Biography
From 1984 to 1988, Tom Tuohy served as Special Assistant Attorney General of Illinois and founded Tuohy Law Offices in 1982.
Born on the Westside of Chicago, a grandson of a police chief and son of a detective, Tom has been both a police lawyer and a community lawyer. He has represented thousands of police, from patrol officers to superintendents, and provided over 6,500 Living Trust estate plans for working-class families.
In addition to providing legal services for Living Trusts, Estate Planning, and Small Business owners, Tuohy Law Offices is dedicated to serving every legal need of its clients. Accordingly, a network of experienced national and local attorneys is available. Its affiliated attorneys concentrate in these areas - Catastrophic Personal Injury, Malpractice, Products Liability, Mesothelioma, Wrongful Death, Worker's Compensation, Sexual Abuse, Nursing Home Abuse, and Neglect.
For over three decades, Tom Tuohy has been honored yearly as one of the few attorneys in the United States to receive the highest (A/V) rating for legal ability and ethical standards. Martindale-Hubbell has provided such ratings for more than 138 years.
In 2015, the National Association of Distinguished Counsel selected Mr. Tuohy as one of the select Nations' Top 1%, recognizing attorneys who elevate the bar's standards and providing a benchmark for other attorneys to emulate. Selected attorneys are vetted by independent research of a blue-ribbon panel and approved by a judicial review board.
