Over the course of his career, Justin has deposed, counseled, presented, and defended thousands of corporate, medical, and expert witnesses. Justin has researched, authored, orally argued, and won dispositive motions for summary judgment removing his clients from the case without settlement or trial. He has also earned more than 35 defense jury trial verdicts.
Due to his extensive litigation and trial experience, Justin is the primary managing attorney from case inception to resolution over some of the firm’s most contentious cases in historically defense-adverse jurisdictions in Illinois. Locally, he represents clients in in Cook, Will, Madison, McHenry, McLean, Morgan, and Rock Island Counties in Illinois and in state and federal courts in Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
Justin began his legal career as a trial attorney for defendants in a high-volume personal injury and premises liability defense practice, personally taking thousands of cases from investigation to successful trial verdict or settlement. He then represented injured plaintiffs in common carrier liability, premises liability, and pharmacy negligence cases, giving him the perspective to see the practical realities on both sides of litigation.
After returning to the defense bar, Justin also represented defendant physicians and nurses in dental malpractice, medical malpractice, and nursing home negligence litigation, and represented insurance companies in commercial policy coverage disputes.
