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.

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.

Replied last January 12, 2017Thank you Marie. None of us want to think about what could go wrong and have to plan for it, but as I tell all my clients...better to prepare now when you are not under the stress of a possible future burden. I aim to make the process of drafting my clients' estate plans as simple and straightforwad as possible, because at the end of the day your peace of mind is the most rewarding part of my job.
