Trial-tested perspective. Reliable partnership.
Dan Touhy partners selectively with other firms on complex personal-injury and high-stakes litigation matters, including cases involving systemic wrongdoing. With more than 40 years of litigation experience in state and federal courts — and over $50 million recovered — he brings the strategic perspective of a former prosecutor and defense attorney to every collaboration.
Lead counsel in landmark cases including Perez v. RadioShack, which established the nationwide “80–80 Rule” protecting employees’ overtime rights.
Having prosecuted for the State of Illinois and defended corporations in catastrophic-injury cases, Dan anticipates defense strategies and identifies pressure points other plaintiffs’ attorneys often miss.
Dan’s solo structure allows him to commit to multi-year litigation without internal pressure to settle early. When cases demand sustained effort against well-resourced opponents, he has the flexibility — and the resolve — to see them through.
Dan both accepts and refers select cases. He values referral relationships built on trust and mutual respect, not rigid case thresholds. He maintains clear communication throughout every engagement, honors originating counsel, and ensures clients understand the value each attorney contributes.
