Mr. Connolly provided excellent service for a recent citation. He not only knows DOT, Trucking and Permitting law, he UNDERSTANDS them. His involvement in my case has resulted in tremendous savings.
As the addage goes " In a Heartbeat" I originally retained one attorney that wanted to do whatver the prosecutor wanted and actually apologized for bothering the prosecutor with me sitting there watching. I dismissed this attorney and by whatever reason you wish to choose, I found Mr. Sean Connolly. We had the service to our country as a common attribute. But, I could talk to him. He did not dismiss me or try to get the details and get rid of me as quickly as he could. We talked. Not only about my case but, simple human issues. He cares and is one of us. Meaning he takes the time to listen. He took my case and in the end it was dismissed. He knew how to acheive this dismissal and the prosecutor could only see blood in the water the first time I went to court and personally told me to my face in the form of a threat that she would not accept anything other than my prosecution to full extent of the law. " Egg on her face" after Mr. Connolly represented me. Thank You Sean THANK YOU!
A former prosecutor. Represent clients charged with offenses ranging from traffic tickets to homicide. Additionally, I represent clients charged with overweight truck offenses.

I am an attorney with a broad range of legal experience. Since beginning my legal career in 2002 I have worked as a criminal prosecutor, a commercial litigator, a deputy general counsel, and now a private practicioner with my own firm.
In addition to my civilian career, I am also a Major in the United States Army Reserve where I currently serve as a Judge Advocate. I began my military service in R.O.T.C. at John Carroll University. I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant upon graduation from college in 1996 and served on active duty. In 1999, I left active duty to attend law school and joined the Illinois Army National Guard. In 2000, I joined the Army Reserve.
In 2003, I was recalled to active duty and mobilized to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I reside in the suburbs of Chicago and when I am not working I enjoy spending time with family and friends, working out, running, biking, tennis, and fishing.
