About George J. Arnold
George J. Arnold II built much of his early career in Cook County. He served as a Cook County states lawyer, a role that put him in the courts and in contact with a broad cross-section of public and private matters. That period shaped his practical understanding of courtroom procedure and local practice norms.
He moved from public service into roles within the legal community’s institutional life. Arnold has been president of the Southwest Bar Association. He also served on the board of directors for the Suburban Bar Coalition. Those leadership posts required him to organize programs, work with other local bars, and represent member interests at regional meetings.
Active in professional associations, Arnold holds memberships in the State Bar of Illinois and the Chicago Bar Association. He has taken part in association activities and has maintained connections across Cook County’s bench and bar. That network has been a steady source of referrals and professional discussion over the years.
Colleagues describe Arnold as methodical and steady in the courtroom. He brings an institutional view to cases, informed by his time in county service and by the perspective gained from bar leadership. He has advised newer lawyers through association-run mentorship and often appears at bar events to speak on practice issues. His experience on boards has given him familiarity with the administrative and policy side of organized bar work.
Arnold practices at Sosin, Arnold & Schoenbeck LTD., where he is based in the Chicago area. He divides his time between client representation and association work. He handles matters that require an understanding of local court procedures and the dynamics of Cook County practice. He represents clients out of Sosin, Arnold & Schoenbeck LTD., and his current practice centers on litigation and client representation in the Cook County area.
