I represented Contractors, Subcontractors, Architects, and Owners in the Circuit Court of Cook County. I have closed innumerable real estate deals – commercial, residential and industrial — and the title company I owned has insured the title on all types of property.

I also represented Plaintiffs and Defendants in State and Federal matters throughout the Northern District of Illinois, including Nicor Gas.
