About John W.
John W. Chwarzynski built his path to the bar through a steady progression of undergraduate study and law school. He earned a bachelor’s degree in politics and pre-law studies from Lake Forest College in 2007. He later attended the University of Illinois Chicago John Marshall Law School, completing his J.D. in 2017.
While still in law school, Chwarzynski gained hands-on experience in a busy plaintiff-side office. He served as a law clerk at Corboy & Demetrio, P.C. in 2015. That early exposure shaped the practical side of his training and offered an introduction to case preparation and courtroom procedures.
After law school he moved quickly into courtroom work. In 2017 he worked as a trial lawyer at Chute O’Malley Knobloch & Turcy, LLC. He later handled trial matters at Susan E. Loggans & Associates, P.C. in 2019. The same year he is listed as having trial responsibilities at Hale & Monico. Those roles reflect repeated engagement in litigation and trial practice across several firms.
Chwarzynski is admitted to practice in Illinois and before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. His résumé shows steady involvement in trial dockets and civil litigation matters. He has pursued courtroom appearances and case development from the early stages of his career through more recent assignments.
Outside of firm work he has taken part in professional and civic groups. He holds current memberships in the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association, the Illinois Trial Lawyer’s Association and the American Association for Justice. In 2018 he was involved with the Young Champions Committee and the Rita Hayworth Gala for the Alzheimer’s Association, reflecting participation in community fundraising events tied to the legal community.
