He is currently third vice president of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and becomes the president in 2013.
He has been elected governor for the Illinois State Bar Association and has served in the State Bar Assembly for three terms.
Steve is asked frequently to appear on personal injury and wrongful death matters and has authored several publications.
When asked what it was like to follow in his father’s footsteps as a successful trial lawyer, Steve replies, “I had big shoes to fill when I was a young lawyer straight out of law school. So I was always prepared, I always knew the law. I never took shortcuts ever, ever, ever.” Steve began to establish himself right out of school, turning seemingly dead cases into surprising wins through his persistence and dedication. He has maintained his no-holds-barred work ethic throughout his more than 25 years of law practice.
