About Brian J.
Brian J. Conneran-Weig is an attorney licensed to practice in Illinois and North Dakota. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of North Dakota School of Law in 1995. Early classroom training and the demands of practice shaped his approach to litigation and client service.
He began his legal career in 1995 as an associate lawyer and office manager at Robert J. LaBine & Associates. Four years later he joined Paulsen, Malec & Malarsik as an associate lawyer in 1999. In 2004 he became a senior associate lawyer at Patton & Ryan, LLC and continued building trial-oriented litigation experience. By 2009 he was serving as senior litigation counsel at Ruberry, Stalmack & Garvey. That role led in 2011 to work as litigation counsel at Solis Law Office. In 2013 he opened his own practice and has served as owner and principal lawyer of Conneranweig Law Office since then.
The timeline of positions shows a steady focus on civil litigation. He moved through roles that emphasized case management and courtroom preparation. Those positions required handling pleadings, discovery and negotiation in contested matters. Over time he shifted from supporting roles and firm management into lead counsel positions and finally into private practice ownership.
Clients seeking representation in injury cases are the primary constituency of his firm. The Conneranweig Law Office handles personal injury litigation and related civil claims. Cases are developed through investigation, factual and legal analysis, and procedural work aimed at resolution through settlement or trial. His practice brings together the litigation work he performed at several Chicago-area and regional firms before founding his own office.
Colleagues and adversaries in courtrooms would describe him as a lawyer who built his career by moving through progressively responsible litigation positions and then starting a practice to handle injury matters directly. He maintains active licenses in both Illinois and North Dakota and manages his office operations while trying cases and negotiating on behalf of clients. He continues to represent individuals in personal injury litigation at Conneranweig Law Office.
