Therman earned his J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 2000 after completing a Bachelor of Arts at Western Kentucky University in 1997.

Over the years he has handled filings and hearings in state and federal forums, and he is admitted to practice in Illinois and in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Those admissions allow him to represent clients in both local and federal bankruptcy proceedings.
Therman maintains memberships in several professional organizations. He is a member of the Chicago Bar Association, the Lake County Bar Association, the Will County Bar Association, and the Illinois State Bar Association. Those memberships reflect a practice that operates across county lines. Colleagues and clients see him often at court dockets and bar association events where procedural developments and local practice norms are discussed.
His day-to-day work involves preparing filings, counseling clients on their options, and representing them at hearings. He handles matters that arise in bankruptcy court and the related pre- and post-filing stages. Cases vary in size and complexity, from straightforward consumer filings to more involved business restructurings. He runs his private office while also participating in the regional bankruptcy center’s operations, balancing client needs with the calendars of multiple courts.
