About Austin Scott
Austin Scott Davies is an Illinois-licensed attorney who earned his J.D. from Northern Illinois University in 2016 after beginning the law program in 2013. His legal training combined classroom study and practical work that prepared him for courtroom duties and client counseling. The record of his early career shows a steady move from public service into private practice.
Davies began his professional career in government service. In 2016 he joined the Winnebago County State s Lawyer s Office as an Assistant States Lawyer. That role placed him in day-to-day prosecutorial and trial responsibilities. He spent that initial post developing courtroom skills and learning how local practice operates in Illinois courts.
He moved into private practice in 2018, taking a position as a lawyer with Pro Legal Care LLC. The next year he joined Castlebrook Law, P.C., continuing to work on client matters and case preparation. Those positions exposed him to a wider range of civil and administrative work and to the business side of running a law practice.
In 2020 Davies founded Midwest Legal Care. He has served as the founding lawyer there since that time. Leading a small firm required him to take on both substantive legal work and management duties. He handles intake, case strategy, and client communications while overseeing the administrative needs of the office.
He is a current member of the Illinois State Bar Association. That membership connects him to continuing legal education opportunities and to statewide professional networks. Outside of that association listing, his public profile focuses on the offices he has held and the practice he operates from.
Colleagues and clients describe Davies as steady and practical in his approach to casework. He has experience in courtroom proceedings from his time in the county office and in managing a caseload in private practice. Over time his work has combined litigation tasks with client advising and the routine duties of running a small firm.
As of 2026 he continues to practice from Midwest Legal Care. He represents clients in matters arising under Illinois law and manages the firm’s day-to-day legal services and operations.
