About Jay
Biography
I represent businesses and individuals in their legal disputes and lawsuits in the Chicago area. After earning degrees at Northwestern and Georgetown, I began my career at Jenner & Block representing Fortune 500 companies in lawsuits in federal and state courts. I spent the next ten years developing my skills with some very fine lawyers and gaining valuable experience, including U.S. Supreme Court appeals and federal court trials. In 1997, I opened my own practice.
My goal is to deliver high-quality, aggressive litigation services to clients in a cost-effective manner. I have focused my practice on small to medium-sized businesses, partnerships, and entrepreneurs because I can provide them with services superior to the services they usually receive from law firms. These clients can be an afterthought at large law firms, whose high rates force smaller cases down to the least experienced attorneys. And many smaller firms do not have litigators with the trial experence, strategy skills, and smarts necessary to provide top-shelf representation. In addition, I can bring in other talented and experienced attorneys, including those with specialized backgrounds, when a case requires it.
