I am a graduate of Southern Illinois University, School of Law with a J.D. in 1985. During my stay at SIU, I was involved in the formation of the Sigma Pi Fraternity. In 1986 I was hired as a partner of the firm Taradash & Bentley where I practiced law in McHenry County. From 1986 to 1997 I was a member of the Board of Governors of the McHenry County Bar Association. In 1997 I left the firm and formed my own practice.
My practice now focuses on Bankruptcy, Personal Injury, Workmen's Compensation, Real Estate, Criminal, Traffic and DUI. I work with an outstanding staff who is both knowledgeable in assisting our clients and responsive to the needs of the firm.
