About Dennis
Biography
I graduated from DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois in 1987 with majors in Philosophy and Political Science and a minor in Business Administration and received my law degree from the John Marshall School of Law in 1990, and received an advanced Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Illinois in 1991; in 2014, I received an advanced LLM in Real Estate law.
I am a life long resident of Illinois, primarily in Chicago and currently in Mount Prospect. I am married with three boys. Outside of my practice, I coach baseball, basketball and football and am very active in the community.
I have practiced in many varying areas of the law with primary focus in the areas of commercial real estate transactions, real estate development, business planning, contract negotiation and drafting, estate planning, and probate and trust administration.
I am a member of several Bar Associations and law sections and I am a member of the Wisconsin bar. I am also an Illinois Managing Real Estate Broker and title agent for Chicago Title and Trust.
