For the past 15 years, he has concentrated his practice exclusively on representing insurance companies and risk pools and their insureds in subrogation, and bodily injury claims arising from transportation, construction, pharmaceutical and premises liability often involving catastrophic injuries. He has successfully taken several jury and non-jury trials to verdict with impressive results. He has taken hundreds of cases to arbitration and mediation with equally successful outcomes. He has handled and participated in over 1,000 depositions, including those of experts in the fields of medicine, construction liability, crash reconstruction and economics. He also has devoted a large part of his practice to defending municipal entities for injuries occurring on park district or municipal property. Additionally, he has developed a niche for defending golf courses and property owners involved in golf course liability cases.When he is not practicing law, he enjoys playing golf, playing the drums, snowmobiling, and wake surfing. He currently resides in Glen Ellyn with his wife, and three children.SeminarsSchwartz Gilligan - “Recent Developments in Illinois Tort Landscape - Part II” - In House, Schaumburg Office (April 7, 2018)Stellato & Schwartz - “Liability Issues in an Auto/Pedestrian Accident” - In House, Schaumburg Office (September 16, 2017)Stellato & Schwartz - “Recent Developments in Illinois Tort Landscape - Whether Defendant’s Medical Condition is at Issue” - In House, Schaumburg Office (April 7, 2017)Stellato & Schwartz - “Illinois Tort Immunity Act - 3-106 Immunity for Injuries on Recreational Property” - In House, Chicago Office (October 2012)Firm Practice AreasAutomobile/Trucking/Car RentalCatastrophic Injury DefenseMunicipal LawPremises LiabilitySubrogationAdmissionsIllinois Supreme CourtUnited States District Court for the Northern District of IllinoisUnited States District Court for the Central District of IllinoisThe John Marshall Law School, J.D., 1999University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, B.A., 1995AffiliationsDuPage County Bar Association
