Robert P. Kramer began his legal journey while earning his law degree by serving as front-end supervisor at Builder’s Square — a position he held to underwrite his education. He received his Juris Doctor from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 1993. Upon passing the bar, he joined a regional attorney whose practice provided commercial real estate counsel for restaurant franchises throughout the Midwest. Robert then moved to a general-practice litigation firm in Hinsdale, Illinois, where he handled matters in divorce and family law, real estate transactions, and personal injury claims. In 1997, he struck out on his own and opened his first office in Plainfield — an enterprise that laid the foundation for his growing practice. Nearly two decades later, in 2016, he expanded by launching a second office in Lombard.
