Two new attorneys join Lavelle Law

Lavelle Law in Schaumburg has announced the hiring of two new associates. Joining the firm are attorneys Nicholas Dollenmaier and Thomas Fox, bringing the total number of attorneys in the firm to 26.

Dollenmaier, a resident of Mundelein, will work primarily in the areas of personal injury and estate planning. He received his B.A. in economics from Western Illinois University before graduating cum laude from the Chicago-Kent College of Law. Prior to his admittance to the Bar, Dollenmaier served as an Illinois Appellate Court law clerk for the Honorable Bertina E. Lampkin as well as clerking at three Chicago area firms including Lavelle Law.

"It is clear to me that at Lavelle Law, everyone is focused on providing outstanding results to our clients," Dollenmaier said. "I'm excited to join a firm that maintains such a high level of commitment to client service and satisfaction as well."

Fox will devote much of his practice to matters of litigation, for both personal and corporate disputes. Fox was awarded his J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Illinois College of Law after earning his B.A. in economics from Northwestern University. While in law school Fox worked with clients at the University of Illinois College of Law Civil Litigation Clinic and clerked both at a law firm and at the 12th Judicial Circuit in Will County.

"Clients put their trust in us when we are engaged in a case, and in working with the team at Lavelle Law I see how hard everyone in the firm works to honor and respect that trust," Fox said. "This is a great environment in which to practice law and I look forward to working with the partners, attorneys and staff that have built the firm's outstanding reputation."

Managing Partner Ted McGinn acknowledged the skill sets each of the new hires brings to Lavelle Law. "With the addition of Nicholas and Tom we have really strengthened our position in several key practice groups," said McGinn. "We anticipate that they will learn from their mentors in the firm, provide excellent, knowledgeable legal services to our clients, and grow as attorneys as they build their practices with us."
