“I have always worked as a Plaintiff’s trial lawyer. I love what I do and cannot imagine doing any other type of work. It gives me great pride to know that each day I help an individual or a family through a difficult time when an unexpected injury has caused such loss and devastation in their lives. Much of what we do is fight insurance companies for benefits and compensation to which our clients are entitled.”
Jill serves on the Board of the Professional Women's Club of Chicago and the Board of Managers of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. She is actively involved in mentoring programs with her law school Chicago-Kent College of Law.
