About Anthony
Anthony Samples works as an attorney in Illinois and practices at Elman Joseph Law Group, LLC. He trained in law at Loyola University Chicago School of Law after studying political science and economics at Illinois College. Those two institutions shaped his legal and analytical approach. They also set the stage for a practice rooted in state-level representation.
His path through law school emphasized practical skills. He spent time researching complex statutory and regulatory questions. He wrote briefs and memos that paired careful legal analysis with attention to detail. At Illinois College he studied both the mechanics of governance and the fundamentals of markets. That combination informs how he frames issues for clients and courts.
After completing his J.D., he began practicing in Illinois and joined Elman Joseph Law Group, LLC. At the firm he has worked on matters that arise in state court and administrative settings. He has experience preparing pleadings, handling discovery, and participating in negotiations. His work at the firm places him squarely in day-to-day courtroom and client-facing practice.
Colleagues describe him as thorough in legal research and precise in drafting. He favors clear, concise arguments and prepares cases with an eye toward both litigation and resolution. He has handled hearings and motions in Illinois courts and has experience advising clients on procedural and substantive issues that matter to case outcomes.
Outside of casework, his academic background continues to inform his work. Courses in economics help him evaluate damages and transactional contexts. Political science coursework helps in understanding regulatory frameworks and the interplay of local and state institutions. Those perspectives are often part of how he assesses risk and plots strategy for clients.
He is licensed to practice law in Illinois and carries out his work from Elman Joseph Law Group, LLC. He represents clients in matters before Illinois courts and administrative bodies and focuses his practice on serving those local and state needs.
