John S. Fotopoulos founded the Fotopoulos Law Office on two core principals – to provide elite legal counsel to all clients, and to do so at reasonable rates so those who require representation and advice can afford it. He concentrates on personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal law cases. Attorney Fotopoulos received his undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and graduated from the John Marshall Law School. With nearly two decades of legal experience, he has been recognized as a Top 100 Lawyer by The National Advocates, and the 10 Best in Client Satisfaction from the American Institutes of Criminal Law Attorneys, Personal Injury Attorneys, and DUI/DWI Attorneys. He also holds a 10.0 Avvo Rating for Personal Injury. John serves Chicago-area clients from his offices in Orland Park and Joliet.
