Representing Plaintiffs against Powerful Interests and Insurance Companies. Former Prosecutor. Former Insurance Defense Counsel.
Dan Touhy has tried cases from every side of the courtroom — as a prosecutor for the State of Illinois, as corporate defense counsel, and for more than three decades as a plaintiff’s lawyer for individuals and employees.
He knows the defense playbook — the delay tactics, the pressure points, the arguments they’ll make before they make them.
He doesn’t react to the defense. He anticipates it.
40+ years of litigation. $50 million+ recovered. Record-setting verdicts in state and federal courts.
Catastrophic accidents. Medical negligence. Wrongful death. Nursing home injury and neglect. Serious cases where the stakes are high — and the opposition is prepared.
Fractured partnerships. Wage and hour violations. Complex commercial disputes involving millions of dollars. Cases that demand decisive resolution — and an attorney who has been on both sides of the table.
Lead counsel representing 1,000+ store managers. Established the “80–80 Rule” — a federal guideline now followed nationwide protecting employees’ overtime rights.
Seven-figure settlement holding a major utility accountable for toxic exposure in Illinois homes. Lead counsel for affected families throughout northern Illinois.
Architect fatally injured in elevator fall. Full accountability secured against multiple responsible parties.
Medical malpractice causing permanent injury to a new mother. Recovery covered lifetime care and lost earnings.
Multiple awards in state and federal courts — in both catastrophic personal injury and employment cases.
When you call, you get the expert — the attorney who answers your call builds your case, reviews your evidence, and makes every strategic decision.
Big firms separate those roles. Dan doesn’t. You get senior-partner strategy with hands-on execution from day one.
Decisions made in hours, not days. Questions answered by the person who knows your case inside out.
