Biography
Anthony (“Tony”) M. Abou Ezzi graduated Magna Cum Laude from North Central College with a degree in Entrepreneurship and Small-Business Management, and a minor in Professional Conflict Resolution. He received his Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in 2013 where he served as a Staff Editor on the Journal for Computer and Internet Law (J.C.I.L.) and Chairman Special Events Coordinator for the Corporate Law Association. Tony is licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois.
Prior to and during law school, Tony interned at Equip for Equality, an organization in Chicago that offers legal assistance to individuals with a disability. Tony served as a Judicial Extern for the Honorable Judge William J. Haddad in the Circuit Court of Cook County during 2011 and 2012. In 2013, Tony was awarded the AT&T Excellence in Pro Bono Legal Services Award, which sponsored him to work with the Center for Disability and Elder Law, an organization that provides legal services to the elderly and individuals with a disability. After law school, Tony accepted a position with a Naperville law firm where he focused on Estate Planning, Probate, Contracts and Business/Corporate Formation.
Tony enjoys serving as a speaker and panelist for Hands and Voices, an organization that provides support for parents of deaf or hard-of-hearing children, the Illinois Court Reporter’s Association, to discuss best-practices for providing services to deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and Attorneys, and several high schools to discuss the importance of self-advocacy.

"Tony is very knowledgable about wills, estate planning, probate, guardianship, etc. He is my source for these areas. I strongly recommend Tony as he is smart, effective, and easy to talk to."
"I've known Tony for a while now. He's my go-to guy when it comes to referral for estates, guardianship, etc. His professionalism speaks volumes of his character."
"My wife and I had put off having our wills done for years. We both thought it would be a lot of time that neither of us had. When we finally had our son we realized we need to get it done. Tony guided us through the process every step of the way. He explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. Tony seemed to go an extra step for every part of the process. For example, when I would have been content reviewing documents myself, Tony reviewed them with me and made sure I understood everything. Tony's easygoing personality made it enjoyable to work with him and he truly takes pride in his work and cares about his clients."
