Lisa Dunn

I work for my clients to solve their problems and achieve the best possible results. I want my clients to be involved in the decision making process. I use my expertise, experience, knowledge and talents to achieve negotiated settlements, when possible, thereby keeping expenses down. I work diligently and aggressively to make sure that you are not taken advantage of and that your rights are protected. While the resolution of your case in an amicable manner is an important goal, my extensive expertise and attention to the details of your case will ensure the highest quality representation at a hearing or trial. I will aggressively advocate on your behalf at settlement conferences, hearings and trials.
I am a graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in Spanish. I graduated from DePaul University College of Law and earned a Juris Doctor. I am a former prosecutor and served as a Hearing Officer for the Illinois Secretary of State, Department of Administrative hearings from 1996-2011.
I have published articles in The Docket, The Official Publication of the Lake County Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association Traffic Laws & Courts newsletter. I am currently serving on Traffic Laws & Courts Section Council for the Illinois State Bar Association.
