As a Partner at Chicago based Corboy & Demetrio, Michael K. Demetrio's reputation as a trial attorney speaks for itself. His firm is led by some of the nation's best attorneys, and his career is just as distinguished. After graduation from the IIT Chicago - Kent College of Law in 1979, Michael worked as a criminal prosecutor at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office before embarking on a successful career as a civil trial attorney. His focus on repesenting clients and individuals in personal injury and wrongful death cases, including product liability, construction liability and motor vehicle liability has led him to trying over 100 cases to verdict and winning a case in a US Airways jet crash that settled for $25.2 million, a commercial aviation record. His record as a trial attorney has earned him election to the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and numerous other peer and professional honors in the field. He is indeed one of the best attorneys in the state of Illinois and the nation, and his work as a scholar and Adjunct Professor of Law at his alma mater should serve as an inspiration for future civil litigators.
