About Tomas
Biography
I concentrate my practice in the representation of seriously injured plaintiffs in personal injury matters including construction site negligence, premises liability, automobile negligence, products liability and wrongful death litigation.
I am a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, Chicago Bar Association, Federal Bar Association, and Cuban American Bar Association.
I am a graduate of the Loyola University Chicago where I received a Bachelor's Degree in History and Political Science. I was born in Cuba and I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I was raised in Wheaton, and my wife and I currently reside in the city's northern suburbs.
