About Shane
Biography
Shane Carnine received his J.D. in 2003 from Southern Illinois University School of Law. Shane's undergraduate studies were in political science, with a semester in Australia to study international law and government. While at SIU law school, he was recognized for his excellence in Corporations and Evidence and served as an Articles Editor to the Law Journal. Shane's legal experience includes a Judicial Clerkship in the Salt Lake City Court of Appeals. Thereafter, Shane successfully practiced for over a dozen years as an insurance defense attorney. He joined Hassakis & Hassakis, P.C. in 2017 as a partner and brings unique perspectives to the practice with decades of civil litigation and trial experience.
Shane focuses his practice on serious semi-truck and commercial vehicle accidents across Illinois, including collisions on Interstate 57, I-64, I-74 and other Illinois interstates — cases that often involve catastrophic injuries and helicopter medical transport from the scene. He recently resolved an auto accident case for $6,000,000.
Shane was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. He and his wife, Erica, are the parents of twins and live in Jefferson County, Illinois. Shane is a licensed pilot and has flown to meet with clients across the region who are unable to travel — an approach clients have told him means a great deal to them during a difficult time.
