About Mark
Biography
I am an experienced personal injury and workers' compensation trial attorney. I specialize in multiple areas of this field including motor vehicle accidents, construction negligence, slip and falls, work accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, amongst others. I have always dedicated myself to my clients' cases and provide the same dedication and intensity regardless of the case size.
I learned the value of hard work through the various jobs I have held during my life. I am a former member of Laborers' Local #4 and worked as a union laborer throughout college. Upon graduating from law school I began working as an Assistant Counsel to the Speaker of the House of Illinois. During my time there I assisted in the impeachment and removal from office of then Governor Rod Blagojevich which was an invaluable experience.
Since 2009 I found my true calling and have worked as a trial attorney only representing injured plaintiffs and petitioners. I have resolved hundreds of cases through trial, settlement, mediation, and arbitration. I pride myself on always being available to meet my clients' needs and providing them with excellent representation.

Workers Comp Case
Mark did an excellent job with my workers compensation case. He always kept me in the loop and ended up getting me much more money than I expected.
Posted by Desiree | August 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury
I'd highly recommend Mark Connolly.
Mark Connolly represented me in a personal injury slip and fall case. It was a difficult case to prove negligence but Mark Connolly was successful at recovering a generous settlement which covered all my lost wages and medical expenses. The insurance company didn't want to pay out what we fought for ...
