About John
Biography
Attorney John P. Casey was born and raised in Naperville, Illinois. He graduated from Chicago Kent Law School with Distinction, then spent nearly a decade defending persons charged with crimes in the Public Defender’s office in Kane and DuPage Counties. Due to his exceptional trial skill he quickly rose in the ranks, handling his own trials and supervising other attorneys. Mr. Casey then gained invaluable experience by moving to civil defense work at Norton, Mancini -- a firm specializing in the defense of insured doctors and hospitals in Medical Malpractice claims, as well as Municipal and Legal Malpractice Defense matters. There, Mr. Casey learned from some of the best in the field.
He has gone on to share his experience by providing exceptional service to his many clients – and amassing an impressive record of providing effective representation in over 100 jury trials – and by giving back to the community by teaching the art of the trial to younger attorneys and students Mr. Casey first and foremost -- a Trial Lawyer. That is his passion and his life’s work. There is nothing I love more than arguing to a jury. I have spent the last ten years doing just that…trying as many cases as I could, and both my clients and I have been lucky enough to have enjoyed significant positive results.
Attorney Casey is often asked to lecture on subjects such as Jury Selection and Trial Skills. Additionally, he has spent the last three years coaching the Glenbard South High School Mock Trial Team, which took second place in the State in 2006.

Horrible attorney. I fired him. Should be disbarred.
I retained casey to represent me in a divorce case and a tenant eviction case. After our first court date casey became condescending, unprofessional and belligerent to the point that I HAD TO FIRE HIM. I believe that his attitude changed because he was colluding with opposing counsel and was trying t...

Guided me through a complex process.
John handled my personal injury case. He helped me navigate the complexities of subrogated medical claims, and an unresponsive, under-insured defendant to a settlement that I believe provides me with the security I need for any related eventualities. He explained the various aspects of the case and t...
